PHILPS and Ericsson work together to promote smart street lighting and improve the city's mobile network

- city population is growing by 7500 people per hour speed; by 2019, mobile data traffic is expected to increase ten times. Thus, to promote the city's sustainable lighting solutions, enhance the capacity of mobile networks, as well as the need to expand the coverage of mobile networks.

The new street network - has solved two problems: provides an implementation of the next generation of more energy-efficient LED lighting solutions for municipal management, in order to achieve the goal of sustainable development; at the same time also allows network operators to improve mobile broadband throughout the city and expand the scope of application.

- the lighting solutions are Ericsson called "zero base station" (Zero Site), it will be installed in the lamp of telecommunications equipment, help telecom operators to improve the performance of mobile network, while alleviating the produce in the planning of telecommunications equipment placement before the city out of order.

- this solution can expand the city mobile network coverage, data transmission to bring a better experience for city residents; and improve road lighting conditions and safety.

Novel LED street lamp with built-in mobile telecommunication equipment

At the world mobile communications conference held in Barcelona, Spain, PHILPS to join Ericsson, jointly launched an innovative networking solutions LED street. The cooperation between the two sides to solve the two major problems facing the city: to provide better network services for city residents in densely populated areas, while also providing public lighting service quality and energy-saving for the residents of these areas.

PHILPS and Ericsson through the integration of the advantages of mobile networks and LED lighting, together to create a city lighting service model. Through this model, Ericsson can put mobile telecommunications equipment placed in PHILPS lamp, PHILPS will provide the integration of the LED lamp Ericsson mobile telecommunication equipment for the city; and mobile operators in cooperation with Ericsson can hire poles within the space, to frame City mobile broadband network, improve data coverage and network capacity in order to provide better mobile broadband services to the public. This model can accelerate the investment payback period of urban infrastructure, making it easier for the city to bear the pre installation and management costs of these systems, thereby reducing the pressure on the city budget.

The climate group (The Climate Group) in the world's 12 largest city to carry out the study found that PHILPS LED lamps can save the energy consumption of 50-70%, and if the intelligent control system used in combination, can save energy up to 80%. The results also show that, compared with the traditional high pressure sodium lamp, LED lamp can enhance safety, improve visibility.

Ericsson CEO Hans vestberg (Hans Vestberg) said: "this is a very important innovation, it can help us cope with the trend of the city. At the same time, Ericsson consumer research laboratory (ConsumerLab) research results show that the Internet is one of the five most important factors to enhance the satisfaction of urban residents. This is called 'zero base' innovative solutions to help people achieve success in a networked society. "

PHILPS CEO 000 haodon (Frans van Houten) said: "this new street network LED is another example of our animal push for the development of things, and that means more than the street lighting itself. We provide a 'service' lighting mode, according to the city demand scale, help the municipal administrators to provide more Internet, energy saving and safety of the residents of the city environment, and use the existing budget and resources to enhance livable city. "

In order to improve the network capacity and coverage needs, mobile operators need to improve in the densely populated areas, increase the number of wireless base stations, and increase the density of its distribution. This new type of networking street lamp post contains advanced Ericsson small base station products, network operators to find the right location provides a new choice. In addition, it also helps to expand the scale of mobile broadband infrastructure deployment, beyond the limitations of traditional sites. This is also a key factor to promote the development of intelligent three-dimensional network.
