Singapore takes the lead of IoT using 110,000 streetlight networking in building smart city
In 2014, Singapore upgraded "smart city 2015" to "smart country 2025". It plans to use the power of the country to build a smart city nationwide. It is expected to become the world's first smart country, which is the world's first blueprint for a smart country. With regard to the planning and implementation of smart cities, many of Singapore's ideas and practices are eye-catching. Among them, the use of street lights to intelligently upgrade the networking and build the city's shared infrastructure has taken a critical step from theory to practice.
Under the background of Singapore's vigorous development of "Smart Country 2025", the Singapore Ministry of Land Transport (LTA) proposed a "smart + LED" upgrade and transformation plan for public lighting, and plans to transform 110,000 existing high-pressure sodium lamps into intelligent ones LED intelligent street light for control system. After the transformation, energy consumption and maintenance costs can be directly reduced, operating efficiency can be improved, and on-demand lighting can be realized.
This project is an important deployment of Singapore's implementation of "Smart Country 2025". The government will rely on the island's street light network to deploy future smart city applications, including the planned installation of nearly 600,000 various smart city sensor devices. The street light communication network must not only ensure the high reliability, stability and safety of street light control, but also connect with the city's long-term planning and deployment in the next 10 years.
Starting from the "Smart Country 2025" strategy, Singapore has put forward very strict technical indicators for lighting products, control systems and system integration. Road lighting has always been an important indicator of the government's infrastructure construction and maintenance. In addition to requiring 99.9% coverage of system communications, it has also proposed strict requirements for the entire system response time, aerial upgrades, system integration, and security. Claim. Singapore finds and integrates advanced technical resources on a global scale. Singapore Telematics, Cisco in the United States, Telens in the United Kingdom, Paradox in Japan, China Rongwen Energy Technology join hands with Itron in the United States and local partners to compete for bids.
Over 2 years of technical demonstration in 2 major departments
After 2 years of testing and technical demonstration, Singapore ’s Ministry of Land Transport (LTA) recently announced the bidding of 110,000 sets of street lights. The US Itron and Rongwen Energy Technology rely on IPV6 + MESH communication technology and the stability, communication speed and reliability of the central management system. Security, and scalable applications and many large-scale application cases around the world. So far, this is the largest and highest standard intelligent upgrade project for LED street lights undertaken by domestic enterprises overseas.
The Singapore Ministry of Science and Technology (GovTech) will use the system as a shared communication gateway to collect and transmit low bandwidth sensor data from other public institutions, which is expected to further improve the efficiency of the public sector. Singapore's Ministry of Land Transport (LTA) will also collaborate with the Ministry of Science and Technology (GovTech) to conduct a proof of concept to collect and transmit environmental data such as water level, water flow, temperature and humidity. A spokesman for the Singapore Government's Science and Technology Agency said: "The authorities will optimize and coordinate the use of their facilities and explore other ways to share the resources of public institutions to improve smart city services more effectively."
Eva Wang, Rongwen's overseas project leader, participated in the entire project process. She recounted that, based on national strategic considerations, the Singapore government was particularly cautious about technology options. The entire review was jointly completed by the Singapore Ministry of Land Transport (LTA) and the Ministry of Science and Technology (GovTech). It took a year to conduct a comprehensive and thorough evaluation of the five leading global different technical solutions, including Singapore Telematics, Cisco, USA, and Paradox Japan The overall solution of IPV6 + Mesh provided by Rongwen / Itron. The project was finally awarded the IPV6 + Mesh overall solution jointly provided by Rongwen / Itron. "Singapore is a visionary and cautious country. Except in terms of economy, any decision made by the government in terms of basic design and construction is able to support its development needs in the industry for the next 5 years. The technology that Singapore ultimately chooses is related to it." "The layout of a" smart nation "coincides," she said.
