PennSMART brings IoT lighting systems and streetscapes to smart cities, municipalities, and campuses

When your light pole can scare away an intruder, capture video of a perpetrator, measure snowfall to trigger the arrival of snowplows, and support a range of other desirable functions, you can assume it came from PennSMART.

PennSMART, the IoT light division of Penn Globe, specializes in innovative solutions for smart cities and connected campuses.

With integrated intelligence discreetly embedded inside the framework of the light pole, PennSMART IoT Lighting retains the integrity of aesthetically pleasing architectural design for which Penn Globe (The Pennsylvania Globe Gaslight Company) is known. Since 1877 the company has pioneered lighting solutions starting with gaslights in Baltimore and colonial New England. Since then Penn Globe has installed lighting for fantasy parks at Disney World to the ivy leagues of Princeton, Harvard and Brown, plus numerous municipal locations.

With dynamic surveillance cameras and full sensor arrays, PennSMART's next-generation Smart IoT lighting now takes streetscapes and pedestrian walkways to new levels of safety:

- Discreet security surveillance "under the trees" where vision is not obstructed
- LED-driven and available for new installation or retrofit
- 360 degree motion sensor video cameras to trigger programmable bright lights
- Police/Security notification in real-time (within 3 seconds)
- Gunshot sensor notifications
- Facial mapping (beyond recognition) using GPUs
- Glass break sensors
- Precipitation sensors (to measure snowfall and notify snowplow crews)
- Emergency blue lights
- Data collection (e.g. license plate readers, traffic flow and patterns)
- Digital signage (amber alerts, evacuation notices, community and entertainment events)

Energy Efficiency
Penn Globe was among the first municipal lighting suppliers that saw sustainable energy not just as the next big business opportunity, but also as the right thing to do through retrofits and LEEDS-certified new installations.

Lights can be programmed to run at dimmed level during peak consumption times, and instantly flood the area with light (in a range of colors and strobes) when triggered by one of numerous sensors.

PennSMART's IoT lighting solutions provide communities with the ability to discreetly monitor, detect and analyze all activity taking place in the vulnerable areas under the trees, providing increased security where people live, work and play.
