Improving urban lighting with AI to save up to 30% energy

At Telefónica Tech, we have enhanced our smart outdoor lighting solution by incorporating an additional layer of AI and the capabilities of our Smart Steps platform. This will allow municipalities to adapt lighting profiles to real needs and achieve energy savings of up to 30%.

Smart Steps processes anonymized and aggregated crowd behavior data obtained from millions of mobile lines. Considering variables such as mobility in the area, points of interest, and weather conditions, this information is crucial for public administrations and private companies to make more informed decisions and efficiently plan urban infrastructures and services, especially during special events, improving citizens' experience.

Thanks to this technology, the luminaires are managed in real-time, adjusting power according to each location's demand. Our smart outdoor lighting solution from Telefónica Tech reduces light pollution and facilitates preventive and predictive maintenance. This reduces operational costs by up to 20%.

Our comprehensive smart outdoor lighting solution has been tested at The ThinX, our IoT laboratory where we develop and test IoT devices and connectivity before mass deployment.
