Actively build smart light poles across the country to help build smart cities

As an indispensable infrastructure for urban development, smart light poles have the characteristics of power supply, networking, and wide distribution. They can be used as both data collection terminals and data terminals, integrating surveillance cameras, 5G micro base stations, multimedia information screens, security Alarms, new energy vehicle charging piles and other hardware, through information perception and big data interaction technology, realize intelligent lighting, intelligent transportation, wireless city, information release and other functions.

OFweek Semiconductor Lighting Network believes that smart street lighting is a new type of industry, which is a new test for local governments. Relevant departments need to do a good job of overall management, effectively control energy consumption, and reduce maintenance and management costs. Street lights are equipped with "smart brains", which also bring more convenience and infinite possibilities to citizens.

At present, Guangzhou, Beijing, Shanghai, Wuhan and other cities are actively exploring the creation of smart street lights, and these smart street lights integrate various functions such as communication and charging, and can be described as "all-rounders".

Advantages of smart light poles

According to the editor of OFweek Semiconductor Lighting Network, the smart light pole can realize the functions of street light facility management, fault alarm, power consumption monitoring, street light control, video monitoring, information release, PM2.5 intelligent perception, electric vehicle charging pile and other functions, such as Weather data can monitor the microclimate changes in a day, traffic data can help to control traffic lights, divert the flow of people and vehicles, etc. The wireless network can provide WiFi hotspots and 5G small base stations. Greatly improve the management efficiency of the city.

The biggest advantage of smart light poles is environmental protection and high efficiency. The light source of the smart street light adopts LED lighting, which emits soft warm white light at night, and can automatically adjust the light according to the traffic flow and weather conditions, so as to achieve on-demand lighting and greatly save energy. For street lamp operation and maintenance personnel, each single lamp of these street lamps can be independently monitored and monitored, and the operation of each street lamp can be monitored in real time on the computer, eliminating the need for manual night inspections. Greatly save their workload.

The cameras under the lights can be used for security purposes or to monitor vehicles, detect traffic and people flow data in the area, and provide big data collection and calculation functions.

The sensors on the street light poles are responsible for collecting environmental data, such as weather information, noise, air pollution data, etc. Display these data on the electronic screen hanging on the side of the light pole, and the temperature, humidity, wind speed, wind direction, PM2.5 and other information in the area will be clear at a glance.

The top of the street lamp is a WiFi hotspot or 5G base station of the wireless network, and the bottom is an electric vehicle charging pile. After the mobile network signal is opened and operated, citizens can connect to the Internet for free as long as they walk near the street light poles and turn on the WiFi of their mobile phones. Through the mobile phone APP software, you can make an appointment to charge the electric vehicle, which is convenient and fast.

Actively build smart street lights across the country

Guangzhou pilots the first batch of smart street lights

On February 25, 35 new street lamps pioneered in the country on Tianhe Second Road in Guangzhou slowly lit up, which not only provided lighting for nearby neighborhoods, but also laid the foundation for Guangzhou to promote the construction of 5G network pilot cities and smart cities. This batch of street lights is a pilot project of Tianhe Second Road Smart Street Light of Guangzhou Power Supply Bureau. It is the first project to be put into production within the first batch of pilot projects in Guangzhou, and two of them can be used to charge electric vehicles.

On this simple-shaped street light pole, the original video surveillance, base station, road signs and other elements of Tianhe South Second Road are integrated. Citizens can also check the road conditions, connect to WIFI, and search for city information on the touch screen of the street light base. After the integration, the road poles of Tiannan Second Road have been reduced from the original 52 to 35, and the improvement effect of the street environment is obvious. In the long run, it can also reduce the cost of social public utilities.

      In addition, Guangzhou, as a pilot city for 5G networks, will have a huge demand for 5G micro base stations in the future, and smart light poles can provide basic guarantees such as carrier, power supply, and communication. According to the person in charge of the Planning and Development Department of Guangzhou Power Supply Bureau, smart street light poles, as a high-quality carrier of micro base stations, will provide the best way for the future 5G network layout, and the widely distributed, uniform and dense attributes of street lights can become a high-quality carrier of urban Internet of Things , used in "safe city", "unmanned driving" and other fields.

      The person in charge said. As the first batch of pilot projects, Guangzhou Power Supply Bureau has used independent innovation technology to integrate high-power DC charging piles with street lamp poles, and the DC charging piles integrated with smart street lamps have a charging power of 60 kilowatts, which is much higher than the current domestic smart street lamps. The power level of the 7kW AC charging pile is generally adopted, and the charging capacity reaches 80% in 0.5 hours. The charging is fast and the practicability is strong, which effectively solves the pain point of difficult charging of new energy vehicles.
