The participation of giants has undoubtedly increased the intensity of the 'war' of smart street lights.
In terms of design and development ideas, smart street lights are composed of smart lighting modules, information release modules, information collection modules, information transmission and control modules, electric vehicle charging piles and other modules. Customers can combine the above modules according to actual needs. The ultimate realization of multiple intelligent functions will become an important carrier for smart city information collection, information release, and information transmission.
