Flashnet obtains RED Certification for its smart street lighting solutions
We’re proud to announce that Flashnet has obtained RED (Radio Equipment Directive) certification for its smart street lighting controllers, reaffirming our commitment to regulatory compliance across the European market.
This certification ensures that all radio-enabled products comply with European Union regulations regarding safety, electromagnetic compatibility, and efficient use of the radio spectrum. It guarantees the seamless and safe operation of our wireless communication solutions.
What is the RED Certification?
The Radio Equipment Directive (2014/53/EU) is a European Union regulation that sets out essential requirements for any equipment that uses the radio frequency spectrum. This includes smart city technologies like the inteliLIGHT controllers, which communicate wirelessly through LoRaWAN™, NB-IoT, LTE-M or GSM.
This certification ensures that Flashnet devices:
- Use the radio spectrum efficiently, without causing harmful interference
- Meet strict safety and health standards for users and installers
- Are electromagnetically compatible with other devices and systems
- Can be legally deployed throughout the EU and other RED-recognising markets
What this means for Flashnet’s customers and partners
For municipalities, integrators and utilities, RED certification offers several immediate benefits:
Legal Compliance Across Europe
With RED certification, our smart street lighting devices are fully compliant with EU legislation, simplifying procurement, deployment and long-term infrastructure planning.
Trusted Quality and Safety
RED certification validates our engineering and manufacturing processes, ensuring that every device meets the highest standards of safety, performance, and interoperability.
Smoother Deployments
Cities and integrators working with certified equipment can avoid delays due to regulatory audits or approvals. With RED-compliant controllers, projects can move forward with confidence and speed.
Future-Ready Technology
Our RED-certified devices are built for the future. Designed with multiple communication protocols and smart features, they can easily scale with evolving city needs.
Reinforcing Our Vision for Smarter Cities
For us, RED certification it’s a reflection of the trust cities and partners place in our solutions. It gives our customers the certainty that they’re investing in smart street lighting technology that’s not only future-ready, but also safe, legal and built to last.
