Compatible with 360M streetlights and 500M utility poles worldwide, Ubicquia is dedicated to making crucial infrastructure easy to deploy and monitor. The company’s platforms help municipalities, utilities, and communication service providers control lighting costs; accelerate 5G deployments; extend public WiFi; deliver video security services; and protect against grid failures.

Network providers often do not see it as cost effective to place cell towers in lower income communities, resulting in imbalanced connectivity across populations.

Ubicquia’s Impact 

  • We walk past streetlights and utility poles every day. They are ubiquitous. They are spaced 50 meters apart, rise 8-10 meters high, offer a constant source of power and sit close to fiber. Ubicquia has found a way to use these often-overlooked assets to solve five big infrastructure challenges:
    1. Reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions by giving communities a better way to control their lighting and monitor their environment.
    2. Improving public safety by providing a simpler, more cost-effective way to deploy cameras and shot detectors.  
    3. Accelerating 5G and broadband deployments by providing a better way to deploy WiFi, small cells and microwave technology. 
    4. Strengthening grid resiliency and preventing wildfires by giving utilities a more reliable way to monitor millions of transformers.
    5. Giving communities the information they need to better allocate resources and improve quality of life. 
Alignment of Social 
and Business Mission 
    • Ubicquia has one clear purpose: To make communities smarter, safer and more connected. 
      • Smarter: Every platform it creates is designed to attach to existing streetlight and utility infrastructure and provide industry-changing information. 
      • Safer: It looks for safety concerns communities face—like air quality, wildfires, traffic accidents and rising crime rates—and invests in R&D to address them.
      • More Connected: It makes it easier to build and operate and extend the reach of broadband networks – whether it’s 4G and 5G networks, or WiFi.
