The Internet of Things is to make traditional equipment "intelligent" and then "networked". It is the basis for the interconnection of all things and the basis for the realization of future application scenarios such as smart factories, smart cities, smart communities, and smart homes. Smart street lights, as important basic public facilities in smart cities, are also used. So what are the main functional advantages of smart street lights based on the street light Internet of Things? What upgrades and changes have smart street lights made compared to ordinary traditional street lights? Below, the solway editor will talk about smart street lights from the aspects of installation and lighting. Let's take a look.

Cost saving and revenue recovery: Let's talk about cost saving first. Unlike ordinary street lights, the installation and construction process of smart street lights is simpler and faster. There is no need to re-lay dedicated lines. The modular installation method is adopted, which greatly reduces the initial construction cost. Later operations can generally make profits by carrying equipment, such as renting 5G micro base stations, LED display advertising spaces, etc.

Automated operation and maintenance, power-on and power-off management: The system automatically performs power-on and power-off processing according to different times, and also presets power-consuming equipment for partition and line management.

Single lamp control dimming management: monitor the on/off status and brightness of street lamps, thereby extending the effective life of street lamps, saving resources, and reducing the emission of harmful gases. Support remote setting of time node monitoring parameters to achieve flexible monitoring. When the number of people and vehicles is low from 1:00 to 5:00 in the morning, the street lamps automatically adjust to a lower illumination brightness to achieve on-demand lighting. It also supports adjustment according to weather conditions and actual light intensity, such as remote real-time opening of street lamps in bad weather. For street lamps installed under bridges or tunnels, the street lamps are automatically turned on at the best brightness based on the measured light intensity, which is more humane.

Through the central setting of the Ximei IoT smart street lamp control system, unauthorized personnel are prevented from misoperation, ensuring the security and reliability of system monitoring data. At the same time, it supports real-time uploading, sharing, and storage of collected data, and automatically determines the operating status of terminal equipment. All operating parameters (automatic power on and off time, area division) can be set and enabled at any time on the management terminal, which is convenient for management.

Therefore, the arrival of smart solar street lamps has upgraded many functions of ordinary street lamps and relatively saved economic costs.
