💡 SMARTLIGHT: Halfway through the project — Live demonstrations and a spotlight on the demonstration site!

On 22 July 2026, another meeting of the SMARTLIGHT project consortium took place. The project is developing an innovative, smart and multifunctional street lighting solution, featuring integrated sensors, cutting-edge computing and artificial intelligence.

With 17 months of the project now complete and the project now halfway through its duration, this meeting was particularly special: for the first time, the partners — FISOLA, IPB/CeDRI, Drivetel and TURNPAGE — were able to watch live demonstrations of what has been developed so far, with a focus on:

🔌 PCBs — the printed circuit boards developed for the system

⚙️ Backend — the FIWARE architecture and the platform’s data processing

🖥️ Frontends — the platform’s management and monitoring interfaces

🔒 Cybersecurity — the security solutions implemented to protect the infrastructure and communications

📍 Demonstration site — the location where the project’s demonstration lighting column will be installed was presented

Seeing 17 months of work come to life in real-world demonstrations is always a memorable moment. SMARTLIGHT is halfway there — and the next steps look promising! 🚀
