<br /> 143 <br />The smart pole industry continues to grow and evolve and the innovations aren’t slowing <br />anytime soon. It will be important for cities and municipalities to choose a light pole partner <br />that is prepared for the evolution of the market, with products that are easily scalable for <br />future needs. A selection of products currently on the market are summarized below. <br />Phillips <br /> <br />Phillips, a multi-national, conglomerate organization, is the largest, most well-known <br />organization implementing smart street lighting across the globe. Phillips touts the only “wrap <br />and go” solution for smart street lighting delivering all equipment and technology bound within <br />the confines of the shaft of the pole. <br /> <br />At the time of this report, Phillips offers the only <br />completely self-contained solution, with the <br />equipment and technology being housed within the <br />pole. Other structures typically utilize a “can” <br />antennae on the top of their pole structures. Phillips <br />offers one variation of their light pole, with <br />alterations possible on the external, bottom base of <br />the pole. Fluting of the light poles are also possible as <br />a customization option. The solution would be <br />through a public-private-partnership, where the <br />municipality would receive the poles for free and <br />Phillips would receive a share of revenue generated <br />from the potential leasing of access <br />by wireless carriers. <br />For more information please visit: <br />http://www.lighting.philips.com/main/systems/connected-lighting/connected-lighting- <br />forsmart-cities.html <br /> <br /> <br />APPENDIX B.
