In Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia, almost 90,000 LED street lights are controlled and managed remotely. In the second phase of the project, which is currently being implemented, 150,000 will be upgraded, making this the largest smart street lighting project in Southeast Asia. The use of LEDs represents savings of over 50% in energy efficiency.
“It is the lack of a financial model to justify IoT projects that makes adoption still incipient, and not the absence of technology” […] “Using these sensors only to control lights would probably not justify the investment. However, if we consider the other possible sources of savings, such as reducing the cost of suppliers who take care of the maintenance of a city, it will actually be very cheap”, says the Sales and Commercial Director of Signify Brazil, Sergio Baptista da Costa.
