Telematics Wireless to Provide Networked Lighting Controls to Georgia Power

Austin, Texas – April 2019 – Telematics Wireless, a leader in smart city networks and control applications, today announced that Georgia Power, a Southern Company, has selected its T‑Light Galaxy platform to control and monitor part of more than 900,000 street and area lights across the state of Georgia. Under the initial agreement, the Telematics solution will provide network coverage to several counties and metro areas and will control approximately 50,000 lights.

Georgia Power selected the T‑Light Galaxy system, a highly robust wireless star network operating on FCC-licensed frequency bands, providing wide-area coverage with minimal infrastructure costs. According to Jessica Tolley, Georgia Power’s LED Roadway Manager: “The base station-to-Networked Lighting Controller (NLC) ratio with the T‑Galaxy system was very appealing and played a key role in Georgia Power’s decision to deploy Telematics NLCs.”

The T‑Light Galaxy system will remotely monitor and control street and area lighting and provide built-in revenue-grade metering for time-of-use billing. The system will deliver real-time data to Georgia Power, enabling proactive maintenance, outage management, and accurate billing. In addition, the system will help ensure lights operate as expected while reducing energy consumption, enhancing public safety, and improving customer satisfaction.
