Recently, Philips Lighting announced the deployment of its first batch of Philips CityTouch flex intelligent interconnected road lighting systems in Changzhou and Kunshan, Jiangsu Province, to support the construction of smart cities in both areas.
“The rapid advancement of urbanization in China has directly led to an increase in urban road lighting fixtures, creating a demand for intelligent road lighting management and intelligent lighting asset maintenance.” Diming Xiang, General Manager of Philips Lighting China's professional channel, stated that intelligent road lighting has the advantage of near-complete city coverage and the flexibility to integrate various intelligent sensors, allowing the smart city's sensing network to be built and deployed synchronously with the city's development.
The Philips CityTouch flex intelligent interconnected lighting systems adopted by Changzhou and Kunshan will respectively connect approximately 230 and 1300 sets of Philips intelligent LED streetlights. Currently, both projects have entered the installation and debugging phase and are expected to be completed in August.
During the 12th Five-Year Plan period, smart cities were a key national development plan. Currently, China has successively released three batches of smart city pilot programs, involving more than 500 cities, and has issued corresponding plans with planned investments exceeding one trillion yuan. From the actual results, smart cities have achieved remarkable results in the fields of government administration, urban transportation, and medical care.
During the 13th Five-Year Plan period, with the continuous promotion and use of the PPP model nationwide, the rush of internet companies into smart city construction, and the continuous opening up of big data resources held by government departments, the construction process of smart cities in China will accelerate. During the 12th Five-Year Plan period, the output value of smart cities will exceed 700 billion yuan, and it is expected to exceed 4 trillion yuan during the 13th Five-Year Plan period.
According to data released by the High-Tech Research Institute LED Research Institute (GGII), in the next five years, smart city construction across China will indirectly drive the output value of outdoor LED lighting to nearly 100 billion yuan.
In recent years, the urban public lighting industry has undergone tremendous changes, with downstream leading customers shifting from commercial real estate to local governments. According to data released in the 2016 annual report of Leyard, a leading listed company in the lighting engineering industry, in 2014, the revenue ratio of government agencies to commercial real estate clients in Leyard's lighting sector was 3:7, a figure that changed to 6:4 in 2015 and 2016.
The addition of "smart" is also becoming a breakthrough point for LED lighting to extend from traditional, purely functional lighting products to a higher value-added model. Public markets may explode before home consumer markets.
Since this year, foreign companies such as Philips Lighting have begun to focus on the future of intelligent interconnection.
On March 23, 2017, Qiu Rong Hong, Chief Innovation Officer of Philips Lighting, announced that Philips Lighting and China Mobile had reached a strategic cooperation agreement to jointly explore the Cellular-IoT standard for the needs of smart city construction. In China Mobile's 5G joint innovation center in Beijing, Philips Lighting's research team has established an application demonstration of intelligent interconnected road lighting based on Cellular-IoT technology.
In May 2017, Philips Lighting launched the CityTouch flex intelligent interconnected road lighting system in the Chinese market. The system can not only connect lighting fixtures through existing telecommunication networks (GPRS), but can also adapt to the narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) that is being vigorously promoted.
While seamlessly interfacing with the latest Philips LED streetlights, Philips CityTouch flex can also adapt to existing road lighting systems, faster meeting the needs of smart city construction in the Internet of Things era. In addition to lighting, this open system is more compatible with other smart city management systems, which is conducive to creating a smart city application ecosystem, improving overall operational efficiency, and giving intelligent interconnected lighting a new definition.
Philips Lighting began launching the CityTouch intelligent interconnected road lighting system in 2014 and has successfully applied it in major cities around the world, including Los Angeles and Jakarta, Indonesia, as an important measure to promote global smart city construction. This system integrates professional and efficient intelligent interconnected lighting fixtures, data communication, an intuitive and easy-to-use cloud service software platform, and professional services, making city lighting management more energy-efficient, efficient, and user-friendly.
