Smart street lights-the new favorite of smart city construction

At that time, who was the 'new favorite' in the production of smart cities? It was undoubtedly smart street lights. In recent years, governments around the country have issued numerous policies and plans to support the development of the smart street light industry. Batches of smart street light projects have been completed and put into use. There are also announcements of smart street light bidding projects one after another. The industry associations on smart street lights are preliminary. Establishing and launching related activities, as well as various cross-industry and cross-sector companies continue to pour into the field of smart street lights, making the industrial development showing vigor. Now, Guangzhou, Beijing, Shanghai, Wuhan and other cities are actively exploring the creation of smart street lights.

Why are 　　 street lights so popular?

　　 As a basic equipment, street lights have the characteristics of orderly distribution, wide coverage, and presence of electricity in the city. Assuming it is only used for lighting, it obviously does not give full play to its value. Therefore, when the demand for multi-pole integration and 5G micro base stations gradually became clear, smart street lights caught up with the trend in an instant, which was vigorously promoted and encouraged by the policy.

　　 The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission issued the 'Implementation Opinions on Promoting the Co-construction and Sharing of Telecommunication Equipment in 2018The Shenzhen government also plans to completely cover the main arterial roads of Shenzhen with multi-function smart poles by 2020, and build a multi-function smart pole management channel. It can be said that the signal from the government is very clear, and the policy is also very clear: to create a model of successful and imitable smart street light projects, and then expand it to regions and cities.

　　 Smart street lights become a 'all-rounder' 5G micro base station function is eye-catching

　　 Now, as an indispensable basic device for urban development, smart street lights have the characteristics of power supply, networking, and widespread distribution. Not only can be used as a data collection terminal, but also as a data terminal, integrating surveillance cameras, 5G micro base stations, security alarms and other hardware, through information perception and big data interaction technology, to achieve smart lighting, smart transportation, wireless city, information publishing and other functions .

　　 In the meantime, what is eye-catching is the function of 5G micro base station. Chen said that the United States Wireless Communications and World Network Association (CTIA) released, pointed out that urban street lights will be an important basic equipment in the 5G era. This report believes that the distributed 5G small base stations are the key foundation of smart cities. Municipal and regulatory organizations should streamline the review process and adjust the fee structure to encourage telecom operators to make full use of urban infrastructure such as street lights and electric poles to make 5G networks. .

　　 Huawei’s wireless site president, Hao Yingtao, stated that 5G networks will be arranged in waves. The first wave will be based on macro stations, and the second wave will focus on the placement of 5G pole base stations. It is estimated that a preliminary plan will be formed after 2020. At that time, it will usher in a new round of increase: According to CTIA's forecast, my country's market planning for various hardware and services imported from smart street lights in 2021 may be 3.7 trillion yuan, accounting for 20% of the total planning of smart city malls.

　　 Multi-shot unification is very costly and requires a sophisticated business model

　　 Although the government has detailed guidelines for the promotion of 5G and has pilot programs in many cities, it is still difficult to use them in a large amount in the short term. The reason is the funding and budget. It is estimated that about 240,000 street light poles in Shenzhen undergo a 'multi-pole-in-one' transformation, and the preliminary estimate will cost as much as 50 billion yuan.

　　 Smart cities can’t just be mirages or limited to small planning test scenarios. The benefits of smart connectivity and urban transformation brought by 5G are visible and can be waited for, but the transformation of smart street lights must first deal with the problem of the generation of basic production. At the same time, it also needs to deploy 5G technology and a sophisticated commercial operating environment to get rich rewards.
