The application

A smart pole brings several kinds of equipment to one location. Cameras, environmental instruments and lighting controllers need different connections, but each needs a reliable route to the system that uses its data.

What the connection needs to solve

A camera stream and a sensor reading have different bandwidth and integration needs. Choose the connections around the installed devices, available network and receiving platform.

  • Match serial and Ethernet equipment to supported connections.
  • Plan the network and power supply for the pole installation.
  • Give each data stream a defined destination and owner.

How the system connects

Follow the data path, then explore the role of each device.

Field equipment connects to CM560-61F through supported interfaces. A 4G or supported wired uplink carries data to the customer platform.

How the data path comes together

A practical integration sequence for planning and commissioning.

  1. Connect the equipment

    Identify cameras, instruments and controllers, then match their interfaces to the gateway.

  2. Establish the uplink

    Use the selected 4G service or a supported wired connection to reach the receiving system.

  3. Map the data

    Agree device identifiers and message formats with the platform integrator.

  4. Commission the connection

    Check readings and video at the destination; test how operators identify an interrupted connection.
