Smart Pole Overview

Smart Poles

As cities become more and more densely populated, space will become increasingly valuable. In the cities of the future, will a lighting column that simply supports a lantern be seen as valuable?

We at Valmont^® Structures believe that added value solutions will be the way forward. For that reason, we have developed a range of smart columns that are designed to help people stay connected while they enjoy the public space.

Brighter Savings

The opportunities that cities can seize with the installation of smart lighting solutions go far beyond value creation through energy (cost) and maintenance savings or the improvement of the environmental impact.

In addition to saving money, cities gain enhanced capabilities and functionalities. Smart street lights can help monitor traffic flow, parking, pedestrian crossings, seismic activity, or atmospheric changes. They can be equipped with speakers to alert people to dangerous situations or conditions, or with cameras to help police solve crimes or to verify trash collection and other activities.

IoT Opportunities

The installation of Valmont Smart Columns can play a key role in a smart city strategy, in which street and other exterior lighting installations serve as backbone of a network in which services are delivered to the benefit of citizens, businesses and the city government. Modern smart lighting products can help cities in monitoring the environment, to increase public- and traffic-safety, to upgrade connectivity as WiFi hotspots or to deliver location-based services like smart parking and smart navigation.

Urban Enhancement

Increased citizen satisfaction: Smart street lights contribute to more livable cities by helping to improve safety and reduce congestion.

Reduced energy cost: Smart street lights more efficiently manage electricity, leading to greater cost savings compared to simple LED luminaires.

Increased revenue opportunities: Smart street lights can provide new revenue opportunities with digital signage and other capabilities.
