Australia is entering a pivotal era in its infrastructure modernisation and connected streetlighting sits at the heart of this transformation.
As cities, utilities, and councils look for smarter, more sustainable ways to manage public lighting and energy use, Itron is proud to reaffirm our long-standing commitment to the Australian market with the rebranding of our Smart Cities solutions to CityEdge – a name that reflects our forward-thinking approach to urban intelligence.
Why CityEdge?
CityEdge represents more than just a new name – it is a signal of an evolution. The CityEdge Platform (formerly SLV or Streetlight.Vision) continues to provide the same reliable, scalable capabilities trusted globally for managing connected streetlights, but with a renewed emphasis on edge intelligence, open standards, and seamless integration with smart city applications.
The rebranding aligns with our vision to help cities unlock the full potential of connected infrastructure – not just lighting, but also sensors, electric vehicle charging, and environmental monitoring. As city councils and utilities plan for Net Zero and greater resilience, CityEdge Platform is designed to help them get there faster, smarter, and with more control.
A Stronger Local Presence Through Partnership
Alongside this global rebranding, we are excited to announce a new chapter in how we support the Australian market through our strategic partnership with Connected Light Solutions (CLS).
As an established and trusted channel partner, CLS will represent Itron’s CityEdge solutions across Australia and New Zealand, bringing local expertise, deep market knowledge, as well as its customer-first support. This relationship ensures city councils and utilities can access both global innovation as well as responsive, on-the-ground services tailored to local project needs.
What This Means for Cities and Utilities
For local city councils, utilities, and road authorities, this means more than just access to cutting-edge technology – it means confidence. With CLS as our local partner, there is an advantage of another point of contact for solutions, support, and strategic planning besides Itron. Together, Itron and CLS offer:
- Turnkey connected lighting solutions with proven ROI
- Open, interoperable platforms that avoid vendor lock-in
- Integration with smart city use cases, such as environmental sensors and dynamic dimming
- Proven scale and security, with more than 4 million connected streetlights deployed globally
Most importantly, it means city councils, utilities and road authorities across Australia can rely on a team that understands the regulatory, technical, and operational needs unique to the local market.
A Long-Term Commitment to Australia
Itron has a long history of supporting Australian councils and utilities with intelligent infrastructure solutions. With over four and a half million connected devices in Australia, Itron has been working closely with the Australian utilities for the last 25 years. The rebrand to CityEdge and our partnership with CLS signals a refreshed and ongoing investment in the region. Whether it is helping the city councils or the utilities in meeting the decarbonisation targets, improving public safety, or simply reducing operational costs, we are here to help solve challenges together for smarter, resilient cities.
We believe that the future of infrastructure is connected, resilient, and responsive – and with CityEdge, that future is here.
