In recent years, smart street light projects have been continuously implemented in multiple urban roads, becoming a new lighting and lighting in smart cities. This is because smart street lights have huge advantages over ordinary street lights in all aspects. Smart light poles integrate high-definition cameras, 5G micro base stations, one-click calls, environmental monitoring, charging piles, WIFI and other equipment, and through the smart light pole edge intelligent gateway, centrally perform network communication and data analysis to achieve a series of powerful IoT functions including automatic dimming lighting, smart traffic management, and smart information release.

Advantages of smart street lights over ordinary street lights

1. Adaptability of smart light pole lighting:

Regardless of weather conditions, visibility levels, and seasonal sunshine changes, ordinary street lights always light up and go out at fixed times. Sometimes it gets dark early and gets light late, and ordinary street lights can't sense it at all, which often causes unnecessary waste of city electricity, poor lighting effects on the road, and may even increase safety hazards.

Smart street lights are equipped with sensors and the edge strategy intelligent control capabilities of the BMG8100 edge computing gateway. They can automatically adjust switches and brightness according to traffic, pedestrian flow, lighting conditions, etc. This not only effectively avoids energy waste and safety hazards, but also reduces the loss of lamps and extends the life of lamps.

2. Post-maintenance of smart lamp poles

Ordinary street lights lack a centralized control platform to monitor and control lamps, and workers are required to patrol and inspect. This increases the expenditure of labor and material resources.

Smart street lights use the visualized Baima smart pole cloud platform to remotely monitor, monitor, and control smart lamp poles, and realize 7*24 hours to view the operation of street lights. The system also supports active alarms, fault analysis, fault location, etc., which significantly improves the efficiency of daily operation and maintenance of street lights.

3. Functions and experience of smart lamp poles

Ordinary street lights have a single function, generally only lighting function. If you want to expand the function, you need to set up another pole or bundle it with the original street light, which is not only unsightly, but also occupies the position of public roads.

Smart street lamps can be equipped with a variety of equipment such as environmental monitoring, broadcasting, one-click calling, LED information release, car charging piles, 5G micro base stations, etc., to achieve "multiple poles in one, one pole for multiple uses".

The emergence of smart street lamps has also promoted the development of technology industries such as the Internet of Things, big data, and edge computing. In the future, smart street lamp poles can also be used to meet the requirements of full coverage of 5G networks, while carrying more intelligent equipment and developing high-precision application functions, which can play a great role in saving public resources, improving management efficiency, and promoting green and healthy digital cities.
