In designing and implementing Smart Lighting networks, cities have shifted from simple street illumination toward connected, data‑driven, interoperable infrastructure that supports broader urban services.
Our podcast series “Cities Thriving on Lighting” explores how Smart Lighting has evolved into an essential pillar of urban innovation. Supported by Smart Cities World, we navigate the strategic foundations of modern lighting, the technology that enables it and make it cyber safe, and some real‑world deployments that demonstrate its value in practice.
In the first episode, our CEO Julia Arneri Borghese and Carlo Bernocco, Head of Business and Customer Success discuss city lighting as a strategic platform for smarter, safer, and more sustainable urban environments, and explain why interoperability matters.
In the second episode, Julia Arneri Borghese and Matteo Semmoloni, Head of Solution Design, unpack what it really takes to turn existing streetlight infrastructure into a flexible, future-ready urban platform. They introduce our simplicity-by-design approach and how standard-based solutions help cities avoid vendor lock-in, reduce long-term costs, and stay flexible as needs evolve.
In the third episode, Valentina Taddeo, Marketing & Communication Leader and Strategic Relationship Coordinator, moves from theory to real-world cases, sharing insights from recent projects in Europe and Southeast Asia. Fabio Mauri, Head of Technology Operations and Cyber Security, deep dives into cybersecurity and explains how cities can reduce their exposure through the right combination of technology, processes, and people.
