Smart streetlights will be based on road lighting poles, integrating public security, traffic signals, communication, and traffic signboards into one, achieving the integration of multiple poles, reducing roadside poles, and releasing public space resources. Simultaneously, as an important carrier for the construction of smart cities, smart streetlights will act as gateways for the Internet of Things, playing a greater "综合体" role. As a dense and evenly distributed information infrastructure in the city, streetlight poles are considered an optimal carrier for outdoor coverage of 5G base stations. Driven by the construction of smart cities and 5G base stations, they will gradually transform from a single lighting function to a new type of public infrastructure.

According to information, the intelligent streetlights on Zhongyuan Road in Xiangyang City emphasize the integration of multiple poles during construction. They adopt an intensive setting of various pole facilities, achieving co-construction, sharing, and interconnectivity. The intelligent light pole on the North Street utilizes single-sided lighting and features an ancient style, highlighting the historical and cultural characteristics of the old city. Additionally, it is equipped with charging stations, 5G base stations, public WiFi, surveillance cameras, and LED display screens.
