5G is still the core thrust of the development of smart street lights

　　The smart street lamp market is now in a period of prosperity, which is inseparable from the promotion of new infrastructure and 5G. At present, supporting facilities such as station sites and other necessary facilities for 5G network construction have been incorporated into the territorial and spatial planning at all levels. As a natural spot of 5G, smart street lights are combined with 5G. In addition, the current 5G base station construction time is tight and the task is heavy. Smart tower companies need to connect with operators to meet the network needs, first seize the construction opportunity of the million macro station, and accelerate the return on investment in the construction of the tower. Not only that, after the new infrastructure concept was put forward, smart street lights have risen to a converged infrastructure, and become one of the important measures to support the construction of 5G information infrastructure and realize the co-construction and sharing of resources.

　　 From the perspective of the construction mode, the future smart street lights will be constructed using a combination of macro and micro stations. And according to different scenarios, the 'targets' set for smart street lights are also different. For example, in urban centers and tourist areas, the beautification effect of smart street lights may be emphasized; while in residential areas and main roads, priority may be given to the coverage capacity of the base stations carried by smart street lights.

　　 In addition, smart street lights can also adopt the 'reconstruction and parallel' approach to reduce costs. 1. The poles with beautification requirements can be modified by construction; 2. The pole body without specific beautification requirements can be transformed into a flower arrangement; 3. In the new area/new road section, construction can be carried out in accordance with national or local standards, and equipment interfaces should be reserved; 4. In key scenarios, a strategy planned in advance is adopted, and capabilities and interfaces are reserved in accordance with full functions.

　　 From the perspective of demand, according to the plan for the number of 5G base stations in 2023, the number of 5G macro stations will double. Take Beijing as a case: In the future planning of Beijing, 20% of base stations will use 'social tower resources (including smart towers)

　　 From the point of view of profit goals, although the applications that smart street lights can carry have a huge imagination, behind these applications is the business integration of various demanders, and these business integrations involve interest segmentation. Many applications still have a long way to go if they want to achieve synergy, landing, and profitability.

　　In comparison, 5G base station is not only a key application in the initial stage of smart street light construction, but also one of the fastest profit points. According to the current payment situation, the base station lease management and maintenance cost paid by the operator is about 6000~8000 yuan/year/pole. If the total number of smart street lights is 1000, the installation rate of the base station is 50%, then the final year The income obtained is about 3 to 4 million yuan.

　　 However, from the point of view of the problem, there are still many problems in the combination of 5G+ smart street lights, which involve planning, design, construction, management and other aspects. Typical problems mainly include: the reserved base station standard interfaces are not uniform, the operator's construction cost remains high, and the rapid deployment of 5G on demand cannot be achieved.

　　 Not long ago, the national standard 'Smart City Smart Multi-Pole Service Function and Operation Management Specification' (hereinafter referred to as the 'national standard'), managed by the National Urban Public Facilities Service Standardization Technical Committee, has been solicited for comments draft. This standard is the first national standard established in the field of smart multi-function poles in my country, and it has immediately received widespread attention as soon as it was released.

The timely promulgation of 　　 national standards not only provides important technical reference for the planning, design, construction, and operation and maintenance of smart multi-function pole systems in various places, but also integrates multiple forces to show that the country, The determination of institutions and enterprises to jointly promote the development of the smart street lamp industry.

　　 In general, the development of smart street lights can be said to be a broad road, the general trend.
