Smart street lighting in Africa

Connected lamp controllers that dim, report faults and cut energy use without changing the poles. Built for Africa, with AJEEVI AI, IoT and software.

The challenge in Africa

Lights burn on fixed schedules, energy is wasted, and failed lamps stay dark until someone complains.

Why it matters locally

Where grid supply is unreliable, solar powered and well monitored lighting makes streets safer at lower running cost.

Typical places: Lagos, Nairobi, Johannesburg, Cape Town, Kigali and Accra.

What AJEEVI delivers

Smart street lighting on the same AI, IoT and command center stack used across every AJEEVI solution.

01

How it works

  • Controllers on each pole or feeder switch and dim lamps by schedule, motion or ambient light
  • Every lamp reports power use, faults and burn hours
  • Fault alerts create work orders for crews with the exact pole location
  • Energy savings are measured per feeder and reported automatically
02

Measure the results

Track these after go-live:

  • Energy per lit kilometre
  • Time to repair a failed lamp
  • Share of lamps working
  • Maintenance visits per month

From street to decision

Every smart street lighting project follows the same connected chain.

Built for Africa

African cities are growing fast, often with patchy power and connectivity, limited maintenance budgets, and strong demand for solutions that are affordable, rugged and quick to roll out.

  • Solar and battery powered devices that keep working through grid outages
  • Low bandwidth designs with local buffering when connectivity drops
  • Compliance planning for laws such as POPIA in South Africa, the Kenya Data Protection Act and the Nigeria Data Protection Act
  • Phased rollouts that start small and grow as budgets allow
  • Mobile first citizen channels, including SMS and WhatsApp style reporting

Standards and regulations vary by country, city and project. AJEEVI works with your team to confirm which apply before design starts.
