Flashnet joins Netmore partner program to push smart street lighting

Flashnet has joined Netmore Group’s Pulse Partner Program in a global partnership aimed at accelerating smart street lighting deployments for cities and utilities. The deal pairs Flashnet’s inteliLIGHT platform with Netmore’s carrier-grade LoRaWAN connectivity to cut energy use, improve maintenance and support broader smart city projects.

Why it matters: - Smart street lighting is becoming a common entry point for smart city upgrades. - The partnership is designed to help cities and utilities modernize lighting faster while reducing deployment risk. - The companies say the combination can lower energy consumption, improve public safety and support broader urban digital infrastructure.

What happened: - Netmore Group said on September 1, 2026, that Flashnet, a Lucy Group company, has joined Netmore’s Pulse Partner Program. - The partnership combines carrier-grade LoRaWAN connectivity with Flashnet’s smart street lighting technology. - The companies will jointly pursue go-to-market work focused on customer education, regional business development and migration support. - Flashnet’s CCO, Alexandru Buzatu, said the partnership gives Flashnet access to one of the world’s most extensive carrier-grade LoRaWAN networks.

The details: - As a Pulse Program member, Flashnet gains technical enablement services, partner management and operations support, and co-marketing programs. - Netmore and Flashnet plan to support cities, utilities and solution providers that want to modernize existing street lighting infrastructure. - Flashnet introduced the world’s first LoRaWAN street lighting controller in 2015. - The inteliLIGHT platform manages more than 1.5 million connected streetlights worldwide. - The platform is deployed in more than 150 cities across more than 60 countries on six continents. - inteliLIGHT provides lamp-level control, real-time monitoring, adaptive lighting, predictive maintenance and advanced analytics. - Landmark deployments include Washington D.C., Brussels, Jeddah, Athens and Reykjavik. - Netmore operates in 18 countries and is backed by Nordic infrastructure investor Polar Structure. - Flashnet was founded in 2005 and says it integrates IT, energy and telecommunications technologies into hardware and software for smarter cities and infrastructure.

Between the lines: - The partnership fits a broader shift toward open, interoperable smart city systems rather than closed vendor stacks. - Netmore is using the Pulse Partner Program to expand an ecosystem around standards-based IoT over carrier-grade LoRaWAN networks. - For municipalities, that model could simplify procurement and make future upgrades easier. - Flashnet’s scale and installed base give Netmore a proven lighting platform to anchor more city infrastructure projects.

What’s next: - Netmore and Flashnet will roll out joint customer education and regional business development efforts. - The companies will also focus on migration support for existing street lighting systems. - The partnership is positioned as a base for broader smart city applications beyond lighting. - Flashnet and Netmore expect municipalities to use the lighting layer as a foundation for future digital services.

The bottom line: - The deal is a bet that smart street lighting can be the first, scalable step in wider smart city transformation.
