Far EasTone Telecommunication Launches Taoyuan Smart Street Lamp Replacement Project, arranging to be the World's First City with Networked Street Lamps

        Far EasTone Telecommunication created a new model of smart city. On September 19, it jointly launched the "Taoyuan Smart Street Lamp Replacement Project" with Taoyuan municipal government to inject Far EasTone Telecommunication 5G "Big Data + AI + IoT" (Big Data, Artificial Intelligence, Internet of Things (IoT)) technology into the operation of smart city. The project aims to meet the needs of Taoyuan citizens and create a number of firsts, including that Taoyuan City will be the first city in the world to fully use intelligent networked street lamps in one year. It is estimated that 160,000 smart networked street lamps will be replaced, which will own the maximum quantity in the world.

         Far EasTone Telecommunication, as a key member of the project, was granted the right to build the Northern District of Taoyuan City, responsible for the construction and subsequent maintenance of 88,000 LED street lamps in the northern district. With Far EasTone Telecommunication’s layout of NB-IoT in Taoyuan and the average coverage rate reaching over 99.6%, it can provide the best communication network. Together with LITEON, the leading LED street lamp corporation, it will assist the intelligent street lamp replacement and maintenance management in the Northern District of Taoyuan. It is expected that 88,000 LED street lamps will be installed in one year, including Dayuan District , Guanyin District, Xinwu District, Zhongli District, Pingzhen District and Luzhu District, which will help Taoyuan Municipal Government fully grasp the city's street lamp control, providing the best lighting and road environment for the public, and greatly improving energy efficiency. With the rapid development of smart city construction in various places, Taoyuan will be the first city in the world to adopt smart street lamp in an all-round way, attracting much attention from the market. Far EasTone Telecommunication President Chee Ching said: "To prepare for the landing of 5G, Smart City will develop a rich 5G application scenario. Far EasTone Telecommunication has been engaged in the smart city, we will positively integrate 5G "Big Data + AI + IoT" expertise to assist in urban innovation and upgrading. It's a great honor to cooperate with Taoyuan Municipal Government in building intelligent street lamps. Thanks for their strong support. Far EasTone Telecommunication, we will also cooperate with LITEON and other domestic experts in various fields to realize smart governance and become a model of smart city in the world! We will continue to form alliances with top enterprise partners, build forward-looking application technology in different fields, play an important role in promoting digital innovation transformation, create a happy and intelligent city, and let Taiwan's technological strength shine in the world! " Taoyuan City will save 115 million degrees per year after fully replacing intelligent street lamps, with electricity saving rate reaching 70%, and carbon emissions being reduced by 60,000 tons per year, which will help citizens save 153 million yuan in energy charge a year. It will be astonishing. High-specification lamps provided by LED Street Lamp Factory, LITEON, not only conform to CIE luminosity standard and 1,000 hours high concentration salt fog certification (more than 3 times the standard value), but also have excellent line protection devices. In addition to leakage circuit breakers and burst protectors, circuit protectors are specially added, which greatly improves security and reduce maintenance frequency. The universality and diversification of intelligent street lamps can be used as the locomotive of intelligent city. Far EasTone Telecommunication Intelligent Street Lamp can actively monitor energy consumption, quickly eliminate failure factors, and greatly improve road safety. In the future, intelligent street lamps can further use Far EasTone Telecommunication IoT technology, combine advanced machine learning with Big Data analysis to build AI model, provide applications such as traffic analysis, image recognition, air detection, and derive rich service modes according to demand, such as supporting electric power transmission, providing electric vehicle charging, becoming micro-meteorological stations and working as the future 5G base station, etc., to create diversified application services that conform to the local demands. Far EasTone Telecommunication has been investing in the field of smart cities for a long time, and its efforts in deep ploughing local demand have been recognized by all walks of life, including smart street lights, smart parking, smart meters, environmental monitoring, smart dashboards, smart health care, Internet of Vehicles. These smart and convenient applications are introduced by central and local governments, and the other fields, including retail, service, transportation, manufacturing, medical care and so on, and it strives to build an all-round smart city.
