The San Diego City Council last week approved a $30.2 million project that will retrofit 14,000 street lights to LED units, but the program also includes 3,200 surveillance camera and microphone units that were discreetly referred to as “sensor nodes.” The project has been described as the world’s largest smart city Internet of Things (IoT) sensor platform.
During presentations at the City’s Infrastructure Committee on June 29, as well as before the full City Council on July 17, city staff from the Environmental Services Department described the project as an “Intelligent Cities Outdoor Lighting Program” with the stated goal of supporting the City’s Climate Action Plan.

JACKSON, Miss. (WLBT) - A decade-old lease agreement means that the city of Jackson has had to keep on a firm that it previously sued for $450 million in damages related to its water billing system.
At its meeting Tuesday, the Jackson City Council approved extending a contract with Siemens Industry, Inc. to monitor and service the HVAC and security systems at the Mississippi Museum of Art.
Council President Aaron Banks was quick to point out that this contract is not related to a contract the city previously had with the firm to upgrade its water billing system.
