Castle Breckenridge Association Management Podcast

Our world is rapidly growing technologically as an estimated 50 billion devices will be connected by the "Internet of Things" by the year 2020. Guests Kimberly Weiss and Dionne Petitpas from Three Phase Electric present the latest advancements in network connected "smart" street lights. These new street lights, combined with powerful software and scalable add-on options, turn communities into Smart Communities. The common task of converting street lights into LED street lights presents an opportunity to consider installing a smart street light that not only allows for customizable power use reduction, but also sets the foundation upon which a plethora of smart connected sensors and tools can be added. These may included gun shot sensors that can alert the police, traffic sensors to automate light dimming, and community amenities such as WiFi hot spots or notification speaker systems.
