View MoreAs a representative of urban infrastructure upgrades, smart light poles have transcended traditional lighting functions, becoming a core carrier for building smart cities and the Internet of Things. Leveraging their natural distribution and convenient power supply within cities, they integrate various hardware and software functions, forming a multifunctional platform for urban information collection, transmission, dissemination, and management.
The smart light pole platform architecture is a layered, decoupled, and collaboratively operating system, ensuring efficient data flow and flexible functional expansion.
| Layers | Components/Technologies | Core Functions: |
| 1. Device Awareness Layer | Various sensors, surveillance cameras, environmental monitors, information display screens, charging modules, etc. | Data Acquisition and Execution: Directly senses the urban environment and operational status, and executes control commands. |
| 2. Network Communication Layer | 5G/4G/NB-IoT communication modules, LoRa, Wi-Fi hotspots, fiber optic networks, etc. | Data Transmission: Provides high-speed, reliable, and wide-coverage network connectivity to enable data uploading and command issuance. |
| 3. Data Aggregation Layer | Edge computing units, data gateways, cloud platform servers, data processing algorithms. | Data Processing and Storage: Cleans, analyzes, stores, and trains models on massive amounts of sensed data. |
| 4. System Application Layer | Urban management platforms, traffic dispatch systems, public safety systems, environmental monitoring applications, etc. | Function Implementation and Services: Based on the processed data, provides various smart applications and services to users. |
Through highly integrated hardware and software modules, smart light poles achieve "one pole, multiple uses," greatly improving the efficiency of urban resource utilization.
As a natural carrier for 5G network construction, 5G micro base stations can be installed, effectively compensating for coverage blind spots of macro base stations and achieving deep 5G signal coverage in urban areas. This is a key infrastructure for 5G network deployment.
Integrates high-definition cameras for real-time monitoring of roads and areas, used for traffic flow analysis, violation detection, and security prevention, enhancing urban public safety.
Equipped with LED displays, it can disseminate traffic information, weather warnings, commercial advertisements, government announcements, etc., and simultaneously broadcast emergency notifications or background music through a public address system.
Integrates environmental sensors (such as PM2.5, temperature, humidity, noise, wind speed, etc.) to collect urban environmental data in real time, assisting environmental protection departments in tracking pollution sources and issuing air quality warnings.
Through the integration of roadside units (RSUs), it enables information exchange between light poles and vehicles, and between light poles and traffic lights, providing real-time and accurate road condition information for autonomous driving and intelligent transportation.
Installs charging stations for new energy vehicles or electric bicycles on light poles, utilizing the power supply advantage of the light poles to solve the problem of insufficient urban charging facilities.
Through a central control platform, remote fault diagnosis, energy management, brightness adjustment, and application upgrades for all light poles are achieved, significantly reducing operation and maintenance costs.
The promotion of smart light poles is an inevitable trend in refined urban management and new infrastructure construction.
Smart light poles are considered an important component of "new infrastructure," integrating power supply, lighting, communication, and information sensing systems, serving as the "nerve endings" of urban digital transformation.
Through intelligent dimming and remote control, "on-demand lighting" can be achieved, saving electricity; centralized operation and maintenance reduces labor and time costs.
The urban operation data collected by smart light poles is a valuable urban data asset that can be used for urban planning, emergency response, and business decision-making.
The large number and wide distribution of light poles effectively penetrate every corner of the city, reserving interfaces for more innovative applications in the future (such as drone parking and urban navigation).
Smart light poles are no longer just lighting products, but open intelligent infrastructure with platform attributes, accelerating the construction of safe, efficient, and environmentally friendly smart cities across the country.
A1: The biggest difference lies in their platform architecture and integrated functions. Ordinary streetlights only provide lighting; smart light poles are urban information sensing and service platforms integrating multiple functions such as 5G, video surveillance, and environmental monitoring.
A2: It mainly consists of four layers: the device sensing layer, the network communication layer, the data aggregation layer, and the system application layer.
A3: Smart light poles can serve as carriers for 5G micro base stations, leveraging their power supply and wide distribution advantages to achieve deep 5G signal coverage in urban areas.
A4: Main functions include 5G signal output, video surveillance, multimedia information dissemination, environmental monitoring, vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication, and charging management.
A5: Through a cloud-based remote control system, on-demand intelligent dimming of lighting is achieved, and remote fault diagnosis is possible, thereby reducing energy consumption and manpower maintenance costs.
