Gama Sonic’s solar lighting solutions help create a safer, brighter and more sustainable Peachtree Corners
Peachtree Corners, one of the nation’s first smart cities powered by real-world connected infrastructure and 5G, and its innovative Curiosity Lab, recently announced a collaboration with Gama Sonic, a global leader in solar lighting solutions for homes, businesses and outdoor spaces.
The collaboration will bring Gama Sonic’s upscale, durable lights to key area’s throughout the city, marking the company’s first deployment implementing customized, intelligent lighting programming timers that will enhance safety for residents and visitors alike.
The technology
Gama Sonic’s advanced solar-powered lighting solutions bring the ability to quickly deploy additional lighting throughout the city without the extensive process required with traditional hard-wired lighting installations, while also supporting municipalities’ sustainability initiatives.
This solution uses integrated solar panels within the light fixtures themselves for an aesthetically pleasing look that stores solar energy for consistent performance on cloudy days — eliminating one of the key challenges often associated with solar lighting systems.
Peace of mind
Gama Sonic’s lighting solutions have already been deployed along the trail head of the city’s walking trail system, where the lights are programmed to shine brighter during the early morning and late evening hours.
“The peace of mind that well-lit public areas bring to our community is invaluable,” said Peachtree Corners City Manager Brian Johnson. “By installing Gama Sonic’s solar lighting solutions, we’ve been able to improve resident and visitor safety without facing the usual challenges of disruptive construction or extended project timelines, which can be costly, that can come with other types of lighting.”
“Gama Sonic’s innovative approach ensures that residents utilizing the trails during early morning or late hours enjoy higher visibility, providing an enhanced user experience,” Johnson continued. “We are looking forward to seeing our residents enjoy these lighting solutions at the trail head.”
A forward-thinking collaboration
Gama Sonic’s technology represents a forward-thinking collaboration that underscores the city’s commitment to integrating cutting-edge technology to enhance the quality of life for Peachtree Corners residents. The deployment also serves as a model for other municipalities looking to combine sustainable solutions with public safety in areas like schools, parks, public squares, recreational areas and a wide array of other public spaces.
“Peachtree Corners was our ideal choice for this collaboration because of its visionary approach to creating a truly smart city that leverages innovative technologies to improve the lives of its residents,” said Gama Sonic General Manager Itay Parness. “The city itself is the perfect environment to demonstrate how our solar-powered lighting solutions can seamlessly integrate into urban spaces and enhance both safety and sustainability. This collaboration showcases the potential of our technology to not only meet the needs of today’s cities but to push the boundaries of what’s possible in public lighting.”
