Viper Networks, Inc. announced that the company has entered into an agreement with the City of Palos Hills, Illinois to install the company's Apollo Smart Light poles throughout the city. As Viper Networks' first major project in the Greater Chicago area, the Company expects follow-up contracts to the initial first installation agreement for additional Smart City LED light poles; with the final installation numbers potentially reaching approximately 1,500 to 2,000 Smart LED Light poles throughout the southwest Greater Chicago suburban area by 2025. This agreement comes on the heels of the historic $1.2 trillion dollar Infrastructure Bill passed by the Biden Administration in 2021 and the more recent Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, which authorized $391 billion in spending on energy and climate change.

With these funds and grants now readily available, the City of Palos Hills is proactively addressing their current and future infrastructure needs. From adjusting street lighting to incorporating new sensing technologies and data analytics for smarter transportation to providing improved communication through free public Wi-Fi and enhanced security and traffic mitigation; all while reducing the environmental footprint and creating new revenue streams.
