We make existing street lighting intelligent.
ENVIOTECH turns existing streetlights into data-capable infrastructure. No replacement, no civil works, and no proprietary silos. For municipalities, utilities, and industrial parks across Germany.
Light is safety.
When municipalities switch off lighting because of rising electricity prices, they save in the wrong place. We make lighting efficient enough that no one has to choose between safety and budget.
Safety without compromise
Full brightness when people are out, dimmed when the street is empty. Demand-based instead of switched off across the board.
Existing stock instead of replacement
We use what's already in place. Every existing streetlight becomes the foundation for smart services, without costly new installations.
Open platform
Zhaga Book 18, DALI D4i, and cross-vendor sensing. You keep the freedom to decide differently tomorrow.
From idea to infrastructure.
A short path with a clear goal: cities gain time, energy, and data, without construction work.
Founded
Adrian Rhaese and Linh Pham found ENVIOTECH, convinced that smart cities must start with existing infrastructure.
First pilot projects
Municipalities across Germany test the retrofit module on existing streetlight networks.
EnvioTerminal
Our own platform for central control, live analytics, and zero-touch provisioning goes live.
Zhaga & DALI Alliance
Accepted as a member of the ZHAGA Consortium and the DALI Alliance. Consistent openness instead of proprietary silos.
Scaling up
Rollout across cities, utilities, and industrial parks. New sensing for air, traffic, and parking.
Four reasons that make the difference.
Because cities don't need new construction sites, they need reliable results.
Existing infrastructure
No replacement, no civil works. We build on the streetlight that's already there.
15-minute installation*
Clip on instead of rebuild. One module per fixture, mounted in under 15 minutes. (*Typical value per fixture.)
Up to 80% energy savings
Adaptive dimming and precise schedules noticeably cut consumption, every year.
Smart city ready
An open dashboard for other applications and smart city partners (e.g. traffic, parking, air, and environment), creating one central platform.
One terminal. Many services.
Every device becomes a node in the urban network, expandable step by step.
