iRAM provides the end-to-end solution for the design, implementation and maintenance of the Smart Pole. Conventional cities use different infrastructure for mobile network, streetlights, street surveillance, environment monitoring etc. This makes it quite complex and costly to setup and maintain them.
iRAM Smart Pole is specially designed high strength pole of 9-25 metres height with a camouflage cage to conceal the various telecom, IT and IoT (Internet of Things) components and an underground chamber for various control devices, gateways and UPS etc. The camouflage cage or nacelle is made of special material that provides good RF transparency.
It is designed to host multiple devices like smart LED light, small cell cellular antennas, IoT and other network gateways, digital billboards, surveillance cameras, environment sensors, Wi-Fi access points, public address system, electronic call box or panic button, electronic vehicle charging points etc. Most of these devices (IoT-enabled) communicate to the command centre through the iRAM unified IoT gateway. It provides high flexibility in terms of placement of the equipment on it and in the over the ground or underground enclosure. iRAM’s Smart Poles allow the above functionalities to be integrated into a unified infrastructure and thus making it easy and cheaper to setup and maintain these devices from command centre.
The top portion of the pole houses the smart LED lights. At the top, it has provision to house multiple telecom antennas, Wi-Fi access points, smart lighting controllers and associated equipment. In the mid-section, it houses the variable messaging boards, public addressing system and environmental sensors. At the bottom section, it houses the SOS panic button and electronic vehicle charging points. Depending on the area to be covered, the surveillance cameras can be housed either on the light arm or on the mid-section of the pole. The pole has multiple cut-outs to draw the wires of these components only at the place of requirement.
The pole is made of hot galvanised iron to withstand Indian weather conditions and to give minimum life of 15 years, the company claims. It is visually appealing and design to meet city aesthetic requirement. It is hollow and allows all the network and power wires to go through it so that wiring is completely concealed.
It has internal integral cooling system which is equipped to take heat load of all the equipment inside the camouflage cage and underground chamber. The temperature inside all the zones within the camouflage cage and external enclosure is reported at regular intervals to command centre.
