Wireless equipment concealment system utilizing an aerial multimedia platform
View Patent ↗A system for providing analytics and operations on data collected from a plurality of smart poles, including a database, a smart pole agent residing on a smart pole, a REST API server, and a web portal. The database is configured to store vast amounts of data from environmental sensors installed on a plurality of smart poles. A REST API server fetches the data from the database. A web portal is provided to allow for viewing of the collected data and perform administrative operations, such as adding a smart pole, maintenance procedures, or other management functions.
1. A system for providing an analytics and operations on data collected from a plurality of smart poles, each of the smart poles comprising:
a support post;
a tubular housing;
an upper capsule covering said tubular housing;
a lower shroud configured on said support post and upholding said tubular housing; and
wireless communication equipment configured within said tubular housing, such that said wireless communication equipment is concealed within said tubular housing while permitting unfettered transmission of radio signals out of said tubular housing by said wireless communication equipment,
the system comprising:
a database configured to collect data;
a computing device comprising a processor and a memory configured with said wireless communication equipment within said tubular housing of at least one of the plurality of the smart poles, the processor of the computing device is configured to run software stored on the memory of the computing device, and to thereby send a series of sensor readings to the database;
a server configured to fetch from the database at least some of the series of the sensor readings sent by the computing device; and
a web portal configured to display one or more pieces of analysis performed on the fetched of the sensor readings and video streams from one or more cameras associated with the plurality of the smart poles.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one of the plurality of the smart poles further comprises:
one or more environment sensors configured to collect the series of sensor readings in a certain area surrounding the at least one of the plurality of the smart poles.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the web portal is configured to:
receive data associate with one or more pieces of the sensor readings;
generate a plurality of reports or deduced analytics based on the received data; and
display one or more of the generated reports or deduced analytics to an administrator via a screen.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the web portal provides one or more features including adding, editing, or whitelisting the smart pole.
5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the web portal is further configured to simultaneously display video streams received from one or more cameras associated with the plurality of the smart poles.
