Improve Capacity and Coverage in Dense Urban Environments
In the most crowded urban centers, get fast and easy access to street-level locations for wireless infrastructure with the Smart Fusion Pole, an industry-first solution co-developed by American Tower and Signify (formerly Philips Lighting).
The Smart Fusion Pole brings together energy-efficient LED lighting and wireless communications infrastructure in an aesthetically pleasing streetlight pole design. The solution allows mobile network operators to efficiently scale small cell deployments in cities and makes it easier for them to collaborate with cities to deliver smart city applications.
Optimize Small Cell Deployments
Predictable and scalable small cell deployments allow for speed to market, while eliminating the burdensome task associated with finding individual sites and securing rights. We provide access to thousands of locations for deploying Smart Fusion Poles.
Design for Flexibility
Strengthen your competitive edge with access to prime, street-level wireless sites needed to advance your urban telecom strategy.
The wireless radios in the Smart Fusion Pole support the 4G LTE frequency bands that mobile operators use today, including the LAA band in the 5.8 GHz range, as well as emerging bands, such as the CBRS in the 3.5 GHz range.
The Smart Fusion Pole features a plug-and-play design, making it easy to install small cell equipment from major Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), while supporting emerging technologies, such as 5G and the Internet of Things (IoT).
Power the Smart City
Use Smart Fusion Poles to conceal wireless communications equipment needed for smart city applications in plain sight. Now, cities and mobile operators can work together to enable IoT applications to further their green initiatives:
- Reduce the number of cars on crowded urban streets
- Provide city residents access to intelligent transit solutions
- Reduce fuel consumption and operating hours for city vehicles with fleet management applications
- Reduce road congestion and pollution with connected traffic lights and smart parking applications
- Optimize use of resources with energy, water, and gas metering and management applications
With the Smart Fusion Pole, smart city applications will become a reality. At the same time, cities can reduce energy costs for street lighting by more than 50 percent1 with new energy-efficient LED lighting that is crisper, cleaner, and far more welcoming at night.
