Lumca Lumca is a light pole manufacturer based in Quebec, Canada. Within the past two years they have made significant advances in developing smart street lighting poles for cities and organizations across the world. Lumca incorporates the various technologies within a "can" antennae attached to the top of the pole. 95% of the light poles sold by Lumca are LED based. Although LED lighting typically comes in a white hue, the company could offer hue options to suit the city or town needs. For instance, the LED utilized could be in the amber hue or the LED could possibly be half amber and half white to enable the municipality in selecting which hue to use during various seasons. Also important to the municipality would be the suitability of the pole for nautical conditions. Lumca is conscious of nautical environments and has placed poles in Vancouver and other seaside areas in Canada. They use a plethora coat, which is a high- quality, non-toxic coating which endures a 5,000 -hour salt spray test and is treated with a special primer to enable the pole to withstand extreme weather conditions, including hurricanes. The company is focused on manufacturing and producing the highest quality pole possible and does not produce the technology housed inside the remote node. Partnerships have been formed through which the company works to incorporate the monitoring and Wi-Fi mesh technologies, sensors, security cameras, and hotspots. Lumca desires to get the full operating parameters of what their clients' functionality requires, however, some of the partners they have worked with in the past include: DASBOX for environmental sensors, Imposa for variable messaging board, Digital Watchdog for digital cameras, Wicastr for Wi-Fi, Leviton for electronic vehicle charging stations, and ROAM for lighting control systems. The design of the structural pole in part will determine how and where the various technologies and nodes will be placed. The Lumca engineers would work with the client to assist in developing the product in a manner that would suit the client's needs, along with establishing the appropriate functionality requirements. Lumca offers multiple designs for their smart poles, providing options for the municipality. Part of the design of the smart poles includes four bands on the outside of the shaft of the pole. This eliminates the need for banding items onto the pole (i.e. signage, wreaths) that could potentially damage the pole. These bands also allow for the pole to be upgraded in the future.
