Flashnet’s commitment to interoperability and open standards has proven successful. With projects in cities like Washington, D.C., Brussels or Riyadh, the company now manages over 1 million smart street lights across all continents.
Flashnet was founded in 2005 with a vision: to integrate cutting-edge technology into urban infrastructure, creating smarter and more sustainable cities. From the outset, Flashnet’s approach has centered on open standards and interoperability, ensuring that their solutions remain adaptable and future-proof.
The company quickly identified the potential in revolutionising street lighting. This led to the development of inteliLIGHT, a solution designed to optimise street lighting efficiency and control. Over the years, Flashnet has expanded from a small startup into one of the leading smart street lighting providers in the world.
Its smart lighting solutions have transformed cities worldwide. In the United States, Flashnet has revolutionised Washington, D.C.’s smart lighting system with smart controllers that optimise energy use and improve maintenance efficiency. In Europe, Flashnet was chosen for a 10-year public smart lighting project in and around Brussels, with the goals of significantly cutting energy costs and enhancing public safety.
Deployments in Saudi Arabia, Chile, and Cyprus have improved efficiency, security, and sustainability. These are just a few of the major projects that have set the stage for Flashnet’s expansion, with hundreds of other projects ongoing to drive the future of smart street lighting.
inteliLIGHT, Flashnet’s, city-centric smart street lighting system, provides interoperability with different connectivity technologies and IoT platforms. Equipped with energy-saving features, fault detection, and user-friendly interfaces, inteliLIGHT is at the forefront of smart street lighting advancements worldwide.
The system provides energy savings, fault detection, and a user-friendly interface, ensuring reliable performance in all weather conditions and seamless integration with urban infrastructure. Supporting LoRaWAN, NB-IoT, and LTE-M, inteliLIGHT adapts to diverse urban settings.
Looking ahead, Flashnet is committed to expanding its influence by continuing to innovate and collaborate with cities and utility providers worldwide.
“The achievement of controlling over 1 million smart street lights worldwide is a proud moment for us,” said Lorand Mozes, CEO of Flashnet. “They mean more than just numbers; it’s about the real impact on communities – safer streets, more efficient energy use, and better urban living. We’re excited about the future and committed to continuing our work to enhance city life.
