City of Cowansville Partners with Trilliant to Develop and Deploy Smart City Infrastructure

GRANBY, Quebec - July 20, 2020 - PRLog -- Trilliant, a global provider of revolutionary smart communications solutions for smart energy and smart cities, today announces a partnership with the city of Cowansville, QC. Together, Trilliant and Cowansville will showcase state of the art smart city technology utilizing Cowansville infrastructure and Trilliant's patented networking technologies.

Cowansville is located less than 30 kilometers from Trilliant's Granby design center in south-central Quebec. The proximity between Trilliant and Cowansville provides an ideal opportunity for both parties to demonstrate the benefits of smart city applications and see them in action. The partnership, a jointly funded project between Trilliant's engineering team and Cowansville, provides the city with the ability to test Trilliant's newest offerings and services that directly support citizens, while demonstrating Trilliant's technology in a living laboratory that promotes Quebec's leadership in smart cities. With the success demonstrated by Trilliant's award winning Experience Center (https://trilliant.com/trilliant-networks-honored-as-bronz...), Cowansville offers an opportunity to take the Trilliant experience to the next level by implementing real world solutions.

"The leadership of Cowansville has expressed their commitment to providing services that improve the lives of citizens, while remaining at the forefront of innovation," said David Kranzler, Senior Vice President, Networks for Trilliant. "We are excited to leverage our deep expertise in smart solutions to help our neighbors in Cowansville realize the benefits of smart street lighting through the deployment of a network that also supports a growing suite of Industrial IoT applications, making their smart city aspirations a reality."

Cowansville will first implement Trilliant's SecureMesh® neighborhood area network (NAN) technology, which provides reliability, bandwidth and the low latency that is necessary for advanced smart city applications. Once the network is established, smart street lights will be deployed by Cowansville. The benefits of connected street lights will be quickly apparent thanks to new functionality that allows for remote management, condition-based maintenance and energy savings that significantly contribute to sustainability efforts.

"We work hard to recognize and be responsive to the needs of our community, and understand the importance digitization has on sustainability," said Sylvain Perreault, Director of Infrastructure Services. "The implementation of smart street lighting improves public safety and offers added benefits to our citizens, while creating a variety of options for city maintenance."

By incorporating Trilliant's IIoT Platform including their SecureMesh NAN network, Cowansville is positioned to manage future demand for new smart city services. With Trilliant's platform, smart street lighting is only the beginning, as new applications such as smart parking, traffic management, environmental monitoring, and more can be easily integrated into the existing network.

Together, Trilliant and Cowansville will create a new environment for demonstrating cutting-edge technology and smart city applications.
