On the 25th of January, Siklu and Signify announced a strategic partnership agreement to add Siklu’s MultiHaul™ TG multi-gigabit wireless connectivity technology to Signify’s BrightSites portfolio. This combination will result in an addition to the BrightSites portfolio, which will be known as Broadband luminaires.
Signify’s new innovative BrightSites solution is converting streetlights into a wireless connectivity grid which can facilitate a wide range of digital city services, such as: IoT, security and traffic monitoring, 4G/5G small cells, as well as “digital inclusion” initiatives including municipal Wi-Fi and residential broadband access. The new broadband luminaires, integrate Siklu’s Terragraph-compliant MultiHaul™ TG multi-gigabit wireless connectivity technology to significantly reduce the dependency on fiber deployment and enable municipalities to create a wireless mesh network by replacing their luminaires with Broadband luminaires.
“Siklu products are already enabling a wide range of urban and industrial services that require gigabit broadband access. With the increasing demand for high-speed internet connections everywhere, especially in the COVID era, we share Signify’s vision of utilizing the lighting infrastructure as the connectivity grid of the future.” said Ronen Ben-Hamou, CEO of Siklu. “Signify is the global leader in lighting infrastructure, and we are excited to collaborate in the digitalization of cities and transforming our vision into reality.”
