Three pages of breathless buzzwords and not a single word as to exactly WHAT an individual “intelligent LED” is, does, or how it works.
Article is nothing but a reprinted GE press release. Same article exists word for word on a number of other web sites, being presented as “news”.
I googled “intelligent LED” and pretty much turned up nothing actually explanatory, but did find a number of copies of the GE press release
STREET SPIES: New downtown light system capable of more than illumination
Reported by: Gerard Ramalho
Illuminating concepts, the company who designed Intellistreets, say the processors store and analyze data, soundtracks, announcements, commercials and even video files.
According to its own marketing video, the lights they manufacture are adaptable and capable of adding cameras for surveillance and security and even recording devices.
Yes, the same streetlights now being tested in Las Vegas could someday be set up to record conversations from everyday passersby.
“Right now our intention is not to have any cameras or recording devices…it’s just to provide output out there, not to get any feed or video feed coming back,” said Las Vegas public works director, Jorge Servantes.
But, those assurances aren’t enough for some, especially since the company’s own website touts security benefits, including how the lights can be used to assist homeland security in protecting citizens.
Lee would like to know: who is protecting our rights?
“At what point do we say this is the land of the free,” Lee said.
I used a different search engine other than Google.
I came up with one company at this website.
