Philips and Cisco have closed a global strategic alliance that will create new value in energy savings, building efficiency and employee productivity, made possible by the Internet of Things (IoT) in modern offices. This alliance brings together Philips’ LED-based connected lighting system with Cisco’s IT network to address a global office market estimated to be worth EUR 1 billion*.
Edwin Paalvast, SVP EMEAR, Cisco and executive sponsor of the Cisco – Philips Alliance, said: “The world is becoming digital, and by working with Philips, we can help building owners more quickly digitise their lighting networks to drive better user experiences and efficiency. By partnering with Philips, we are delivering a reliable Power over Ethernet (PoE)-powered LED lighting solution using a highly secure IT network.”
“The possibilities of this connected lighting system are endless,” said Richard Lees, Senior Project Manager at CBRE, a commercial real estate and investment services firm with a presence in 15 countries and territories in Asia Pacific. “There are so many capabilities of this system that we haven’t even explored yet.”

Light points in the Philips system, equipped with sensors and software applications can be connected using Cisco technologies. This lighting network creates a pathway for information and helps enable new services. Philips and Cisco will also collaborate on a joint go-to-market strategy.
Bill Bien, SVP, Head of Strategy and Marketing, at Philips Lighting, said: “Our alliance has two of the world’s biggest and trusted lighting and connectivity brands working together to bring the IoT to life in offices and commercial buildings across the world.

"Customers will receive the best energy-efficient lighting experience in the connected world and be able to use information acquired from their connected lighting system to save energy, reduce costs, improve productivity and optimise their workspace environment. Lighting that is connected to highly secure, reliable IT infrastructure will form the backbone of the smart office of the future.”
Lighting is a logical first step to bringing IoT to enterprises worldwide. Equipped with sensors, connected lighting can provide information on space utilisation to help reduce costs, for example. Nearly 80% in energy savings and reduced building maintenance costs can be realised by managing, integrating and controlling a Philips LED-connected lighting system through a network with Cisco, the companies said. Philips and Cisco aim to accelerate adoption of this technology in the market and deliver increased connectivity, comfort and efficiency in modern buildings.
