Increased demand for 5G base stations leads the development of smart street lights

As the aorta of social information flow, an accelerator for industrial transformation and upgrading, and a new cornerstone for building a digital society, 5g smart street lights are leading a new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation. On October 31, China Mobile officially launched 5G commercial use in the first batch of 50 cities across the country, and introduced a series of measures such as 5G commercial tariffs and services.

　　 The arrival of the 5G era has made the role of smart light poles more prominent. 5G base stations have the need for high-frequency communication and large capacity and high speed, which makes the 5G era require a large number of small base stations to complete denser network coverage. As a city's infrastructure, light poles are in line with the requirements of the 5G era. As a result, 5G micro base stations have become one of the most eye-catching features of smart light poles.

　　 At present, 5G construction is proceeding at an extraordinary speed. As of the end of September, China Unicom has deployed 25,000 5G base stations in more than 40 large and medium-sized cities, and is expected to build 40,000 throughout this year; China The number of telecom 5G base stations is basically the same as that of China Unicom. Up to now, China Mobile has carried out 5G network construction in more than 300 cities across the country, and has built more than 40,000 5G base stations in more than 50 key cities.

　　 Wu Hequan, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, predicts that the number of base stations required for 5G networking will be 4 to 5 times that of 4G. It can be seen that the number of 5G base stations built at this stage is really pitiful, and it is still far from filling the gap in demand.

　　 Due to the limited urban space, 5G construction should make full use of various municipal infrastructure such as street lights, telephone poles, traffic lights, and billboards to accelerate 5G deployment, effectively use resources, and reduce repeated investment.

　　 This year, the state promulgated the 'Implementation Opinions on Promoting the Co-construction and Sharing of Telecommunications Infrastructure in 2019' and proposed to encourage basic telecommunications companies and tower companies to intensively use existing base station sites, street light poles, monitoring poles and other public facilities to reserve in advance 5G site resources.

　　 And local governments have also issued relevant policies and plans to support the investment in the construction of smart light poles to achieve 'multiple poles in one'. The demand for 5G micro base stations has gradually become clear, and smart light poles have caught up with the wind. The active support of the policy also laid a solid foundation for the combination of 5G base stations and smart street lights.

　　 Policy Boosts Enterprise Layout

　　 In 2019, driven by the development of smart cities, 5G, and the Internet of Things, the popularity of smart light poles is bursting.

　　 Many provinces and cities have also responded to market demand and issued policies on communication infrastructure, clarifying the construction goals and work requirements of 5G networks and smart light poles. Most policies mention the implementation of multi-purpose use combined with 5G network deployment, and actively promote smart light poles as a 5G micro-site carrier.

　　 With the support of policies, my country’s 5g smart street lamp industry is developing rapidly with the development of 5G, and the market scale is expanding rapidly. Many cities in China have begun to adopt smart street lamp technology to transform traditional street lamps and smart ordinary street lamps. After the lighting renovation, smart street lamp projects have blossomed in various places. Not only are there a large number of pilot demonstration projects, but also large-scale smart street lamp projects have gradually appeared and implemented. In the future, with the implementation of policies and the continued vigorous advancement of the industry, the smart light pole market is expected to usher in a real spring.
