Cambridge, UK 15th April 2020, Telensa today announced that it has been named as the world’s top vendor of smart street lighting in a study undertaken by leading Internet of Things (IoT) analyst, Berg Insight. The Q3-2019 report, Smart Cities: Connected Public Spaces, analysed the latest developments in the global smart street lighting, smart parking, smart waste management and smart city surveillance markets and found that, Telensa is the leading smart street lighting vendor with an installed base of nearly 1.8 million lighting controls, accounting for a global market share of 14.4%.
“The street lighting market is entering a new era of competition in which success will be determined by the ability of companies to establish themselves as competitive providers of communications and management platforms for smart city devices,” said Levi Östling, analyst at Berg Insight. “This is an area in which Telensa have made great strides, partnering with companies such as Microsoft, Samsung and Qualcomm to deliver a holistic smart city platform solution to cities including sensor-based data processing and analytics.”
