Description
Interact City (aka CityTouch) offers innovative connected LED lighting, making cities and communities more livable.

Signify's Interact City (also known as CityTouch) offers innovative connected LED lighting and aims to provide systems that increase the liveability and connectivity of our environment while also being mindful of our social responsibility, transforming lighting into an intelligent language. As cities grow, the challenges they pose—environmental, economic, and social—grow with them. But cities are hubs of diversity and innovation: they can also become the source of solutions. Public lighting has always played an important role in cities, but now with LED, connected lighting it can fulfill its role as never before. By digitizing and connecting traditional street lighting, cities can deliver the right light when and where needed, optimize operations, save money, and help people feel safer and more comfortable. But the value of digitized public lighting doesn’t stop there. As part of the IoT environment, the connected street lighting infrastructure can become an enabling platform for smart city applications, hosting sensor networks and wireless communications for smart parking, noise and air quality monitoring, incident detection, and more. Because street lighting is already installed throughout the city, a connected system can serve as an integration point for many other city services.

Citytouch is now part of our Interact City offering, see https://www.interact-lighting.com/global/what-is-possible/interact-city
