Abstract Our solution is an integrated Smart Lamp post powered. It transforms a regular street light into a sustainable smart infrastructure capable of housing multiple added value services like, public wifI, security cameras, EV charging, IoT sensors/gateways and even integrated audio for public communication. Our solution has the added benefit of being a resilient solution that can still provide lighting, surveillance and other functionality during grid outages through the integrated battery storage. The other function of the smart poles will be to provide street lighting, Wi-Fi hotspot services and surveillance camera. These facilities will be connected to the central command and control Centre where it will be constantly monitored and managed. Use of the smart pole for other commercial purposes, namely, smart bill board, electronic vehicle charging.
