About the Network Lighting Management System
ploys Smart LED Streetlights with Real-Time Monitoring
Pittsburgh is upgrading 36,536 streetlights to connected LEDs, enabling remote monitoring and Dark-Sky compliant lighting. The robust mesh network is managed by G3+ Gateway and connects to the Dimonoff | SCMS platform. These systems allow city officials to monitor energy consumption, detect outages, and optimize maintenance in real-time enhancing public safety, improving visibility and advancing city sustainability goals.
Pittsburgh Leads Smart City Development.
Smart streetlighting serves as the backbone of Pittsburgh’s connected infrastructure, with Dimonoff’s scalable network enabling future IoT applications like environmental monitoring and public safety systems.
