Now some cities such as California, Washington has started to use, analysis of the sensor and camera to obtain information and comply with the cloud data, to solve the problem in the city contains, energy efficiency, public security, infrastructure, transport and emergency measures, etc. But how exactly is the "network" of smart cities in series?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 

At present, most often mentioned for "wisdom city" series intelligent city, through the intelligent street lamp can, in accordance with the regional demand in remote remote control the light and shade to conserve energy, construction of intelligent street lamp is intelligent network system layout. Many companies, including Philips Lighting and TEK Lighting, develop smart LED street Lighting solutions and place nodes on lamps as a control point for each unit.

But building smart street lighting is an expensive project, not every city has enough budget to load. For example, In Ontario, Canada Richmond Hill, this town has 15000pcs high pressure sodium lamp and maintenance cost is expensive, so the town replace HPS for LED street light, can save about $1.5 million per year for maintenance and operating costs.

Dave Barrow who is Richmond Hill's mayor, says smart cities are a forward-looking investment, but reach return on investment need takes about three to five years. Replacing traditional street lights with LED street lights will reduce costs and protect the environment.

Replacing street lights with LEDs reduces energy consumption by 50 to 60 percent, and LED street light live about 20 years, reducing maintenance costs by 80 percent. According to the data, the replacement of LED street light reduces carbon dioxide by 575 tons per year.
