As a result, Smart City <br />initiatives allow for municipalities to take light poles in the rights-of-way and utilize them <br />for many different functionalities beyond lighting. <br /> <br />Smart City initiatives allow for municipalities utilize light poles in the rights-of-way for many <br />different functionalities from light monitoring and management to deployment of sensor <br />technologies that can monitor environmental factors including crime activity, trends in <br />traffic congestion and pollution. Community standards regarding aesthetics, design and <br />style solutions require that high functionality be coupled with pleasing design <br />characteristics. <br /> <br />Current trends in smart street lighting range from cost saving LED lighting to powerful <br />engineered solutions including sensor placement, distributed antenna systems (DAS) and <br />Wi-Fi deployment, and municipal communications functionality (i.e. security cameras, <br />traffic monitoring). Municipalities vary in their implementation of these devices and <br />technologies; however, determining an appropriate street pole can assist a city or town in <br />scaling technology for the future, enabling additional technologies to be added as they <br />come to market. <br /> <br /> San Leandro is well ahead of this curve, thanks to an innovative project lead by its Public <br />Works Department. In 2014, the City issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for an LED <br />retrofit project. This eventually lead to a citywide deployment of Smart LED Street Lights. <br />These lights are mesh-connected in a Low-Power Wireless Personal Area Network <br />(6LoWPAN) operating in the 900 MHz ISM Band. These nodes backhaul on <br />approximately 35 strategically placed Wi-Fi access points which, in turn, connect to the <br />City’s fiber-optic network at designated traffic signal intersections. The data transports <br />along the fiber network to City Hall, where it reaches a virtual Control Management <br />System (CMS). Using a web interface to access the CMS, City staff can individually <br />Figure 15. San Leandro Street Light Data Table.
