UK firm signs deal with Nigerian state to deploy 50,000 smart lampposts.
Conflow Power Group will deploy 50,000 solar-powered iLamp data centres in Nigeria's Katsina state.
KEY POINTS
- Each iLamp contains a 15-watt NVIDIA-powered AI chip and can function as an AI surveillance camera.
- Removed iLamp chips are designed to be 'fried' to deter theft and prevent hardware reuse.
- Katsina will monetize iLamps by leasing processing capacity to AI firms, sharing revenue with CPG after three years.
- An iLamp assembly factory is being constructed in Katsina, with manufacturing also in Morocco, Taiwan, and Latvia.
