Smart street lights accelerate the pace of smart city construction

Practices at home and abroad have shown that smart street lights are an important carrier for information collection and release. Their wide distribution and unique characteristics of self-organizing networks give them advantages that other urban components can’t match, and they are becoming smart city construction and sustainable development. The strategic value of important infrastructure in China has become increasingly prominent. With the acceleration of my country's urbanization process, the pressure on cities has increased. As an inherent demand for urban development, smart cities have become a new wave of urban informatization. With the rise of the concept of smart cities, major companies have deployed smart city-related fields. Street lights are an infrastructure that can be seen everywhere in the city. The importance is self-evident. What changes will smart lighting bring to street lights in the future? What does it mean for the construction of smart cities?

Now, the main purpose of street lights is lighting. However, in the future, street lighting will no longer be an isolated field, but a part of networked urban infrastructure. As the largest group of electrical facilities around the road, each street lamp can be used as a ready-made power supply access point around the road. In fact, all the time, bus stop billboards, holiday road landscape lighting, etc. have been directly connected to street light poles as power supply, and in the long term, street lights can even be used directly as car charging piles. If the street lamp power supply cable is used to transmit the power carrier signal at the same time, a basic power supply and communication network covering the entire city will be formed. As an important part of a smart city, smart lighting has also received great attention and vigorous promotion by relevant departments.
