Silver Spring Networks Provides Country-Wide Smart Street Light Controls for Jamaica

Jamaica Public Service Company to Add Up To 110,000 Street Lights
Atop Silver Spring’s Multi-Application IPv6 Platform; Expands Existing
Advanced Metering Program

KINGSTON, Jamaica & SAN JOSE, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Silver Spring Networks, Inc. (NYSE: SSNI) today announced its first
international utility-led, country-wide smart street light control
program with Jamaica Public Service Company (JPS). JPS is an integrated
electric utility company and the sole distributor of electricity in
Jamaica serving over 600,000 customers. JPS will extend its existing
Silver Spring IPv6 platform to connect up to 110,000 smart LED street
lights in population centers around the island including Kingston,
Spanish Town, Negril, and Falmouth. Silver
Spring’s Streetlight.Vision Central Management System (CMS) will also be
deployed for JPS through a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model to control
and manage the networked street lights.

The smart street light controls provided by Silver Spring will help
drive additional energy efficiency, which is crucial for high-cost,
petroleum-based island energy grids like in Jamaica. Smart street light
controls can help increase citizen safety by alerting a utility to light
failures and allowing for quicker repair. Further, smart street light
controls can help increase safety and energy efficiency through adaptive
dimming and brightening capabilities based on pedestrian and vehicular
traffic. JPS’ three-year program to upgrade the lighting infrastructure
with new LED street lights and smart controls will begin this summer.

“At JPS, we are undertaking a major transformation that is redefining
lighting and energy service delivery by modernizing Jamaica’s
infrastructure, and we are pleased with how Silver Spring Networks’
technology is facilitating this change,” said Gary Barrow, Chief
Technology Officer, JPS. “We see Silver Spring as a crucial provider
for not only smart grid innovation but also as a platform for new smart
city applications, that will bring new and relevant applications quickly
to the cities of Jamaica.”

“We are excited by how rapidly JPS was able to realize the value of our
platform to connect multiple services,” said Don Reeves, CTO, Silver
Spring Networks. “We believe our success with JPS demonstrates how
effective our technology is in not only meeting a customer’s initial
deployment objective, but how we can set them up for success in the
future.”

Silver Spring works with some of the largest utilities in the United
States for networked street light deployments, including Florida Power &
Light Company for what is believed to be the largest connected street
lighting project in the world consisting of nearly 500,000 networked
street lights across Miami and South Florida, and with Oklahoma Gas &
Electric for up to 250,000 networked street lights across its service
territory. In addition, Silver Spring connects smart street lights in
other locations around the globe such as in Bristol, Copenhagen,
Halifax, Glasgow, London, Paris and in Providence, RI.

Multi-Application IPv6 Drives Value for Existing Advanced Metering
Program

Silver Spring has been working with JPS since 2016 to deploy its
multi-application IPv6 platform to connect approximately 20,000 advanced
metering infrastructure (AMI) devices across seven parishes on the
island. Additionally, Silver Spring today announced that it has been
selected by JPS to connect an additional approximately 30,000 AMI
devices for residential and commercial & industrial customers through
Silver Spring’s multi-application IPv6 platform. The program aims to
help improve customer experience, grid reliability and protection of
revenue.
