GE Pilots Intelligent City Development

New GE Technology


 San Diego and Jacksonville will soon begin piloting new GE technology designed to help them become more intelligent and efficient. Both cities will incorporate into the GE LED solution that uses LED street lighting installations to connect, collect, and analyze data. It will harness the power of the industrial Internet to help their cities run better while providing new services and conveniences for residents and visitors. By repurposing street lights with LEDs containing sensors, controls, wireless transmitters, and microprocessors, a city will be able to create new opportunities for reducing cost, optimizing operations and creating value-added services for residents, making their cities even more livable and workable.

According to Maryrose Sylvester, president and CEO of GE Lighting, “We will be working with the cities to analyze data trends and determine where the solution holds the most value and how it will ultimately be used.”

“Jacksonville is excited to be on the front lines with this pilot project, using new technology to increase efficiency and drive innovation at no cost to taxpayers,” added Jacksonville Mayor Alvin Brown. “This technology has the potential to transform how our city solves problems by allowing us to use the power of data to drive outcomes that give us flexibility, efficiency, and new, creative actions to enhance life in our city.”
