Peachtree Corners has announced a collaboration with Juganu. Juganu’s smart city lighting solutions will be deployed within the Curiosity Lab ecosystem and at City of Peachtree Corners Town Centre. This marks Juganu’s first full smart city lighting deployment in the United States.

Juganu’s lighting solution eliminates the need for multiple devices on one light pole, with multiple systems unified in a single fixture. Their smart city fixture includes energy-efficient and high-quality LED lighting, environmental sensors to monitor air quality, IoT framework for additional smart city applications and uses a security camera that features AI and edge computing for enhanced capabilities. In addition, each light fixture includes a wireless access point to provide free public Wi-Fi.

“Juganu’s smart lighting solution continues to add to our city’s goals of improving safety and quality of life for our residents while providing the efficiency of multiple smart city solutions in one sleek unit,” said Brian Johnson, the city manager at Peachtree Corners. “This adds another element of security and safety to our Town Centre with bright lighting and security cameras that can be accessed if an incident occurs. We are also excited to now be able to offer free public Wi-Fi across our Town Centre to allow for greater connectivity for our residents. Juganu’s solutions bring our city one step closer to being fully connected, and we are thrilled to be the company’s first full deployment in the U.S.”

There are currently 16 of Juganu’s lighting units deployed across the Tot Lot Playground in Peachtree Corners’ Town Centre, four units deployed across the Dog Park and six units deployed at the Curiosity Lab Innovation Centre. As the project expands, Juganu’s lighting solutions will be deployed across the Town Centre parking lots, storefronts, parking deck and the parking lot at Curiosity Lab’s Innovation Centre. The full deployment will include a total of 80 units deployed across the city.

“Peachtree Corners and Curiosity Lab was the perfect choice for Juganu to have our first full-scale deployment,” said Shayne Rose, Juganu VP North America, smart cities. “Between their bustling Town Center and of course their real-world smart city testing environment at Curiosity Lab, these are two unique locations that allow us to showcase and demonstrate how our smart city lighting solution brings additional elements of connectivity, safety, environmental monitoring and more to our customers. Curiosity Lab has been extremely supportive throughout the process, including leading the efforts with Georgia Power, to ensure all communities across Georgia have access to our systems, even if they lease their lighting infrastructure. We are excited to see how our solution continues to improve residents’ lives as the full project is deployed.”
