Product Overview

The SOLARTODO 10m Smart City 5-in-1 Standard is a fully integrated, multi-function smart pole engineered for urban road infrastructure, pedestrian zones, commercial districts, and campus environments. Standing at a mounting height of 10 meters, the system consolidates five mission-critical urban services — LED street illumination, AI-powered surveillance, environmental monitoring, public wireless connectivity, and a public-address/emergency-alert system — onto a single, structurally optimized galvanized steel pole. This convergence eliminates the need for five separate infrastructure deployments, reducing civil works costs by an estimated 40–60% compared with deploying equivalent standalone systems, while simultaneously lowering the visual clutter that characterizes traditional urban streetscapes.

Designed in conformance with IEC 60598 (luminaire safety), IEC 62722 (LED luminaire performance), and EN 50556 (road lighting equipment), the 5-in-1 Standard is the flagship entry point in SOLARTODO's smart city portfolio. With a recommended pole spacing of 35 meters, a single deployment corridor of 1 kilometer requires approximately 29 poles, delivering seamless LED road illumination, continuous 4K AI video coverage, real-time air quality data, blanket WiFi 6 connectivity for more than 500 concurrent users per pole, and zone-wide public-address capability — all managed from a centralized cloud dashboard or operated autonomously via onboard edge computing.

The global smart street lighting market is expanding at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 15%, driven by municipal sustainability mandates, smart city master plans, and the declining cost of IoT sensors and edge processors. The 10m 5-in-1 Standard positions municipalities, property developers, and infrastructure operators to capitalize on this trend with a proven, standards-compliant, and field-tested platform.

Structural & Mechanical Design

The pole shaft is fabricated from Q345B structural steel with a wall thickness of 4 mm and finished with a hot-dip galvanization process that deposits a minimum zinc coating of 85 µm, providing corrosion protection exceeding 25 years in Category C3 environments as defined by ISO 12944. The taper ratio is 11:1000 (outer diameter reducing from approximately 220 mm at the base to 76 mm at the tip), optimized for aerodynamic performance and aesthetic slenderness.

Structural analysis conducted per EN 40-3-1 (steel poles for lighting) confirms a wind resistance rating of >150 km/h (equivalent to a 50-year return period wind load in most temperate and subtropical regions), with a safety factor of 1.5 applied to the combined load case of wind pressure plus the dead weight of all five integrated modules. The pole base features a 4-bolt anchor flange (M30 grade 8.8 bolts) for direct mounting to a reinforced concrete foundation. The integrated cable management system routes all inter-module wiring through an internal conduit, preserving a clean exterior profile and protecting conductors from UV degradation and mechanical damage.

An IP66-rated access door at the base of the pole (approximately 1.2 m above ground) provides technician access to the smart power distribution unit (PDU), communication gateway, and wiring terminations. The door is secured with a stainless-steel quarter-turn lock to prevent unauthorized access.

Module 1 — LED Street Luminaire (150 W)

The luminaire module is a 150 W modular LED street light delivering a minimum luminous efficacy of 170 lm/W, producing a total luminous flux of 25,500 lm. The optical assembly employs Type III asymmetric distribution optics, conforming to the IESNA classification system, providing a rectangular illuminance pattern optimized for two-lane roads and wide pedestrian boulevards. At a 10-meter mounting height with 35-meter pole spacing, the system achieves an average maintained illuminance of approximately 25–30 lux on the road surface with a uniformity ratio (Uo) of ≥ 0.40, meeting the requirements of EN 13201-2 Road Class M3.

The LED light source is a high-density chip-on-board (COB) array with a correlated color temperature (CCT) tunable from 3000 K to 6500 K in 500 K increments via the DALI-2 control interface, enabling municipalities to select warm white for residential ambiance or cool white for high-visibility commercial zones. The color rendering index (CRI) is ≥ 80 Ra, ensuring accurate color perception for both pedestrians and surveillance cameras. Rated lamp life exceeds 100,000 hours at L70 (lumen maintenance ≥ 70% at end of life), corresponding to more than 22 years of operation at 12 hours per night.

The luminaire housing is die-cast aluminum (ADC12 alloy) with an integrated heat sink, achieving a junction temperature below 65°C under worst-case ambient conditions of 45°C. The tempered borosilicate glass lens is rated IK08 (impact resistance) and IP66 (dust and water ingress). The luminaire is certified to IEC 60598-2-3 (street lighting luminaires) and carries CE and CB marks.

Module 2 — 4K AI PTZ Surveillance Camera

The integrated surveillance module is a 4K Ultra HD Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ) camera with a native sensor resolution of 8 megapixels (3840 × 2160). The camera features 20× optical zoom (focal length range: 5.7–114 mm, f/1.6–f/4.4) and a 360° continuous pan range with a tilt range of −15° to +90°, enabling operators to monitor any point within a radius of approximately 80 meters from the pole without blind spots.

Onboard AI inference — executed on a dedicated NPU (Neural Processing Unit) with 4 TOPS of compute — enables real-time detection and classification of humans, vehicles (cars, motorcycles, trucks, bicycles), and objects. Supported analytics include pedestrian counting, vehicle speed estimation, loitering detection, crowd density analysis, and automatic license plate recognition (ALPR) with ≥ 95% accuracy at speeds up to 120 km/h. All inference runs locally at the edge, reducing upstream bandwidth consumption by up to 70% compared with cloud-only processing architectures.

For nighttime operation, the camera incorporates an infrared (IR) illuminator array with an effective range of 50 meters in complete darkness (0 lux), automatically switching between color and monochrome modes via an integrated IR cut filter. The camera housing is rated IP67 and IK10, and the unit is certified to IEC 62676-1 (video surveillance systems for use in security applications). Operating temperature range is −40°C to +60°C.

Module 3 — Environmental Sensor Suite

The environmental monitoring module integrates eight sensor channels into a single weatherproof enclosure rated IP65, measuring the following parameters continuously at 1-minute intervals:

Sensor data is transmitted to the city IoT platform via LoRaWAN (Class C, SF7–SF12, 868/915 MHz) with a configurable uplink interval. The module also supports RS-485 / Modbus RTU for direct integration with third-party SCADA systems. Calibration certificates traceable to national metrology standards are supplied with each unit, and the module supports field recalibration without pole-top access via a ground-level calibration port.

Module 4 — WiFi 6 Access Point

The integrated WiFi 6 (IEEE 802.11ax) access point module provides dual-band wireless connectivity (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) with a combined maximum throughput of 5.4 Gbps (574 Mbps on 2.4 GHz + 4800 Mbps on 5 GHz). The AP supports OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) and MU-MIMO (8×8 downlink, 4×4 uplink), enabling simultaneous service to more than 500 concurrent users per pole with maintained per-user throughput of ≥ 10 Mbps under typical urban loading conditions.

The AP operates in the WPA3-Enterprise security mode and supports 802.1X authentication, enabling seamless integration with municipal identity management systems. The unit includes a built-in PoE++ (802.3bt) injector for powering connected edge devices, and a 4G/5G failover modem (Cat-20 LTE, supporting sub-6 GHz 5G NR) ensures continuous connectivity even during fiber backhaul interruptions. Backhaul uplink capacity is up to 2 Gbps via the integrated 5G modem. The module is certified to FCC Part 15, CE RED, and IC standards.

Module 5 — PA System with SOS Emergency Call

The Public Address (PA) and Emergency Communication module consists of two 30 W weatherproof horn speakers (frequency response: 300 Hz – 10 kHz, SPL: 110 dB at 1 m) and a two-way SOS intercom unit with a vandal-resistant stainless-steel push button and integrated CCTV-linked auto-answer function. The PA system supports both scheduled broadcast (e.g., traffic announcements, time signals) and emergency override broadcasts initiated from the city operations center, with a latency of less than 500 ms from trigger to audible output.

The SOS intercom connects via SIP/VoIP over the pole's 4G/5G backhaul to the city emergency dispatch center, with automatic GPS location tagging of each call. The system is compatible with EN 50518 (monitoring and alarm receiving center) requirements. A blue LED beacon integrated into the SOS panel activates automatically when a call is placed, providing a visible distress signal to nearby responders. The entire PA/SOS module is rated IP66 and IK10.

Power & Control Architecture

All five modules are powered from a grid AC 220/380V supply via the pole's internal smart Power Distribution Unit (PDU). The PDU provides per-module metering with ±1% accuracy (compliant with IEC 62053-21), remote circuit breaker control, and surge protection rated to 20 kA (Type 2, per IEC 61643-11). Total installed power draw of the 5-in-1 Standard is approximately 280 W (150 W LED + 25 W camera + 15 W sensors + 50 W WiFi AP + 40 W PA/SOS + 10 W smart controller overhead).

The smart controller (ARM Cortex-A55, quad-core, 1.8 GHz) runs the SOLARTODO EdgeOS firmware, managing adaptive dimming schedules (0–100% in 1% steps via DALI-2), sensor data aggregation, video stream routing, and OTA (over-the-air) firmware updates for all modules. The controller communicates with the city management platform via MQTT over TLS 1.3 and supports REST API and ONVIF Profile S/T for third-party integration. A UPS module (optional, 24 V / 20 Ah LiFePO₄) provides up to 4 hours of backup operation for critical modules (camera, SOS, controller) during grid outages.

Energy Efficiency & Sustainability

Compared with a conventional 250 W high-pressure sodium (HPS) street light, the 150 W LED luminaire delivers equivalent or superior road illuminance while consuming 40% less energy. Over a 25-year design life at 12 hours/night operation, each pole saves approximately 5,475 kWh of electricity, equivalent to avoiding 2.7 tonnes of CO₂ emissions (based on an average grid emission factor of 0.49 kg CO₂/kWh). The adaptive dimming capability — reducing output to 30% during low-traffic late-night hours — can extend energy savings to 60% versus the HPS baseline.

The hot-dip galvanized steel pole and aluminum luminaire housing are fully recyclable at end of life. LED modules are designed for tool-free replacement, extending the serviceable life of the pole structure well beyond the 25-year design target. SOLARTODO's supply chain for this product line holds ISO 14001:2015 environmental management certification.

Technical Specifications Summary

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What civil works are required for installation, and how long does a typical deployment take?

Each pole requires a reinforced concrete foundation (typically 600 mm × 600 mm × 1,200 mm deep, with four M30 anchor bolts cast in place) and a buried conduit for the grid power supply cable. Foundation preparation typically takes one working day per pole using standard excavation equipment. Pole erection, module commissioning, and network integration require an additional one to two days per pole, depending on site conditions. For a corridor of 10 poles, a two-person crew with a crane truck can typically complete full installation and commissioning within five to seven working days.

Q2: How is the system managed remotely, and what connectivity is required at the operations center?

The SOLARTODO EdgeOS controller communicates with the cloud management platform via MQTT over TLS 1.3, requiring only a standard internet connection at the operations center. The platform provides a web-based dashboard (accessible from any modern browser) for real-time monitoring of luminaire status, sensor readings, camera feeds (via RTSP/ONVIF), energy consumption per module, and system alarms. REST API endpoints are available for integration with third-party city operating systems (COS) or GIS platforms. No dedicated hardware is required at the operations center beyond a standard workstation.

Q3: Can the system operate during a grid power outage?

The standard 5-in-1 configuration is grid-powered and does not include battery backup. An optional 24 V / 20 Ah LiFePO₄ UPS module can be specified at the time of order, providing up to four hours of backup power for the camera, SOS intercom, smart controller, and LoRaWAN sensor uplink — the four most critical functions during an emergency. The LED luminaire and WiFi AP are not powered during backup mode to conserve energy. For fully off-grid deployments, SOLARTODO offers a solar + battery variant with a 400 W bifacial solar panel and 5 kWh LiFePO₄ storage.

Q4: What cybersecurity measures protect the integrated system?

The smart controller enforces network segmentation between the operational technology (OT) network (luminaire DALI bus, sensor Modbus) and the IT network (camera RTSP, WiFi AP management, cloud MQTT). All cloud communications use TLS 1.3 with mutual certificate authentication. The WiFi AP operates in WPA3-Enterprise mode with 802.1X. Camera streams are encrypted end-to-end using H.265 with AES-128. OTA firmware updates are signed with RSA-4096 and verified before installation. The system complies with the ETSI EN 303 645 cybersecurity standard for consumer IoT devices and is compatible with NIST SP 800-82 industrial control system security guidelines.

Q5: What is the warranty coverage, and what does the maintenance program include?

SOLARTODO provides a 5-year comprehensive warranty covering all five integrated modules against manufacturing defects and premature failure under normal operating conditions. The LED luminaire carries an additional 10-year lumen maintenance guarantee (L70 at 100,000 hours). The standard maintenance program includes one annual preventive maintenance visit per pole (cleaning of optical surfaces, sensor recalibration, firmware updates, torque check of mechanical fasteners) and 24/7 remote monitoring with a 4-hour response SLA for critical alarms. Extended warranty packages (up to 10 years) and full-service maintenance contracts (including corrective maintenance with next-business-day on-site response) are available upon request.
