It’s a celebration of our team, customers and partners who have all helped in taking that step towards a smarter city, creating millions of pounds worth of energy savings and carbon reduction.” **said Brent Hudson, CEO, Telensa.** “I look forward to further collaboration between the Telensa team and our customers to make more sustainable, data-driven cities.” Since our first city-wide deployment in 2010, Telensa’s smart streetlight footprint grew to one million by 2015, fast forward to 2020 and this has nearly doubled, securing Telensa the Global #1 position. The increase in deployments has been driven by the solid business case smart streetlights present: auditing LED performance, maximising energy savings, creating maintenance efficiency and providing a foundation for further smart city sensing.
