Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A system for upgrading and retrofitting existing streetlights. The system enables cellular and wireless communications to be added to the streetlight to provide additional bandwidth over that provided by conventional cell towers. The system also enables conventional streetlights using sodium vapor, and other conventional lighting technologies, to be upgraded to more energy efficient and long-lasting LED lighting. The system can offload bandwidth in otherwise overloaded areas, such as densely populated urban areas. The system can include mini- or micro-cellular routers, GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth®, and other micro cellular and wireless technologies. The system can include a light fixture styled to look like existing conventional light fixtures and can be retrofitted to existing streetlight poles and mounts with little, or no, modification to the pole and wiring.
