Client:
District Department of Transportation (DDOT)

Project Description:
The DC Smart Street Lighting project is the first urban P3 street lighting project in North America. The District is upgrading all of the related infrastructure including the light heads and poles, converting the District’s network of more than 75,000 streetlights into energy-efficient LED bulbs and also upgrading and expanding its Wi-Fi infrastructure and network. The Wi-Fi component of the project will add 239 wireless access points across the District, expanding broadband availability into areas of need within the District. The District will also install a remote monitoring and control system for the network that will allow the city to operate its streetlights much like a smart-home, with the ability to monitor and turn on and off lights from miles away.
