Smart streetlights will be based on road lighting poles, integrating public security, traffic signals, communication, and traffic signs into one, achieving multi-pole integration, reducing roadside poles, and releasing public space resources. At the same time, as an important carrier for smart city construction, smart streetlights will act as an IoT port, playing a greater "composite" role. As a densely and evenly distributed information infrastructure in the city, streetlight poles are considered the optimal carrier for outdoor 5G base station coverage. Driven by smart city and 5G base station construction, they will gradually transform from a single lighting function to a new type of public infrastructure.

We understand that during the construction of intelligent streetlights along Zhongyuan Road in Xiangyang City, an emphasis has been placed on integrating multiple poles, implementing an intensive setup of various pole facilities, achieving joint construction and sharing, as well as interconnectivity. The intelligent pole on North Street features single-sided lighting, an antique design, highlighting the historical and cultural character of the ancient city. Additionally, it has been equipped with charging stations, 5G base stations, public WiFi, surveillance cameras, and LED displays, among other applications.
