en.Wedoany.com Reported - Telefónica's digital business unit, Telefónica Tech, is deploying a smart street lighting system in Santa Pola, Spain. Based on NB-IoT technology, the system enables remote management of all LED streetlights in the city through approximately 6,300 nodes with NB-IoT connectivity. This deployment allows the joint venture formed by Ferrovial Energía and Iberdrola Clientes to individually adjust lighting levels based on actual demand.
Telefónica completed the deployment in collaboration with Spanish manufacturer Tellink. These nodes transmit data in real time even in hard-to-reach areas, consolidating information on a monitoring and remote control platform. With this technology, Santa Pola, a major tourist town, can reduce lighting in low-traffic areas and enhance it during crowded events, thereby optimizing energy consumption.
The solution improves operational efficiency by enabling early detection of faults or damage, facilitating efficient maintenance. It also reduces light pollution, energy consumption, and carbon footprint, driving the town's transition toward a more sustainable and environmentally friendly model.
Santa Pola Mayor Loreto Serrano stated that one of the key challenges of this term is to update and digitize the city's entire public lighting system. The city council is investing heavily to provide residents with advanced technology while achieving energy efficiency gains, cost savings, and a reduced carbon footprint.
Dario Cesena, IoT Director at Telefónica Tech, noted that the company is committed to being the best gateway to digital technology, helping public and private organizations make data-driven decisions. The smart streetlight solution provides connectivity for streetlights, enabling more efficient, personalized, agile, and sustainable management. Tellink CEO Dionisio Martínez said that successfully addressing large-scale deployments of smart luminaires and controllers for local governments requires accumulated experience. Tellink has gained expertise through over 100 previous smart lighting contracts and is applying it to the Santa Pola project, helping achieve the goal of making the town one of the tourist destinations in the Valencian Community with the lowest carbon footprint and highest lighting quality.
