5G network will accelerate the development of smart street lights

As the fifth-generation mobile communication network, the 5G network has a transmission speed of up to tens of Gb per second, which is hundreds of times faster than the transmission speed of a 4G network. The entire ultra-high-quality movie can be downloaded within 1 second. In 2014, Samsung took the lead in developing a 5G transmission network, which has been sought after by all parties, and plans to put it into commercial use around 2020. With the birth of 5G technology, it will share 3D movies, games and ultra-high image quality (UHD) with smart terminals. The era of the show has come to us.

In order to meet the high data traffic and high transmission rate requirements of 5G networks, 5G networks have a higher frequency spectrum than 4G. The higher the frequency, the faster the transmission speed, but it will inevitably lead to a shorter wireless signal propagation distance. The ultra-dense networking in the 5G era has spawned the demand for small base stations. At present, the deployment methods of small base stations are mainly divided into indoor cover and outdoor cover. The detailed deployment methods for outdoor cover mainly include: pole-holding device, floor device and above-ground device. The installation method according to the smart street lamp is a typical method of the pole-holding device, which has the advantages of power supply advantage, intelligent management, dense coverage, space saving, and blind spot cover. Compared with the industrial safety problems of plastic and ground installations that often occur on floor installations, installing small base stations on smart street lights will be one of the most feasible methods. According to the plan of the IMT-2020 (5G) promotion group, the three major operators have basically determined to conduct 5G pilot projects in key cities in 2018 and officially open commercial use in 2020, which will generate a large amount of demand for smart street lights.
