Flashnet heads to Raleigh for Smart Cities Connect 2026
Smart cities have evolved from bold ambition to everyday reality. As communities shift their focus from experimental pilots to long-term impact, Flashnet is proud to announce its participation at the Smart Cities Connect Conference & Expo in Raleigh, North Carolina, this Spring 2026.
10-12 March, 2026
Raleigh, North Carolina
Raleigh Convention Center, Booth 615
Raleigh, a city often described as the intersection of tradition and transformation, sets the perfect stage for this year’s dialogue. The challenge for modern cities lies in creating a unified, responsive ecosystem that respects the past while building a resilient future.
We understand that true smart city success doesn’t come from piecemeal upgrades. It comes from a holistic approach. That is why we are showcasing our inteliLIGHT® solution in Raleigh: a comprehensive, hardware-agnostic ecosystem designed to streamline urban management from a single dashboard.
Showcasing inteliLIGHT: interoperable smart street lighting
Street lighting remains one of the most visible and operationally significant public services managed by municipalities. As cities pursue decarbonization goals, optimize maintenance operations and prepare for broader IoT integrations, lighting infrastructure often becomes the logical starting point for digital transformation.
Flashnet’s inteliLIGHT® solution addresses this evolution through:
- Interoperable architecture, based on open standards such as TALQ
- Flexible communication options, including NB-IoT, LTE-M and LoRaWAN
- Lamp-level and cabinet-level control, enabling tailored modernization strategies
- Real-time monitoring and predictive maintenance capabilities
- Infrastructure-agnostic deployment models, supporting gradual, scalable rollouts
- and much more…
Rather than positioning lighting as a standalone upgrade, inteliLIGHT enables it to function as a connected digital layer, capable of supporting future integrations such as environmental sensing, traffic systems or public safety applications.
Meet Flashnet at Booth 615
Our team is ready to demonstrate how interoperable smart street lighting drives sustainable urban transformation and supports your energy efficiency goals. Visit us at Booth 615. To ensure a dedicated time slot with our experts, please contact us at solutions@flashnet.ro to schedule a meeting.
