September 15, 2026: Building a Better Connected City

Tuesday, September 15 | 2:00 PM ET

Join SmartWAVE Technologies and Juganu for an engaging conversation about how smart street lighting can become the foundation for a more connected, intelligent, and resilient city. We’ll explore how municipalities can transform existing streetlight infrastructure into a multi-functional smart city platform, combining intelligent lighting with wireless connectivity, public safety, IoT, environmental monitoring, and other connected applications. Together, SmartWAVE and Juganu will discuss how cities can leverage this infrastructure to expand connectivity, improve public safety, enhance community services, and create a scalable foundation for future smart city initiatives.
