inteliLIGHT Smart Street Lighting Control

Flashnet is a technology company founded in 2005 in Brasov, Romania, and part of Lucy Group since 2022. It combines IT, energy and telecom technologies to help cities cut the energy and maintenance cost of public lighting, which it says accounts for more than 19% of global power consumption.

inteliLIGHT pairs lamp-level controllers with central streetlight control software. Controllers come in Zhaga, NEMA, embedded, pole-mounted and FRCM cabinet versions and connect over NB-IoT, LTE-M or LoRaWAN, so cities can choose public networks or private gateways. The software switches, dims and schedules each lamp, reports consumption and faults in real time, monitors the grid like a utility and integrates with other smart city platforms through open, TALQ-certified data models. Customers are municipalities, utilities and lighting operators.

• Lamp-level control: Switches, dims and schedules each streetlight remotely.
• Controller range: Offers Zhaga, NEMA, embedded, pole-mounted and FRCM cabinet controllers.
• Multi-network connectivity: Connects over NB-IoT, LTE-M or LoRaWAN.
• Grid monitoring: Detects changes and faults along the lighting grid in real time.
• Maintenance tools: Generates reports for preventive interventions and repair planning.
• Open integration: Uses TALQ-certified interfaces to link with traffic, EV charging and environmental sensors.

A city lighting company in Vietnam can retrofit LED streetlights with NEMA or Zhaga controllers to dim lights late at night and detect failed lamps automatically. Industrial parks and new urban areas can run private LoRaWAN networks for lighting and environmental sensors. Provincial IOCs can pull lighting status and energy data into one dashboard.

Flashnet states that inteliLIGHT reduces lighting energy costs by up to 35% through switching, targeted dimming and consumption management, and overall operating costs by up to 42% through preventive maintenance. It claims 99.99% of the lighting system stays operational at any time. Communication-agnostic hardware and open data models help cities avoid vendor lock-in.

Cities worldwide are converting streetlights to LED and adding remote control to cut energy bills and emissions. Streetlight poles are also becoming the backbone for smart city sensors. In Vietnam, provinces are building intelligent operations centres and need lighting data that can be integrated into them.

Flashnet was founded in 2005 in Brasov, Romania, and has been part of Lucy Group since 2022. inteliLIGHT is its registered trademark. It reports more than 1 million connected lamps in hundreds of cities on six continents, including Brussels, Washington D.C. and Riyadh. Network partners include Deutsche Telekom, Orange, Nokia, Vodafone and 1NCE. Products carry TALQ and D4i certification.
