Smart city pole, an intelligent service platform

The concept of smart cities came into being as a consequential development to IoT, digital connectivity, global warming and the compelling necessities for energy saving. More than 50 per cent of the world’s population lives in cities. A city environment with a closely knit street light network became a natural choice for a smart city concept; hosting sensor networks and wireless communications for traffic control, smart parking, noise and air quality monitoring, incident detection, and more.

Smart city lights are not stand alone system. They have to be integrated with other systems under IoT. Hence, the chosen smart city light poles should be able to accommodate a full range of lighting controls compatible with remote control and integral with suitable sensors for the respective applications.
