Case study Bristol (UK)
A sustainable lighting makeover In the vibrant heart of Bristol, one of the UK’s most dynamic cities, a monumental £12 million lighting upgrade is underway. Bristol City Council, responding to its declaration of a climate emergency in 2018, is leading this initiative to replace around 29,000 street lights with energy-efficient LED fixtures. Notably, this project includes the integration of Schréder EXEDRA CMS, marking a significant leap towards sustainability and energy savings. Building on safe infrastructure In the UK, public and street lighting is an integral part of critical infrastructure , and the Bristol upgrade project is no exception. Schréder EXEDRA is a key component of this transformation, prioritising safety by design at all levels of the system and reinforcing Bristol’s bright future. A trusted partner for cybersecurity In June 2023, Bristol faced a critical cybersecurity challenge when a vulnerability was discovered in the MOVEit app - a system integral to the city’s operations. With Schréder EXEDRA at the helm, Bristol was quickly reassured that its data would not be compromised . This responsiveness underlines the enduring partnership that distinguishes Schréder and protects Bristol’s digital landscape. ISO certification for an open yet secure platform Schréder’s commitment to cybersecurity is further demonstrated by the ISO 27001 certification for its EXEDRA platform. This certification is not just a badge of honour, but a commitment to continually improve its cybersecurity processes and keep its staff up to date with the latest best practices in the field, instilling confidence in Bristol’s digital infrastructure. A learning journey With over 600,000 lights and assets under its control worldwide, Schréder EXEDRA is on a constant learning and adaptation journey. Bristol’s transformation is part of this collective journey, and the lessons learned from each data point benefit not only Bristol, but the wider community of cities managed by Schréder EXEDRA. In the radiant metamorphosis of Bristol’s urban landscape, Schréder EXEDRA shines as a trusted partner , not only illuminating the streets, but also ensuring a resilient, sustainable future for the city and beyond.
