IoT Smart Street Lighting Solutions

Core Positioning of the Solution

Based on Zigbee + LoRa dual communication technology and using LED smart lamps as the carrier, this solution creates a full-stack smart lighting solution integrating lighting control, energy consumption management, O&M efficiency improvement and urban services.

It adapts to the dual-carbon goals and smart city construction needs, and realizes the full-process digital and intelligent management of urban lighting.

Core Pain Points of Traditional Lighting

High energy consumption: Full-night constant lighting mode leads to high invalid energy consumption and serious energy waste

High cost: Manual inspection and O&M lead to high labor cost and long fault handling cycle

Difficult management: No remote control, no digital statistics, making refined management impossible

Low resource utilization: Light poles are only used for lighting, resulting in waste of urban space resources, and cannot adapt to smart city construction

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

1.How to choose between Zigbee and LoRa?

Choose Zigbee for dense street light scenarios in urban areas with low latency and strong networking capability; choose LoRa for scattered scenarios in suburbs/parks with long transmission distance and strong penetration. The solution supports hybrid networking of the two technologies.

2.How long is the investment payback period?

For conventional municipal road projects, the investment payback period is 3-5 years, and long-term operation can continuously bring energy saving and cost reduction benefits.

3.Will network interruption affect the system operation?

The gateway supports edge computing. After network interruption, it can execute preset strategies locally, store data locally, and automatically synchronize after the network is restored, without affecting the normal operation of lighting.

Solution Summary

This solution directly hits the core pain points of traditional lighting. It not only realizes energy-saving, intelligent and digital management of urban lighting, but also builds the terminal sensing nodes of smart city with light poles as the carrier.

It can fully adapt to the needs of municipal, park, community and other scenarios, help cities reduce costs and increase efficiency, implement dual-carbon goals, and empower the full-scenario construction of smart cities.
