Recently, seven departments of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council, and the National Energy Administration jointly issued the "Action Plan for Green and Low-Carbon Development of the Information and Communications Industry ( 2022-2025)" (hereinafter referred to as the "Plan"), in order to promote the green, low-carbon and high-quality development of the information and communication industry during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, and empower the whole society to reach the peak of energy conservation and emission reduction.

What deserves the attention of the lighting industry is that the "Plan" clearly states in the key points of co-construction and sharing of communication network facilities and social resources that it encourages the large-scale deployment of smart light poles in qualified areas to improve the intensive utilization of resources .

Echoing the relevant action points in the "Plan", in the past year, government departments in many places across the country have formulated policy standards on the goal of using smart light poles to integrate urban pole resources, and many cities have achieved fruitful construction results.

Policy standards with clear direction

In March this year, the Natural Resources and Planning Bureau of Xiangyang City, Hubei Province issued the "Technical Guidelines for the Integration of Multiple Poles on Urban Roads in Xiangyang City" to encourage the use of smart light poles to achieve "multi-pole integration" to standardize local urban road poles. software settings to efficiently utilize urban space resources and realize the construction of smart cities.

In April this year, the Office of the Digital Economy Development Leading Group of Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province issued the "2022 Ningbo 5G Development Promotion Plan" , proposing to continue to promote "multi-pole-in-one" intelligent integration in the construction of communication infrastructure to reduce the cost of 5G Base station construction costs will accelerate the improvement of 5G network coverage for the public.

In May of this year, the official website of the Hunan Provincial Department of Housing and Urban-Rural Development issued the "Opinions on Strengthening the Construction and Management of "Multi-pole Integration" of Urban Roads" (hereinafter referred to as the "Opinions"), proposing that starting from that month, the "Opinions" will be implemented throughout the province. Cities and county-level cities took the lead in promoting the "multi-pole-in-one" construction of new urban roads, and gradually promoted the "multi-pole-in-one" reconstruction of existing roads in conjunction with urban renewal and other work.

The "Opinions" also mentioned that prefecture-level and county-level cities in Hunan Province should build a number of high-quality, high-standard multi-functional light pole demonstration projects by the end of 2025, and explore innovative investment and financing construction, operation and maintenance management and other models, combined with The digital economy and new urban infrastructure construction promote the demonstration and driving role of "multiple poles in one" construction.

Present the construction achievements of city appearance and people’s livelihood

In November 2021, the Fengyu Branch-New 07 Provincial Road section of Yubu Highway in Nanhu District, Jiaxing, Zhejiang was officially completed after reconstruction. The multi-pole road lights on this section have added traffic lights, traffic signs, and monitoring functions, reducing various poles on the road, creating a beautiful space along the highway, and further increasing the road space. Resource utilization rate and improved road traffic safety index.

In March this year, with the completion of the installation of traffic lights at the intersection of Dongting Lake Road and Century Avenue in Sucheng District, Suqian, Jiangsu Province, the city's first "one pole, multi-purpose" smart light pole pilot was successful, realizing functions such as urban lighting, urban management, traffic security, and 5G communications. Comprehensive satisfaction has become an important local attempt to explore new models of smart city construction and 5G network coverage construction in scenarios such as dense urban traffic intersections and residential areas.

In June this year, Xinjiang’s first multi-pole demonstration zone was unveiled in Urumqi. The "multi-pole-in-one" smart light pole in the demonstration area has a higher pole body and thicker pole walls. The top is an LED street light, and below it are traffic signals, traffic signs, electronic police and other facilities, and there are also other facilities at a slightly lower position. A low-mounted street light is installed for sidewalk lighting, which can give pedestrians, drivers and passengers a bright and broad view at night.

In the context of the popular promotion of green and low-carbon actions and the continuous innovation of smart city construction and comprehensive urban management models, the introduction of the "Plan" not only provides authoritative direction guidance for the innovation of smart light pole application models, but also allows lighting The industry has become the "link of light" connecting green and low-carbon undertakings and smart city blueprints, leading the upsurge of change in lighting technology across the country.
