He noted Dr. Martin's expertise in this dual-sided security approach as a key asset for Iluminar's clients.
"Reliable power, lighting, and surveillance are the foundation of critical infrastructure security, which is why I'm excited to work with Iluminar and their customers," stated Dr. Martin. "They provide the resilient infrastructure that critical sites depend on, and my role is to help customers integrate it into a broader security strategy."
