With the in-depth promotion of smart city construction, smart poles, as an important part of new infrastructure, are gradually becoming a key carrier of new quality productivity. Smart poles integrate multiple functions such as lighting, communication, monitoring, and environmental monitoring, and have broad application prospects and huge economic and social value. However, in the construction practices of various places, the development of smart poles still faces many difficulties, and it is urgent for the government and the industry to work together to promote their large-scale and standardized development.

In the process of promoting the construction of smart light poles, many places pay too much attention to the technology itself and ignore its role as a carrier of new quality productivity. Smart light poles are not just a pile of technical facilities, but also an important platform for urban management, social services, and business model innovation. Smart poles involve the integration of many cutting-edge technologies, including 5G communications, the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, big data, etc. However, the integration of these technologies is not high enough at present, and there are compatibility issues. In addition, some core technologies are still in the research and development stage and have not yet fully matured, which restricts the function realization and performance improvement of smart light poles.

The operation mode of smart light poles is not yet mature, lacking effective business models and profit channels. Smart pole projects in many places still rely on government subsidies, and market-oriented operation mechanisms have not yet been established, making it difficult to show the benefits of scaled operations. The construction of smart poles involves multiple industries and fields. At present, there is a lack of unified technical standards and specifications, which leads to problems such as inconsistent standards and poor interoperability in the construction process in various places, which restricts the large-scale promotion of smart light poles.

The government and the industry need to change their development concepts and fully realize that smart poles are not only technical facilities, but also an important platform for urban management, social services, and business model innovation. It should be user-oriented to promote the widespread application of smart poles in urban management, transportation, environmental protection, public services and other fields. Strengthen technology research and development to break through the cutting-edge technology bottlenecks involved in smart poles. The government should increase investment in scientific research on smart pole-related technologies, promote industry-university-research cooperation, and accelerate the research and development and application of key core technologies. At the same time, strengthen technology integration to enhance the functional realization and performance optimization of smart light poles.

Promote the commercial operation of smart light poles and explore diversified business models. Social capital can be attracted to participate in the construction and operation of smart light poles through government guidance and market-oriented operation. At the same time, enterprises are encouraged to innovate service models and realize profits through data services, advertising, value-added services, etc. The government and industry associations should speed up the formulation of technical standards and specifications for smart light poles to promote the unification and interoperability of standards. By establishing a unified standard system, the compatibility and interoperability of smart light poles can be improved, and their large-scale promotion and application can be promoted.

As an important carrier of new quality productivity, smart poles have broad development prospects and huge economic and social value. However, the many difficulties faced in its development process urgently require the government and the industry to work together to promote solutions. By changing development concepts, breaking through technical bottlenecks, exploring diversified business models, formulating unified standards and specifications, and strengthening policy support, smart poles will surely play a more important role in the construction of smart cities and provide new momentum for high-quality economic and social development.
