ICTworks by Inveneo

While we at ICTworks focus on information and communication technologies to change the world, even I would agree that football has a larger impact on African adoption of ICT than any other activity - just vist any country during the World Cup and you'll see a nation fixed to TV, radio, and Internet to keep up with the action.

Making football history in Africa

And now Phillips has introduced what might be a revolution in African football - dedicated solar-powered LED floodlighting for football fields:

Using the very latest energy-efficient LED lighting technology, the system can illuminate areas up to 40x20m with bright white light. Advanced battery cells provide up to eight hours of floodlighting on a single solar charge – the equivalent of two or three full evening football matches or training sessions.

Better yet, we're not talking about some fragile immobile system - its fully mobile and highly sustainable, with a rugged design able to withstand the extreme rigors of life in some of the more challenging and remote terrains in the world - the football pitch in any African community!
