London connects another 28,000 street lights to wireless mesh controls

London is connecting another 28,000 LED street lights to wireless mesh controls based on Internet protocols, using a system provided by Silver Spring Networks. Silver Spring said London's financial district, known as the City of London, as well as the Borough of Barking and Dagenham in the city's northeast, will now control street lights remotely using the company's Starfish mesh network. The City of Westminster, another London borough, has already been using Starfish.
