Abstract

An information-exchanging street pole ( 1 ) comprising: a protection module ( 100 ) extending in a main direction of extension (X), a first cavity ( 101 ) formed inside the protection module ( 102 ) and extending in the main direction of extension (X), a two-way antenna, configured to be in signal communication with external devices and to generate a signal within a frequency range. The information-exchanging street pole is characterized in that the protection module ( 100 ) is radio-transparent to the frequency range and the antenna is located in the first cavity ( 101 ) of the protection module ( 102 ).

Claims (15)

1 . An information-exchanging street pole comprising:

a protection module extending in a main direction of extension,

a first cavity formed inside the protection module and extending in the main direction of extension,

the protection module being configured to house in the first cavity a two-way antenna configured to generate a signal within a frequency range,

wherein

the protection module is radio-transparent to the frequency range,

wherein the information-exchanging street pole comprises a top module extending in the main direction of extension, the top module comprising a third cavity extending in the main direction of extension, the top module being connected to the protection module with the first and third cavities aligned in the main direction of extension, wherein the top module comprises a third upper end delimiting an opening and a cover placed to cover the opening, the cover delimits at least a hole to ensure the dissipation of heat generated inside the information-exchanging street pole,

wherein the top module comprises a support rod disposed in the second cavity, fixed to the cover and to the second lower connection ring and configured to support the cover.

2 . The information-exchanging street pole as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the protection module is formed from a composite material.

3 . The information-exchanging street pole as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the composite material is a composite of polyester and fiberglass.

4 . The information-exchanging street pole as claimed in claim 1 , which comprises a support module extending in the main direction of extension; the support module comprising a second cavity extending in the main direction of extension; the support module being connected to the protection module with the first and second cavities aligned in the main direction of extension.

5 . The information-exchanging street pole as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the antenna is in signal communication with transceivers of external devices proximate the information-exchanging street pole.

6 . The information-exchanging street pole as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the antenna is in signal communication with transceivers of external devices, remote from the information-exchanging street pole.

7 . The information-exchanging street pole as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the protection module comprises at least one recess, each recess being configured to be a ring recess.

8 . The information-exchanging street pole as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the antenna is configured to be in signal communication with external devices, using at least one type of signal.
