Buenos Aires: a cloud-based lighting management system

This compendium, prepared by the Division for Public Institutions and Digital Government (DPIDG) of the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA), aims to capture emerging trends in digital responses of UN Member States against the COVID-19 pandemic along with other digital government initiatives and provide a preliminary analysis of their main features. These cases are shared for exchange of information so that Member States can learn from each other and possibly create new partnerships.

In the city of Buenos Aires, local authorities installed a high-quality LED street lighting system supported by cloud-based lighting management software allowing the monitoring, switching, and dimming of each light point in the network as a result making the city safer and smarter.
