A 43-pole corridor in Milan, spaced at 30 m, covers roughly 1.29 km while staying within the 30-50 poles/km density typical of urban streets. That scale is large enough to support lighting, EV charging, sensing, public address, and telecom functions, but still constrained by Milan's narrow streets, tram corridors, limited-traffic zones, and dense pedestrian movement.
Configuration Basis
The recommended structure is an 11 m octagonal tapered steel pole, positioned between highway lighting and small garden lighting classes. Highway-scale 12 m+ poles are oversized for this use case, while 6-8 m poles do not provide the mounting height needed for telecom and corridor coverage.
Each pole uses 2 x 80 W LED luminaires at 4000 K and 150 lm/W, producing 24,000 lm per pole before adaptive dimming. For a 43-unit deployment, that creates a consistent lighting backbone while allowing controls to reduce output when traffic and pedestrian demand are lower.
| Engineering item | Specification | Procurement relevance |
|---|---|---|
| Deployment size | 43 units | Suits a corridor-scale rollout rather than a single pilot pole |
| Pole spacing | 30 m | Provides about 1.29 km total corridor coverage |
| Pole class | 11 m octagonal tapered steel | Avoids both 12 m+ highway poles and 6-8 m garden poles |
| Lighting package | 2 x 80 W, 4000 K, 150 lm/W | Delivers 24,000 lm per pole before dimming |
| EV interface | 7 kW AC Type 2 | Matches kerbside charging on common 230 V single-phase / 400 V three-phase supply |
| Telecom module | 5G NR n78, 4T4R MIMO, mounted at 8.7 m | Supports dense corridors where cabinets and roofline sites are limited |
Urban Systems Integration
Milan's climate range is a practical design input: winter temperatures around 0/+5°C and summer conditions around +20/+30°C point to sealed cabinets, controlled battery environments, and hot-dip galvanized steel. The city is inland, so corrosion planning is more about urban pollution than marine salt exposure.
Flood exposure around the Seveso and Lambro corridors changes the lower-pole design. Cable entries should not be placed low in the base, and cabinet access should use raised gaskets and service loops. In this configuration, the lower 2.2 m of the SOLARTODO pole functions as the EV charging cabinet, welded into the same continuous structure instead of adding a separate sidewalk pillar.
Standards And Deployment Fit
The configuration aligns the luminaire package with IEC 60598, the AC charging interface with IEC 62196-2, and smart lighting system functions with GB/T 37024. For procurement teams, the key point is not only component compliance, but also consolidation: lighting, charging, communications, sensing, and public-address capability are specified as one vertical asset for Milan's constrained streetscape.
