What Is the Project?
SMART CITIES SOLUTIONS POWERED BY SUN AND WIND ENERGY represent a groundbreaking smart infrastructure initiative. The project centers on a smart IoT lamppost powered by wind and solar energy, integrated with energy storage and grid connection. This is achieved through the OmniConnect IoT Cloud based Software, which powers sustainable and state-of-the-art lighting solutions. In effect, a regular street light is transformed into a carbon-neutral device, capable of hosting numerous IoT applications, from lighting to telecom integrations and even computer vision. This transformative project, developed by Omniflow, provides sustainable smart city solutions that help organizations drop power consumption and drastically reduce their carbon footprint.
Main Benefits and Key Figures
An essential part of the project’s success is its impressive capability to generate dramatic savings and environmental benefits. Key figures and facts include:
- Sustainable lighting ensuring improved security on the beach and urban areas
- Multiple services in one integrated infrastructure with smart poles
- 5G/LTE small cell integration capacity through optimized internal space for telecommunications
- Drone charging station on the Omniflow solution
- Energy savings exceeding 90% compared with regular lighting and over 60% compared with standard LED
Innovative Lighting Solutions
The project prominently features SMART LIGHTING. Designed for the modern era, the sustainable smart lighting solution is not only about illumination—it’s about transforming everyday light poles into hubs of digital opportunity. With integrated energy storage and grid connection, the smart IoT lamppost uses the renewable energy available first, only turning to grid power if necessary… This results in exceptional energy savings and stimulates the ongoing evolution of urban lighting that is both practical and environmentally friendly.
Advanced Telecommunications Integration
At the heart of the infrastructure lies the SMART POLE, an innovative concept that brings multiple services together. This solution includes smart technologies designed for Telecom, such as small cell and 5G/LTE small cell integration. The smart pole is meticulously designed with optimized internal space for telecommunications—a small cell integration that doesn’t compromise aesthetics or efficiency. Additionally, the design accommodates futuristic elements like a drone charging station on the Omniflow solution, blending advanced connectivity with clean energy and smart design.
Cutting-Edge Security and Mobility
Beyond lighting and telecom, the project extends its innovative reach to SECURITY and MOBILITY solutions. Integrated cameras and video analytics fortify urban areas with a robust security system, while the incorporation of innovative mobility solutions helps ensure pedestrian safety. One such example is the OmniCharger—a marvel of smart urban design that functions as a smart luminaire with a fully integrated EV charger, ready to be installed on an existing traditional pole. Video analytics also enhance parking lot management, ensuring that urban mobility is safe, efficient, and smart.
Project Impact on Sustainable Development Goals
- SDG 7: Affordable and Clean Energy – Prioritizing renewable energy use with wind and solar power.
- SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities – Transforming regular street lights into multifunctional smart lampposts for resilient urban development.
- SDG 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure – Integrating advanced IoT solutions for enhanced connectivity and service delivery.
- SDG 13: Climate Action – Achieving more than 90% energy savings and significantly lowering the carbon footprint.
Future Horizons in Urban Innovation
Looking forward, the project continues to expand its range through versatile products such as Omniled 07, Omniled 035, and Omnibench. Omniled 07 is a smart IoT lamppost powered by wind and solar energy, featuring integrated energy storage and grid connection that empowers it with multiple integrated applications. With this solution, even a simple street light is reinvented as a hub for additional IoT purposes. Meanwhile, Omnibench transforms public urban furniture with optional features like architectural lighting, USB or wireless charging points, and electric bicycles docking stations—truly marrying design with functionality. The contemporary design of the Omnibench is directly inspired by the Omniled Smart Lamppost shape, providing a futuristic and engaging aesthetic that complements the smart ecosystem.
