CityEdge Overview Beyond Lighting, Delivering City and Grid Intelligence
Transform street lighting into a secure platform that reduces energy and maintenance costs while enabling smarter city and grid operations at scale.
So Much More Than a Lighting Upgrade
LED conversion delivers significant energy savings. CityEdge goes further, using intelligent controls to reduce costs, improve reliability and optimise lighting performance. The same secure, connected infrastructure can expand over time to support environmental, mobility, public safety and grid intelligence applications, unlocking greater value from city infrastructure investments.
-
Maximise Energy Savings Use intelligent controls, adaptive scheduling and real-time insights to optimise lighting performance while reducing energy consumption and operating costs.
-
Improve Lighting Service Levels and Reduce Operational Costs Use remote monitoring, sensor-based control, automated fault detection and streamlined maintenance workflows to improve service while reducing operational costs.
-
Build a Foundation for Future Intelligence Create secure, connected infrastructure that can scale to support city, grid, environmental and public safety applications over time.
A Foundation for Smarter Infrastructure
Through open standards, utility-grade security, flexible communications and multi-vendor support, CityEdge enables municipalities to build on existing investments, integrate to wider city systems and expand capabilities over time. The scalable platform optimizes lighting today while enabling new applications that improve services, increase resilience and maximise the long-term value of public infrastructure.

An open innovation framework
Itron understands that no two cities are the same. We also do not believe that any one vendor can solve every challenge. Collaboration is a key ingredient for long-term success, not only between technology providers, but also between the cities that are learning how to best achieve their objectives.
The five key principles of our Open Framework approach ensure that your city can deploy solutions tailored to meet the specific challenges it faces today and those that will arise in the decades to come.
-
Adopt open standards
-
Embrace an open ecosystem mindset
-
Remove barriers to experimentation
-
Support architecture flexibility
