Flashnet marks 20 years of smart street lighting and smart city innovation

From vision to global impact  

What began as an idea born from passion and technical ingenuity – controlling individual streetlights to improve public lighting efficiency – has become a global standard in smart infrastructure. 

The company’s flagship solution, inteliLIGHT®, was among the first truly open and interoperable smart lighting systems, offering individual lamp control, real-time monitoring and adaptive lighting through open standards-based IoT communication technologies. 

“We started with nothing more than an idea and the courage to pursue it,” said Lorand Mozes, CEO and founder of Flashnet. “Two decades later, that idea connects cities on every continent. What makes us proud isn’t just the technology we built, it’s our team and the impact we’ve made.” 

With a team of dedicated hardware and software engineers, the company continues to design and manufacture solutions in Romania that meet the world’s most demanding smart city standards. This commitment to innovation and quality has positioned Flashnet as one of the leading players in the global smart street lighting market (according to Northeast Group). 

Since 2022, Flashnet has been part of the Lucy Group, a UK-based international organization with over 100 years of expertise in electrical engineering and smart infrastructure. 

 

Empowering the smart cities of tomorrow 

Across cities such as Brussels, Washington D.C., Athens, Reykjavík and Riyadh, Flashnet’s inteliLIGHT platform has become a foundation for smarter, more connected cities. By turning ordinary streetlights into connected, intelligent assets, cities can save energy, reduce CO₂ emissions and enhance public safety while laying the groundwork for broader smart infrastructure. 

Beyond measurable savings, inteliLIGHT helps municipalities respond faster to outages, optimize maintenance, and minimize light pollution, delivering tangible benefits that citizens can see and feel every day. Each connected pole becomes a node in a living urban network, ready to host EV chargers, air-quality sensors, or mobility applications as cities evolve. 

As part of the Lucy Group, Flashnet shares a common vision where innovation and responsibility go hand in hand, shaping not only how the company operates, but also the products and services it delivers. The company’s technological advancements promote smarter resource management, a cleaner environment and a higher quality of life, enabling communities around the world to interact more sustainably with their ecosystems. 

At the heart of all the success lies a commitment to openness and collaboration. Built on global interoperability standards like TALQ, Flashnet’s technology allows cities to integrate multiple systems and vendors seamlessly, avoiding lock-in and ensuring long-term flexibility. 

Because building smarter cities isn’t just about adding technology, it’s about creating infrastructure that learns, adapts and grows alongside the people it serves.
