SAN DIEGO—San Diego is the world's first city to partner with GE Lighting on a pilot of its Intelligent Cities platform—a software-defined lighting technology that will help San Diego solve some of the city's infrastructure challenges.

“San Diego has proven that smart infrastructure saves energy and taxpayer dollars,” said Mayor Kevin Faulconer, in a statement announcing the project. “We believe that the Intelligent Cities partnership will help us go further in creating truly intelligent infrastructure that helps us improve services to the public.”

Maryrose Sylvester, president and CEO of GE Lighting, said, “We're very proud to be collaborating with San Diego once again, connecting the city to the Industrial Internet. This is a transformational moment for GE, as we continue to build upon big data analytics to provide value and significant outcomes for our customers.”
