A Simple Way to Deploy
Smart City Infrastructure
Our suite of streetlight-mounted technologies unlocks the potential of your existing infrastructure to improve public safety and connectivity.
Real-time alerts, controls, and analytics allow cities to operate and maintain their lighting network more efficiently. Intelligent scheduling and dimming reduces energy use, cuts carbon emissions, improves public safety, and can protect dark skies. Visibility into light status pinpoints the location and source of outages to minimize truck rolls. Greater control over load assets improves grid resiliency.
Cities that deploy LEDs with Ubicquia’s intelligent lighting controllers see a return on investment in as soon as two and half years. Cost efficiencies come from operations and maintenance efficiencies, including reduced truck rolls, reduced energy costs, extended fixture life, and reduced liability.
Ubicquia’s UbiCell and the embedded controls in the UbiHub are built to utility-grade standards. This includes the ability to monitor power quality, protect against surges, and offer last gasp notices on downed poles. These features allow cities and utilities to diagnose issues remotely, reduce truck rolls, improve lighting reliability, and minimize light pollution.
We’ve worked on some of the largest projects in the US and have seen almost every lighting issue you can imagine and have experience dealing with it.
Ubicquia partners with leading camera, License Plate Recognition, and Real-Time Crime Center technology providers. Partners include Motorola Avigilon, Axis Communications, Flock Safety, Fusus, Genetec, and more.
Streetlight-mounted cameras can accelerate the permitting process, have a smaller visual footprint, and are up to 70% more cost effective to deploy than cabinet-based camera solutions.
We have been involved in hundreds of lighting tenders and have compiled a list of the specifications that we see most often and that we believe are the most important for a city or utility. We looked at everything from security to power monitoring, deployment options, and project experience. For more details, check out our Lighting Control RFP Guide.
Ubicquia is deployed in over 800 cities across North America, including 6 of the 15 largest cities in the US and owns an 80% market share of LTE controls.

Smart
Aggregate data from across a network of streetlights to understand traffic patterns, identify safety hazards, and aid in criminal investigations.
Simple
Achieve more with a single platform and fewer truck rolls to improve efficiency and reduce the cost of deploying smart technology.
Scalable
Easily add new features and functions on the same, streamlined multi-use platform that is designed to grow as urban needs evolve.
Our solutions transform and expand the functionality of streetlights to:
- Maintain lighting levels for driver and pedestrian safety
- Reduce energy costs and truck rolls
- Monitor traffic, noise, and air quality
- Integrate video and data with public safety departments
- Simplify maintenance
- Protect dark skies and wildlife
Deploys in Seconds,
Actionable Data in Minutes
By 2025, cities will deploy over 2 billion devices in urban areas to help with public safety, connectivity, and environmental concerns. Streetlights are the answer to some of today’s biggest challenges in smart city technology deployments, offering a convenient, ubiquitous location for devices, an easy way to manage them, cost-effective deployment, and a strong return on investment.
Ubicquia accelerates smart city technology projects and helps cities save up to 50% on the total cost of ownership.
The business case for switching from traditional streetlights to LEDs is undeniable. On their own, LEDs can cut municipal electricity consumption by as much as 50%. To realize the full potential of your LED investment, you need to connect your streetlights in a smart, integrated system.
See how a Smart Lighting Control platform can increase your energy savings, lower greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and reduce your street lighting TCO with this calculator.
LED streetlights are a popular choice for cities that want to improve energy efficiency and light quality. But LED streetlights need to be equipped with a smart controller in order to maintain proper illumination levels throughout their life.
When installed with an LED streetlight, the UbiCell smart lighting controller delivers an additional 30% in energy savings and 50% lower maintenance costs through...
- Superior asset management
- Advanced scheduling and dimming capabilities
- Utility-grade energy metering
- Tilt/vibration sensing, voltage detection
- GPS to locate issues
Light is fundamental to driver and pedestrian safety. Ubicquia’s UbiCell and UbiHub are smart lighting controllers that improve the reliability of lighting and extend the life of fixtures.
UbiHub AP/AI also supports situational awarenss and LPR (License Plate Recognition) camera add-ons. These live and on-demand videos can offer traffic and pedestrian analytics for city planning, act as a crime deterrent, and aid in law enforcement investigations.
Poor air quality is a major threat to public health. Cities need accurate, real-time, high-resolution data on air quality to maintain the well-being of their community. The UbiSmart AQM+ is a small air quality sensor that records, analyzes and communicates precise local air quality and environmental data, including noise levels.
UbiSmart AQM+ helps cities reduce environmental risks and protect their citizens by providing access to clean air.
Real-time insights are accessible via UbiVu, Ubicquia’s AI and analytics platform that provides a bird’s eye view of your city’s streetlight network with the ability to schedule lighting, monitor and manage energy usage, receive outage alerts, schedule predictive maintenance, and more.
Ubicquia is helping over 800 cities become smarter, safer, and more connected. Our technology is designed to support public safety and quality of life improvements while controlling costs and optimizing your existing infrastructure.
We are compatible with more than 360 million streetlights and 500 million utility poles worldwide. Together, we can create a safer and more efficient future for all.
