A street pole becomes a test platform
A street pole is already in a useful position for lighting and urban equipment. The Omniflow installation at Altice Labs uses that position to explore ways of integrating energy and connected functions on one structure. The campus gives those ideas a real place to operate.
PT PortugalIn practice. Altice Labs installed an Omniflow smart pole on its Aveiro campus to explore connected urban equipment.
What to keep in view
The campus installation does not establish city-wide performance, energy savings or safety outcomes.
The installation is the unit to inspect
Omniflow’s platform can be configured for several uses. The relevant evidence is which equipment was actually installed at Aveiro and which functions were tested there. An existing or shared pole can change installation requirements, but each added service still has its own operating needs.
