Smart streetlights accompany the development of smart cities as a trend
1. Development trend of smart street lights
"Smart City" is a new type of information-based urban form formed under the support of Internet of Things information technology, and it is also a major strategy for urban development at home and abroad. The Central Urban Work Conference proposed to "focus on building smart cities", and eight national ministries and commissions quickly responded by issuing the "Guiding Opinions on Promoting the Healthy Development of Smart Cities", proposing to build a group of distinctive smart cities by 2020. In recent years, a series of policies have been implemented, and the construction of smart cities has entered the fast lane. In 2017, with the implementation of the national smart city plan, 140 smart cities were launched nationwide, creating a huge market of over 500 billion yuan. According to the "2017 2022 China Smart City Construction Market Industry Special Research and Investment Value Forecast Report" released by Zhiyan Consulting Group, by 2021, the smart city market covering functions such as smart city management, safe city, smart transportation, smart government, smart parking, smart healthcare, and WIFI city will have an average annual compound growth rate of about 32.64% over the next five years, and the market size will reach 18.7 trillion yuan in 2021. The smart city industry has a broad market prospect. Cloud computing, Big data, sensor technology and other related supporting technology fields are expected to achieve explosive growth.
Among them, smart street lights, as an important component of smart cities, are one of the most effective ways to enter, and the development space is enormous. As the main body of urban lighting, urban road lighting has achieved rapid growth with the rapid development of urban construction in China. According to data from the National Bureau of Statistics, from 2004 to 2014, the number of urban road lighting lights in China increased from 10.53 million to over 30 million, with an annual compound growth rate of over 11%. The urban road lighting industry has maintained a sustained and rapid development trend. The information resources of smart cities require a large number of perceptual devices to collect. As the entrance of a smart city, street lights are distributed along the city's roads and streets, covering the entire city like blood vessels and nerves. They are dense, numerous, and possess the characteristics of "having a network, points, and poles". Using smart street lights as a key node in the construction of a smart city can avoid resource waste caused by repeated construction, and are the main carrier of a smart city, Smart street lights can expand the application of various functions in smart cities, such as equipped with multi-functional modules such as smart lighting, smart new energy charging, smart security, safe city, smart city management, smart transportation, smart parking, and urban WIFI, providing convenient services for people's lives. It is predicted that by 2021, the market size of various hardware and services with smart street lights as the entrance will be 3.7 trillion yuan, accounting for 20% of the total size of the smart city market.
2. The construction of 5G micro base stations is another important factor driving the accelerated development of smart street lights
In order to meet the requirements of high data flow and high transmission rate in 5G networks, 5G networks have a higher spectrum than 4G. The higher the frequency, the faster the transmission speed, but it will inevitably lead to a shorter distance for wireless signal propagation. The ultra dense networking in the 5G era has given rise to the demand for small base stations. Currently small
