When technology meets real-world urban challenges, the results can be transformative. The smart street lighting solution deployed in Dhaka, Bangladesh, offers a compelling example—showing how the right infrastructure upgrade can turn a city’s energy burden into a model of efficiency.

According to local researchers, Bangladesh faced significant revenue losses due to energy waste from outdated street lighting. During evening peak hours—typically 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM—the power grid struggled to balance residential demand with public lighting, creating persistent strain on the system.

IOTCOMM developed a practical and effective PLC-based smart street lighting solution. Using power line communication (PLC) technology, we completed large-scale upgrade projects with more than 40,000 pieces LCU for street lights and 1700 pieces DCU for light distribution cabinet for Dhaka in recent years. The goal: build a smarter, more responsive lighting network that operates within existing grid limits.
