Specifications :

• Each lamp, named pole, is equipped with a solar panel, a battery and a charge controller. Thereby the poles provided by ChinExpansion don't need an access to electrical network.
• In order to reduce installation costs, each pole communicates by Wi-Fi rather than through wired network (which would require tunnelling).
• The Wi-Fi offers a huge bandwidth compared to the system's needs (simple monitoring to detect potential problems occurring), some of these poles will be used for other purposes: IP security cameras, public Wi-Fi Hot Spots.
• These poles being installed fairly straightly (mostly along the roads) each pole has to be a relay for the other poles located too far from the starting point of the network. Several solutions have been considered, the system has to adapt itself in case of a problem with one of the pole in order not to break the chain.
• The last pole of the chain is connected to a secured internet connexion and directly connected to a server acting as an intermediary between users and poles
• This solution is sold as a service to the cities regarding the lighting system and all or part of the access to the security cameras can be sold to the city or one or more SAs.
• Finally, an ISP can pay for access to the Wi-Fi Hot Spots in order to give their clients the possibility to connect to it.
