Customer Challenge

As Oman’s largest seaport and free zone, Sohar plays an important role in bridging the economics between Europe and Asia. Still growing, in the near future, all eyes will be on it as it focuses on sustainability, safety and an ideal hub for intercontinental trade and commerce. With the help from Tvilight and its partner Mustafa Sultan Enterprises, Sohar wished to become the first modern, safe and sustainable seaport in the Middle East with a light-on-demand smart street lighting system.

Intelligent Street Lighting at Seaport

”The Assets Management Department has explored the recent development in the field of innovative technologies. The roads within the Port and Freezone area are not frequently used during the night, resulting in energy loss from the illuminated lights overnight. This is why we have identified a solution for real-time control of street lights within the respective areas.
