Patent ID: 10455493

Abstract:
An intelligent streetlight may include a modem capable of communicating on a mobile communications network. The intelligent streetlight may be communicate with a network operations center (“NOC”) via the mobile communications network. In some aspects, the intelligent streetlight configures the modem to transmit on the mobile network based on multiple types of network provisioning data. For example, the modem may have a network configuration, such as a low-bandwidth mobile data plan, based on stored provisioning data. The modem may reconfigure the modem based on additional provisioning data for an additional network configuration, such as a high-bandwidth mobile data plan. In some cases, the additional provisioning data is requested by the streetlight from the NOC. In some cases, the NOC may provide the additional provisioning data to multiple intelligent streetlights, such that the multiple streetlights are each reconfigured in a short period of time.
