At the top of each streetlight, you will see a wireless communication gateway made up of three main parts: the small gateway unit itself; a power box connecting to streetlight power supply; and a slim antenna, around 1.5m tall.
Together, they form the bridge between smart devices and the wider internet.
The full tech specs:
Gateway Unit: approximately 245 mm x 175 mm x 85 mm, the gateway acts as a communications bridge, receiving data from sensors and smart meters before sending it to the internet.
Power Box: 110mm x 150mm x 70mm connects the gateway safely to the mains supply and ensures it has the right power to run reliably.
Antenna: a slim pole around 1.5m (subject to change) tall, which extends the network range, allowing communication from devices in more remote or hard-to-reach areas, and reducing the total number of gateways needed for full network coverage.
Plus, bracketry and wiring.
This equipment has been carefully selected to meet strict performance, environmental, and safety standards. Each component is weatherproof, low-maintenance, and designed for efficient, long-term operation in public environments.
Additionally, each streetlight is structurally tested before installation to ensure safety and reliability.
