"5G + Smart Street Light" Helps China's Smart City Construction
As early as 2008, IBM put forward the concept of "smart earth" and proposed the vision of "smart city" in 2010. Governments of various countries are also actively promoting the construction and development of smart cities, and have achieved significant results.
At that time, China also began to pay more attention to building smart cities. After the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development of China launched the pilot project of the National Smart City in 2012, it has received the attention of various local governments, and regards Smart City as the future urban development direction. In February this year, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council formally issued the "Outline of Development Planning for the Guang dong - Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area", which clearly proposed the establishment of a smart city group, marking the construction of a world-class city group and a world-class smart city group in the Bay Area. Authoritative data show that more than 1,000 smart cities have been launched or under construction around the world, and China ranks first with 500 pilot cities. It can be seen that China's smart cities are developing rapidly.
With the continuous expansion of Chinese cities and the increase in the urban population, driven by the rapid development of information technology, the government has created smart cities through intelligent management to improve the efficiency of city operations, enhance the government's administrative image, and improve the quality of life of residents. At present, smart cities are becoming a new driving force for economic development. Smart cities have a wide range of applications and huge market potential. The size of China's smart city market is expected to exceed 10 trillion yuan in 2019. The scale of the smart city market is constantly expanding. It is expected that the size of the smart city market will increase to US $ 717.2 billion by 2023.
As the entrance of a smart city, street lights have the characteristics of “a network, a point, and a pole”, which is a source of information and data collection for the city, which is highly valued and vigorously promoted by the industry. Under the tide of smart city construction, smart street lamps are blooming all over the country.
Development status of smart street lights
In recent years, driven by the promotion and popularization of smart cities, the demand for urban lighting in China has been rapidly upgraded, including the upgrading of urban lighting facilities, the rise of the lighting and cultural tourism economy, and the construction of characteristic towns. The urban lighting industry has ushered in a new huge economy. Room for growth. As one of the important components of urban lighting, the development of urban street lights has also been rapidly driven.
As the main body of urban lighting, smart street lights follow the distribution of urban roads and streets, and follow the concept of "co-construction and sharing", a new type of information infrastructure that integrates various cutting-edge technologies and applications, and plays a "peripheral neuron" in a smart city. Roles. It has the characteristics of the trinity of “have a network, a little, and a pole”. It can collect, publish and transmit information from lighting, public security, municipal, meteorological, environmental protection, communications and other industries to form a smart perception network to Precise management of the field and intensive use of urban resources.
It can be seen that the rapid development of smart street lights not only meets the needs of reasonable urban planning and the construction of urban appearance and appearance, but also helps the development of urban informatization.
At present, the construction of smart street lights in China is in the early stages of high-speed construction. Various cross-border and cross-industry companies have also continued to flood into the field of smart light poles, making the industrial development appear vigorous. Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Shanghai, Nanjing, Suzhou, Wuhan and many other cities have also launched smart street lighting renovation projects for LED street lights.
With the further advancement of smart cities, the future development of smart street lights is huge. According to OFweek Industry Research Institute statistics, the scale of China's smart light pole construction reached 6,500 in 2018, and the overall market size is still small. However, with the continuous advancement of smart city construction and the promotion of the 5G commercialization wave, smart light poles are used as 5G micro base stations. Natural matching is expected to achieve breakthrough growth in the next two to three years.
