This past week, TerraGo joined Smart Cities Connect to host a brand new informative webinar: “Avoiding Smart Street Lighting Pitfalls”. It’s well-known and agreed upon that smart street lighting programs are delivering massive energy savings and laying the foundation for a vast array of smart city applications, but there are several key challenges that threaten success, introduce delays, decrease benefits, and increase costs.

TerraGo is pleased to introduce another member of our Smart Cities & Utilities team, John Mueller! John joined TerraGo as a Senior Project Manager on our Smart Cities & Utilities team.

A crew puts the wrong fixture on the wrong pole. A networked light fails commissioning, so it doesn’t work. A day crew answers a 311 call but can’t figure out which light is out. There are thousands of reasons for re-rolling trucks. They’re costing you dearly. And you don’t need to live with it anymore.

Jamaica Public Service Company Limited (JPS) is an integrated electric utility company and the sole distributor of electricity in Jamaica. Undertaking one of the largest projects of its kind in the region, JPS made a plan to convert the island’s 105,000 legacy high pressure sodium streetlights into smart, energy-efficient LED streetlights.
