GRIDSMART deployed SMARTMOUNT2025, the industry’s first fiber optic solution. As opposed to the traditional copper wire in CAT5e cable, fiber optic cables are made of glass, creating a stronger, faster signal that is impenetrable by EMI. SMARTMOUNT2025 allows for a greater range than traditional Power over Ethernet (PoE) methods, offering more than 2,000 feet of cable without the need for a repeater.

The study revealed that across three intersections the GRIDSMART Adaptive System saved 51,964 vehicle commuter hours over the course of a year and helped reduce red light running by up to 68% by delivering commuters with well-organized and efficient commutes.

To solve its traffic problem, Athens, Georgia deployed the GRIDSMART System, the world’s first field-tested, single-sensor solution for intersection actuation, performance monitoring, and data collection.
