Connector manufacturers include Tyco, Molex, Amphenol, Shenzhen Qiaoheli, Lingya, etc.

19. Construction and operation and maintenance

Smart light pole construction projects are usually carried out through procurement and bidding. After sorting out recent smart light pole bidding projects, it was found that state-owned investment companies, iron tower branches, power companies and relevant government departments are the main procurement entities.

Taking Chengdu City Investment as an example, with the strong support of Chengdu City Investment Group, City Investment Construction Group seized the opportunity of 5G development, took advantage of the wave of smart city construction, and planned to use light poles as a carrier and marketization as a means to develop smart lights. Pole construction and operation, to create an integrated development model of “investment, construction, management, and operation” for urban lighting facilities, to effectively revitalize government assets, and to promote municipal state-owned enterprises to become bigger, better and stronger. In this context, Chengtou Construction Group successfully completed the industrial and commercial registration of a professional company, Chengdu Chengtou Smart City Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Chengdu Smart City Company”) in October 2019, and was highly recognized by the leaders of the Municipal Party Committee. Chengtou Smart City Co., Ltd. is actively carrying out the exploration of the business model of the “multi-pole integration” of the first ring road and the pilot demonstration project of 5G base station installation and 5G scenario application of smart light poles. The Operation Reform Pilot Implementation Plan requires that, under the circumstance of tight time and heavy tasks, on October 31, 2019, the “Chengdu Central City Urban Road and Public Landscape Lighting Facilities Entrusted Maintenance Service Intention Agreement” was signed with the Municipal Urban Management Committee, and Formed a work plan with Chengdu Investment Group on the handover of urban lighting facilities and equipment on the Third Ring Road. The effective progress of the above work means that the handover of about 140,000 urban lighting facilities and ancillary facilities within the Chengdu Ring Expressway has officially started. Gradually cover the whole area of ​​Chengdu.

The project construction area extends from closed spaces such as parks and scenic spots to open areas such as the main streets of the city. The owner of the enclosed space and the main body of operation and maintenance in the later stage are relatively unified and easy to coordinate, so they are the main partners for the demonstration and promotion of smart light poles in the early stage.

However, with the development of Internet and Internet of Things technology, as well as the application of cloud technology, big data and other technologies, the trend of adapting to the new urban management model through the adjustment of urban management system and organization has become increasingly clear. Guizhou, Shandong, Chongqing, Fujian, Guangdong The establishment of big data administrations in Zhejiang, Jilin, Guangxi and other provinces is a manifestation of this trend. Only by breaking through the data barriers of various departments at the government level can we truly promote the application of smart city applications represented by smart light poles at the city level or even wider areas.

Different purchasers have different qualification requirements for winning bidders. The qualifications that appear more frequently are municipal engineering construction general contracting qualifications, communication engineering construction general contracting qualifications, mechanical and electrical engineering construction general contracting qualifications, electronic and intelligent engineering professional contracting qualifications, urban And road lighting engineering professional contracting qualifications, and the level of the corresponding qualifications required is generally determined according to the size of the project.

According to the data of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development of China, there are not a few companies with the above qualifications. There are 14,917 companies with two qualifications, 3,791 with three qualifications, 598 with four qualifications, and 55 with five qualifications. At present, the construction enterprises of smart light pole projects mainly include Shanghai Sansi, Huati Technology, Unilumin Technology, Longteng Lighting, New Space, Liangye Environment, Wanrun Technology, Sichuan Energy Investment, Taihua Wisdom and Haina Tiancheng, etc. Different levels of relevant qualifications, such as Longteng Lighting has the first-level professional contracting of urban and road lighting engineering, the first-level professional contracting of electronic and intelligent engineering, and the special-level qualification of lighting engineering design. Enterprises that do not have relevant qualifications generally join other qualified enterprises to jointly bid and declare.

20. Planning and Design

The Bureau of Planning is currently generally called the Bureau of Planning and Natural Resources. As a measure of the state to streamline institutions, it is responsible for planning and natural resources. Its responsibilities include establishing a spatial planning system and supervising its implementation, organizing the preparation of detailed urban planning and urban design, etc. As an auxiliary unit of urban construction, planning and other functional departments, urban planning and design institutes are a small part of the nature of public institutions, and most of them are enterprises. Taking Beijing as an example, the Beijing Institute of Urban Planning and Design is a public institution affiliated to the Municipal Planning and Land Commission.

It is entrusted by the Municipal Planning and Land Commission to be responsible for the organization and demonstration of the city’s urban and rural planning, and to undertake relevant planning tasks assigned by the municipal government; In addition, there are also corporate planning and design institutes such as Beijing Tsinghua Tongheng, Beijing Municipal Engineering Design and Research Institute, and Beijing Urban Construction Design and Development Group.

The design of smart light poles needs to integrate the design requirements of street light poles, monitoring poles, communication poles and traffic poles to meet the requirements of installation space, weight, and working environment of the pole-mounted equipment. At the same time, the hardware interface of the pole should be planned in advance, mainly to reserve the interface and installation space for the mounting equipment and supporting facilities, including the reserved hole size, location and process, reserved cable position, threading space, reserved equipment installation space, etc. Traditional lighting pole enterprises such as Yangzhou Gaoyou and Guangdong Zhongshan generally have small production scale (even family workshop production) and weak technical capabilities (pole material, wall thickness, structure and other key technical links rely on experience, no design and simulation capabilities support), etc.

The problem is that it does not have the ability to design the rod itself. The overall performance of LED lighting companies in rod body design is weak accumulation, and companies with strong design capabilities mainly include Shanghai Sansi, Huati Technology and Shanghai Ximei. At present, the design institutes that have the advantages of technology and experience are the design institutes that have started to get involved in smart light poles from the traditional communication design industry, such as the Huaxin Design Institute and the Posts and Telecommunications Design Consulting Institute affiliated to Zhongtong Service.

At present, the existing domestic communication design/consulting units can be roughly divided into several categories: directly under the former Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications, directly under the former General Administration of Telecommunications, and transformed from communication-related enterprises.

1. There are two design institutes directly under the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications—the China Telecom Posts and Telecommunications Consulting and Design Institute located in Zhengzhou, which is now merged by China United Communications Co., Ltd. and renamed China Unicom Group Design Institute; the Beijing Design Institute of the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications in Beijing ( Now known as China Mobile Communications Group Design Institute Co., Ltd.).
2. All the local design institutes directly under the former General Administration of Telecommunications are now unified under the banner of China Communications Service Corporation. There are three well-known provincial design institutes: Zhejiang Huaxin Design Institute, Guangdong Telecom Design Institute and Beijing Netcom Design Institute.
3. There are no less than 1,000 design institutes transformed from communication-related enterprises. The main enterprises (units) are: Jiesai Design Institute (seven institutes of the Electronics Department) and Design Institute of China Communications Construction Corporation.

(2) Technology status

Smart light poles use light poles as the carrier, and provide functions such as intelligent lighting, mobile communication, urban monitoring, traffic management, information interaction and urban public services by mounting various devices, and can remotely monitor, control, manage, An intelligent system for school time and information release.

The smart light pole system is composed of hardware system and software system:

(1) The hardware system consists of rod body, base, mounting equipment, supporting facilities, etc.

(2) The software system includes the control protocol, communication protocol and management platform among the hardware components.

Drawing on the four-layer architecture of the IoT perception layer, transmission layer, platform layer and application layer, the system architecture of the smart light pole intelligent system

in:

——The perception layer includes environmental sensors (PM2.5 monitoring module, temperature and humidity monitoring module, brightness monitoring module, noise monitoring module, wind speed and direction monitoring module, air pressure monitoring module, etc.), lighting sensors (lighting rate, power consumption detection, etc.) , immersion sensor, tilt sensor, fault information, etc.), facility sensors (people/vehicle flow monitoring, 5G drive test unit, etc.), etc.

——The technical methods of the transmission layer are divided into wired transmission and wireless transmission. Wired transmission can use optical fiber, power line carrier, etc., which should be based on optical fiber, and power line carrier as an alternative; wireless transmission can use optical fiber, NB-IoT, 3G/4G /5G, LoRa, ZigBee and other methods, the wireless transmission frequency of each device should be reasonably planned to avoid frequency interference. There are differences between NB and other methods, and a multi-protocol gateway is not required.

——The platform layer is the smart light pole management platform. Based on the principles of cloud deployment and intensive management, the management platform can centrally manage and control all smart light poles and mounted devices, and is compatible with the communication of all systems and devices used. and transmission protocol, and can realize data exchange with other management platforms.

——The application layer involves multiple government departments such as public security, transportation, environmental protection, telecommunications, and urban management, and involves various users such as the government, enterprises, and individuals.

1. Device hardware analysis

The main components of smart light poles include smart lighting equipment, 4G/5G micro base stations and WIFI receiver transmitters, video surveillance, public broadcasting, various types of sensors, LED information screens, radio frequency identification, emergency calls, charging piles, etc. As a new generation of infrastructure to promote the digital economy and build a new smart city, smart light poles have expanded applications such as WIFI base stations, video surveillance, advertising screen broadcasting, environmental monitoring, emergency calls, and new energy vehicle charging through iterative upgrades.

In recent years, under the national layout of “new infrastructure” and “5G commercial use”, various places have successively released the construction goals of smart light poles, and the large-scale application of smart light poles has become the general trend. However, the landing of smart light poles is still facing inconsistencies in technology, interfaces, and software.

Under the joint promotion of the Guangdong Provincial Department of Housing and Urban-Rural Development and the Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology, Guangdong Tower, the chairman unit of the alliance, as one of the editor-in-chief units, unites with 16 related units including urban planning, engineering construction and maintenance, scientific research units, and light pole manufacturers. Compilation of “Technical Specifications for Smart Light Pole”.

The specification is the first provincial standard in the field of smart light poles in China, which fills the gap of the lack of unified technical standards for the construction of smart light poles in Guangdong Province. It has been implemented since October 1, 2019. This technical specification is applicable to the construction of street lights and related poles in newly renovated and expanded roads, squares, scenic spots, parks, parking lots and other areas. The “Technical Specifications for Smart Light Pole” clearly states that as a comprehensive smart city infrastructure, smart light poles should pay attention to the following three points to realize the co-construction, sharing and co-governance of information infrastructure; linking various industry applications to establish a wide coverage , A full-featured information perception network; fully consider the integration with the urban landscape; coordinate the entire network of poles, computer rooms, transmission pipelines, power pipelines and operation management platforms.

2. Software system analysis

The management platform is the software management system, which mainly manages, controls, operates monitoring, and data operation and maintenance for smart light poles and mounted devices.

Functional (control) requirements:

• It should have platform expansion and integration functions, provide open and shared interfaces, support flexible expansion and smooth expansion, support access and compatibility with existing systems, and support data exchange and data exchange with other management platforms and application subsystems Aggregate or unified presentation;

  (2) Application analysis of functional modules

Through the analysis of existing projects, the CSA Standardization Committee summarized LED lighting, video capture, mobile base stations, public WiFi, public broadcasting, environmental monitoring, weather monitoring, monitoring components, RFID, one-key calling, display screen, charging pile, multimedia There are 22 main functional modules such as interaction, traffic signs, traffic lights, traffic flow monitoring, traffic law enforcement, intelligent gateway, road test unit, location service, integrated chassis, and management platform, and the related naming has been standardized.

Through the analysis of the core application modules, the core functions of the smart light pole are as follows:

1. Based on LED lighting applications

Urban road lighting is an important part of urban public facilities, and with the advancement of urbanization, the number of urban road lighting street lamps is increasing, energy consumption is getting higher and higher, and power supply tends to be tight. In addition, the maintenance of urban lighting and high maintenance costs (manual control, street light inspection, etc.) have caused huge difficulties to urban management. The management department needs more efficient management and energy-saving solutions, so as to promote the scientific management of urban lighting and green energy-saving.

According to a survey of street lamp management offices in different regions and cities of different scales across the country, including Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Beijing, Chongqing, Zhongshan, Changzhou, Nanchang, Chenzhou, Baise, etc., CSA Research learned that the average number of street lamps in municipalities directly under the Central Government in mainland China exceeds 40. The number of street lamps in prefecture-level cities exceeds 150,000, and the number of street lamps in county-level cities exceeds 40,000. According to the estimation of the number of cities at all levels in my country, the total number of street lamps in my country is nearly 60 million, of which the LED penetration rate is less than 30%.

The electricity consumption of street lamps and road lighting in my country accounts for about 9% of the electricity consumption of the whole society, ranking first in lighting electricity consumption in all fields. Among the 811 cities in the country, only about half of the cities have adopted the “wireless three-remote (remote control, remote control, telemetry) intelligent control system”. However, the “three remote” intelligent control system can only remotely control the lights on and off the lighting equipment in units of regions. Most of the domestic urban road lighting systems do not use network monitoring and management, and the on and off control of most urban street lights is still controlled by each transformer (distribution box). This control method lacks flexibility and cannot obtain real-time access to each street light. It is impossible to control and monitor a single lamp according to the actual situation, adjust the brightness of the street lamp, and cannot achieve effective energy saving.

Based on LED lighting, it can meet the needs of pedestrians and vehicles for urban road lighting, through the replacement and popularization of LED light sources, and through an intelligent network management platform, on the premise of ensuring smooth and safe roads, to achieve single-light / networked control. Smart street lighting meets the business needs of street lighting management departments such as green energy saving, real-time monitoring, and automatic inspection, and is still the basis for smart light pole systems for smart city construction.

2. Supported by the rod

The material of the street light pole body has evolved into the direction of high strength, strong protection and light weight through the stages of wooden poles, cement poles, iron poles, steel poles, and aluminum alloy poles. With the continuous demand for loading various functional modules on smart light poles, new requirements are put forward for the mechanical bearing capacity, power connection capacity and network access capacity of the pole itself.

Light poles can be divided into three categories according to the complexity of the functional modules carried by the poles. One is a dedicated pole for a single scene and equipped with a single type of functional module, such as LED lighting poles, video capture poles, traffic sign poles, and traffic lights. poles, etc.; the second is fusion poles for comprehensive scenes and equipped with 2-5 functional modules, such as LED lighting and video capture fusion poles for main roads, LED lighting and display fusion poles, etc.; the third is for complex scenes, A fully loaded pole with all major functional modules.

The functional configuration of the current pole is mainly determined according to the different needs of each local government. Taking Shanghai and Shenzhen as examples, Shanghai, in accordance with the principle of “one road, one plan, one pole, one plan”, has successively issued the “Implementation Opinions on Carrying out the Work of Overhead Lines Entering the Ground and Joint Pole Renovation” and “Shanghai Road Joint Pole Renovation”. Technical Guidelines” and other policy documents, and plans to compile documents such as “Standards and Procedures for Setting Up Facilities on Rods”. “Shanghai Road Combined Pole Renovation Technical Guidelines” divides combined poles into 6 main types, A~F. Different types of light poles are equipped with different functional modules: Type A poles are mainly equipped with motor vehicle signal lights; poles and arms are reserved. Interface, other facilities can be installed as needed; B-type poles are mainly equipped with video surveillance; poles and booms have reserved interfaces, and other facilities can be equipped as needed; C-type poles are mainly equipped with lane signs; poles and booms are reserved for interfaces, Other facilities can be carried as needed; D-type poles are mainly equipped with large and medium-sized road signs; the pole body and boom arm have reserved interfaces, and other facilities can be carried as needed; E-type poles are mainly equipped with small road signs in road sections, and other facilities can be installed as needed Equipped with; F-type pole road lighting pole, with reserved functions, can be equipped with small facilities and equipment.

Shenzhen has successively issued policy documents such as “Shenzhen New Smart City Construction Overall Plan”, “Shenzhen Multifunctional Smart Pole Construction Development Action Plan (2018-2020)”, “Multifunctional Smart Pole System Design and Engineering Construction Specifications” and other policy documents. Efforts will be made to promote the construction of multi-functional smart poles, as an information infrastructure that can be widely used in smart cities. In the “Code for Design and Engineering Construction of Multifunctional Smart Pole System”, it is recommended that multifunctional smart poles can be divided into several configurations according to function combinations, such as Type I, Type II, and Type III (Type I should support at least two functions, Type II It should support at least 3 to 4 functions, and Class III should support at least 5 or more functions); at the same time, it is recommended to divide two categories of municipal roads and parks according to different application scenarios. Taking the smart pole as an example, an example of application design is given: the main road multi-functional smart pole is mainly equipped with intelligent lighting, video acquisition, mobile communication, environmental monitoring, meteorological monitoring, radio monitoring, traffic detection, one-key calling, information release screen, Multi-media interactive terminals, electric vehicle charging equipment; multi-functional smart poles in residential areas are mainly equipped with intelligent lighting, video collection, mobile communication, traffic detection, one-key calling, information release screens, multimedia interactive terminals, and weather monitoring.

3. Application scenarios based on video capture

(1) Face recognition

The face recognition system takes face recognition technology as the core. For the entrances and exits of important places, such as government offices, embassies, high-speed railway stations, airports, hotels, etc., through high-definition cameras, the faces in the scene are compared with the blacklist database (such as fugitives, key monitoring personnel) in real time, and the alarm is timely; Realize body recognition , given a person in a video or picture from a certain perspective, find the target person with a specific posture from the video or picture of other unrelated scenes; in order to find that the suspect cannot confirm the identity, through the static face retrieval and portrait database Perform big data analysis to quickly determine the suspect’s identity; in the video of the suspect’s appearance, the face is structured in real time, and colleagues provide a trajectory retrieval function to help find the suspect’s foothold afterwards; Face-to-face customs clearance equipment is set up in important customs clearance places such as customs entrances, and potentially dangerous persons are eliminated through the “integration of human and ID cards”.

Based on face recognition, crowd analysis is performed, and functions such as people counting/density estimation, retention and confusion analysis, trajectory and motion analysis, and cross-line counting are realized.

(2) Traffic law enforcement

The traffic law enforcement system mainly includes five parts: electronic police front-end subsystem, urban traffic monitoring subsystem, left-hand prohibited capture subsystem, illegal parking capture subsystem and intelligent traffic integrated management and control platform. The electronic police front-end subsystem is the electronic police front-end equipment. It adopts an integrated video electronic police front-end, which can increase the functions and performance of the electronic police in the aspects of passing vehicle information recording and off-site punishment, and improve the stability and security. The subsystem can capture pictures, extract passing vehicle information, recognize and record illegal driving behaviors of motor vehicles, such as running red lights, not following the guide lane, driving in the wrong direction, and changing lanes, and provides high-definition video recording at intersections.

The urban traffic monitoring subsystem transmits the front-end image and the control signaling from the center point-to-point through the point-to-point transmission link. Realize urban road environment monitoring for real-time feedback of traffic flow, public security events, and traffic environment.

The No-Left Snapshot Subsystem identifies and records vehicles that illegally turn left at the intersection through real-time monitoring of the intersection lanes and video analysis algorithms.

The illegal parking capture subsystem uses the high-definition automatic tracking ball camera and the rear illegal parking analysis and detection server to determine whether there are motor vehicles illegally parked in the prohibited parking areas on both sides of the road, intersections, etc., and will reflect the complete illegal parking behavior before and after. Photos and videos are saved, and the function of automatic license plate recognition can be realized. The system can not only work in automatic judgment and recording mode, but also switch to manual control and capture when necessary. Through the platform client and command center transmission and control equipment, the front-end dome camera’s PTZ action, capture pictures, video and other functions can be realized. .

The intelligent traffic comprehensive management and control platform realizes unified access management of front-end equipment and central equipment, and collects, transmits, and processes information flow, including pictures, videos, passing data, traffic flow raw data collected by off-site punishment system, and analysis results. It also supports the connection with the outfield information board to realize the release of traffic information. The platform realizes the centralized storage of traffic monitoring resources, has a flexible and efficient storage management mechanism, and adopts a cloud storage system to realize the storage of massive pictures, data and videos. The platform supports access to the video quality diagnosis system, which is used to give alarms to the real-time video collection and transmission of the front-end video, such as blur, jitter, color cast and other conditions. The comprehensive management and control platform adopts an open architecture design. Through the data interface, it can be connected with the monitoring platform and traffic command platform of the existing detachment to realize richer business functions and applications.

(3) Autonomous driving

Self-driving cars combine a variety of sensors to sense their surroundings, such as radar, lidar, sonar, global positioning systems, odometers, and inertial measurement units. Advanced control systems interpret sensory information to identify appropriate navigation paths, obstacles and associated signs. In 2021, Keji Road (East Changshou Road-Chunyuan Road) in Zhonghe Street, Yinzhou District, Zhejiang Province will be constructed and put into use as an assisted autonomous driving road with smart light poles as the carrier. The project adopts 5G-V2X, a cutting-edge technology, which can quickly release information such as traffic lights, pedestrian intrusions, and construction on the roadside with an ultra-short delay as low as 10 nanoseconds, and conduct information exchange in a timely and efficient manner, enabling Vehicle-road coordination is possible.

4. Application scenarios of atmospheric grid monitoring based on environmental/meteorological sensors

According to the “Environmental Information Network Construction Specification” (HJ460-2009), “Technical Specification for Environmental Protection Application Software Development and Management” (HJ622-2011), “Data Transmission Standard for Online Automatic Monitoring and Monitoring System of Pollution Sources 2122005”, “Environment National standard protocols such as Technical Specifications for Automatic Monitoring Information Transmission and Exchange of Pollution Sources (HJ-T352-2007), based on the data sensing system of environmental monitoring points, establish intelligent Grid online monitoring system data platform.

This application scenario requires real-time collection and transmission of environmental/meteorological monitoring data within the coverage of each monitoring point, real-time monitoring of environmental/meteorological parameters, online data query and report statistics, automatic data early warning, comprehensive information analysis, data collection and ranking feedback, etc.

All monitoring points are classified and displayed according to their administrative areas and functions. The environmental/meteorological parameter levels of monitoring points are distinguished and dynamically displayed by different icon colors. At the same time, the number and geographical location of the points can be marked, which is convenient for users to grasp the information at a glance. The deployment of monitoring sites within the jurisdiction and the current environmental/meteorological status.

The monitoring site can be combined with the installation of video surveillance equipment to intuitively understand the surrounding conditions of the monitoring site through the window view, providing a basis for the public and management departments to supervise and enforce the law, and at the same time to understand the real-time status of the monitoring equipment. When the data is abnormally reminded, the scene situation can be judged by returning the image data (requires manual work). When a force majeure factor occurs, the accident details can also be judged based on the image data.

At the same time, the system provides early warning and daily notification functions. The early warning includes over-standard warning, disconnection warning and abnormal value warning. When the monitoring value exceeds the standard, the data connection is interrupted and abnormal values ​​occur, it will automatically send reminder information to the set contacts to ensure the system normal and stable operation. The atmospheric grid detection system can also provide air quality and meteorological data export functions. Users can export data after setting the time type, site, and time period. The content includes point information, data update time, conventional 6-parameter concentration values, main Pollutants, Air Quality Index AQI.

(3) Industry development trend

From 2015 to 2019, many smart light pole projects were carried out across the country, but most of them were of the nature of pilot demonstration and the project scale was small. With the recent intensive announcement of policies on smart light poles in more than 10 provinces and cities, 2020 will become the first year for large-scale smart light pole projects to be implemented.

At present, traditional street light companies, light poles, display companies and control system companies are the leading forces in promoting the application of smart light poles. “Multiple poles in one” means the transformation of old poles and the construction of new poles. The most direct way is to increase orders for light poles, lamps, control software and hardware, and engineering construction. The added value of smart light poles is high. For these For enterprises, it is also an important entry point to find new profit points. In addition, smart light poles are also the starting point for such companies to cut into smart cities, so companies have laid out in advance.

Among communication and Internet technology companies, Huawei and ZTE focus on the sales of their communication equipment (4G/5G base stations) and the promotion of their communication solutions. Internet companies Tencent and Alibaba focus more on cloud storage and data processing. Currently, smart light poles are in demonstration applications. At this stage, it has not reached the metropolitan level, and it takes a wait-and-see attitude.

Among the basic network service providers, due to the urgent need for the reduction of site resources and construction costs of China Tower, and its abundant funds, it is currently making great efforts in the application and promotion of smart light poles.

Judging from the current market situation, it is still in the early stage of the development of the smart light pole market, which is characterized by: small project scale, unclear profit model, undetermined benefit distribution, numerous participating companies, and a competitive landscape that has not yet been formed. From the perspective of market trends, first of all, the value of the smart light pole industry chain will continue to move from the hardware manufacturing link to the downstream system operation link, because the hardware cost of hardware equipment providers is gradually reduced and the replaceability is enhanced; the current market Many system solutions do not start from the fundamental needs of the market, emphasizing compatibility and unification in order to integrate data. Operators will be the core link of the smart light pole system, and their status in the industry chain will gradually increase. Secondly, the future large-scale application projects and the current pilot projects will be quite different from the business model to the operational requirements. The current pilot project is mainly based on the government purchase model. The large-scale project may adopt a variety of business models, and the scale of the project Operating enterprises must open up various intelligent applications of smart light poles to meet the real needs of service buyers, and have sustainable operation teams and operational capabilities.
