Silver Spring Networks to Extend Starfish™ Service to Additional Areas in London

Open Standards-Based Silver Spring Platform to Connect Approximately
28,000 Smart Street Lights in the City of London and Borough of Barking
and Dagenham, Through Go-To-Market Partnership With urbancontrol

LONDON & SAN JOSE, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Silver Spring Networks, Inc. (NYSE: SSNI) today announced that it will
deploy its Starfish™
platform-as-a-service (PaaS) across the City of London and the
London Borough of Barking and Dagenham. This adds to the previously
announced London deployment in the City of Westminster. Through urbancontrol,
the newest company within the DW Windsor Group, Silver Spring’s Starfish
is expected to connect approximately 12,000 smart street lights in the
City of London and 15,500 smart street lights in the Borough of Barking
and Dagenham. Starfish is based on Silver Spring’s proven, secure, and
reliable wireless network and data platform, built on the Wi-SUN^®
IoT mesh technology specification. Silver Spring is a founding member
and co-chair of the Wi-SUN Alliance^®, which drives the
interoperability for wireless solutions based on the IEEE 802.15.4g
standard¹.

“We are excited that our go-to-market strategy is gaining momentum
internationally, with our newest award in the UK, and we are honored to
expand our deployment in London,” said Ayse Ildeniz, Chief
Operating Officer, Silver Spring Networks. “Being selected by London
demonstrates that world-class cities rely on technology that is proven
to be secure, reliable, scalable and based on our open standards
technology – clear advantages that set Silver Spring’s apart from other
providers that don’t have experience connecting critical infrastructure.”

Silver Spring’s platform was selected to provide 100% coverage in the
dense urban setting of the City of London, including streets, lanes and
alleyways where cellular technology is unavailable, and star networks
could not reach. “The Square Mile” is a global financial hub and Central
Business District through which over 450,000 commuters pass through
daily. The smart street lights will help the City of London achieve its
energy savings goals and reduce operational costs, while also improving
service reliability and helping to lay a platform for future IoT
applications.

“The reliability, resilience and cyber security of the system were key
requirements for us. We thoroughly evaluated technology options which
were proven to connect critical devices at-scale, and guarantee highly
reliable coverage, regardless of where the device is connected in the
City,” said Giles Radford, Highways Manager, City of London
Corporation. “We look forward to working with urbancontrol
to deploy Silver Spring technology that will help drive smart city
services for the City of London.”

In East London, the Borough of Barking and Dagenham is aiming to drive
energy efficiency through remote dimming and brightening of the new
smart street lights. The program is a core aspect of the Borough’s goal
to become the Green Energy Capital of London, and an important aspect
within the selection was Silver Spring’s ability to deploy additional
IoT services in the future.

As announced in 2016, urbancontrol is one of Silver Spring
Networks’ highly-respected channel partners offering its standards-based
platform and solutions. The reseller agreement between urbancontrol
and Silver Spring Networks aims to help cities and other public lighting
operators in the UK deliver smart street lighting programs and establish
a foundation for future Internet of Things (IoT) applications and
services such as smart water, traffic signals, and environmental sensors.

“Silver Spring’s proven performance, reliability, system security and
smart city flexibility makes it the best networking choice for the
requirements for London boroughs both now and in the future,” said
Stuart Wilson, Director of urbancontrol. “We believe that our city
customers are setting an exemplary example for smart lighting and
broader IoT deployments in London and across the UK market.”

“Our partnership with urbancontrol to expand Silver Spring
multi-application technology across London demonstrates that cities are
looking to upgrade existing services, with a keen eye to future
opportunities for smart city and IoT initiatives,” said Brian
McGuigan, European Sales Director – Smart Cities, Silver Spring Networks.
“We’d encourage boroughs across London to collaborate on innovation,
enabled through open standards-based technology, so that the benefits
can spread across its communities.”

With more than 26.7 million enabled devices delivered on five
continents. Silver Spring Networks has also deployed its technology in
Bristol, Chicago, Copenhagen, Dubai, Glasgow, Kolkata, Melbourne, Mexico
City, Paris, San Francisco, Sao Paulo, Singapore, and Washington, D.C.
