Program and App Store
SAVANNAH, Ga. -- (Business Wire)
Today at the IES Street & Area Lighting Conference, North America’s
largest conference for the outdoor lighting businesses of electric
utilities and energy service providers, Silver Spring Networks, Inc.
(NYSE:SSNI) announced Streetlight.Vision 6 (SLV6), its new street light
and smart city control and management platform. With more than 100 new
features, SLV6 provides cities, utilities, and energy services companies
with a comprehensive platform to support their smart city needs and
create more value from their existing street light networks. SLV6 is
commercially available today.
Today, Silver Spring also opened early access to its smart city
developer program and App Store, which allows software developers and
device manufacturers to build new smart city applications and devices
for the SLV6 platform, accelerating innovation for customers and
providing partners with new routes to market and revenue opportunities.
“In partnership with Silver Spring, Florida Power & Light (FPL)
has initiated what is believed to be the largest networked street lights
project in the world — nearly 500,000 lights across FPL’s Florida
service territory,” said Eric Silagy, president and CEO of Florida Power
& Light. “Establishing a smart street light network will continue the
advancement of our smart grid and deliver benefits to our customers,
including more reliable and efficient service. We welcome the
enhancements of SLV6 to help us achieve these benefits for our
customers.”
“As an international smart city solution partner with presence in 20
countries, Bouygues Energies & Services has decided to include the new
SLV6 city control and management platform in our Citybox solutions for
our global public lighting, cities, and energy customer base,” said
Christophe Grattarola, Director of the Smart City Market at Bouygues
Energies & Services. “Cities around the world are leveraging
technologies to help them conserve energy, improve economic
competitiveness, and deliver better services to citizens. We are happy
to partner with Streetlight.Vision and Silver Spring Networks to bring
our customers the advanced solution.”
SLV6:Advanced Smart City Platform Includes More Than 100 New
Features
Silver Spring delivers SLV control software for smart city and smart
lighting networks in more than 500 cities in 16 countries. As public
lighting can consume as much as 40% of a municipality’s energy budget,
cities across the globe are looking to remotely manage their lighting
networks to lower energy consumption, improve lighting reliability and
public safety, and establish a smart city platform upon which future
applications can be deployed.
With the introduction of SLV6, customers will be able to benefit from
more than 100 new features, including:
- Expanded Smart City Device Support: A broad set of smart city
device support, including integration with more than 50 light point
control system vendors and an expanded range of smart city devices
such as electrical vehicle charging stations, traffic cameras, parking
kiosks, environmental sensors, solar panels, electric, water and gas
meters, and more.
- Asset and Inventory Management: Improved asset management to
create, import, export, and modify a wide array of devices, develop
custom inventory attributes, and run analytics and reports.
- Work Order Management: Automated device monitoring and data
analytics of attributes, advanced alarm mechanisms, report-based and
map-based failures detection, creating improved cross-departmental
coordination on maintenance activities, and helping to increase
customer/citizen satisfaction, reduce the number of onsite operations,
and deliver cost-savings on maintenance budgets.
- Advanced Analytics: Data analytics to identify and anticipate
possible faults on the grid and to reduce call-center load by
leveraging crowd-sourced information on device failures and other
issues in the field.
- New User Interface: User-friendly interface including
user-configurable web desktop, easy-to-deploy Apps and Widgets from
the new SLV App Store, and an optimized experience on mobile devices
such as tablets for simple and convenient use in the field.
- Simplified Integration with Existing Business Processes: The
SLV6 extended North Bound Web Service API allows Work Order Management
system tickets to be created from the data collected and analysed by
SLV6, and also enables easy interface with Billing and Geographical
Information Systems.
- Near Limitless Extensibility: Ability to leverage the SLV6
platform to help drive new business models and grow revenue. For
example, cities can add cameras to their existing street light network
to deliver traffic data to third-party devices and applications,
unlocking new services for citizens.
“Cities and utilities are looking to not only more effectively manage
their street lights but to also leverage their lighting networks to
connect a wide range of additional smart city devices,” said Christophe
Orceau, Director for Streetlight.Vision, Silver Spring Networks. “With
more than 100 new features, SLV6 pushes the capabilities of smart city
control platforms to the next level. It continues its heritage of
multi-network support, and now adds the option for third-party
developers, customers, and integrators to add new functionality on the
platform via the SLV App Store, providing network operators choice and
flexibility as their needs evolve.”
Early Access to SLV6 Smart City Developer Program and App Store is

Silver Spring also announced early access to the SLV6 developer program
and App Store. The SLV6 App Store will include new applications from
Silver Spring and third-party application developers and device
manufacturers leveraging the SLV6 open data platform, the SLV6 Software
Developer Kit (SDK), and RESTful APIs to drive development of innovative
smart city solutions:
- The SLV App Store and SLV6 SDK provides software developers
with the ability to easily build applications and widgets that plug
into the core SLV6 management software and can be downloaded and
displayed on the SLV6 secured Web Desktop. The new applications will
be available and easily deployable via the SLV6 App Store, creating
even more value and choice for customers.
- The SLV6 South Bound Web Services API provides device
manufacturers with streamlined integration to SLV6 and provides a
