Recreational Vehicle (RV) parks in the United States are increasingly seeking new solutions to improve efficiency and sustainability, while offering users a more modern, safe and connected experience. Most park owners envision offering reliable internet connections, security cameras and even EV charging stations (with the growth of e-mobility) for all their sites.

However, traditional wiring solutions are always costly and visually unappealing, thereby disrupting the park's natural beauty. Streetlights offer ready access to reliable AC power that can be converted to any form (AC/DC) depending on equipment requirements.



Benefits of deploying Wireless Access Points (Wi-Fi APs) using Streetlights:
  1. Wide Coverage and Accessibility: Utilizes strategically placed streetlights for broad and uniform Wi-Fi coverage, beneficial for RV users accessing the internet across different areas.
  2. Power Efficiency: Leverages existing streetlight power sources, reducing the need for new infrastructure and offering cost savings and environmental benefits.
  3. Improved Connectivity for Mobile Users: Enhances internet access for RV users, filling gaps in coverage in RV parks and public areas with unreliable Wi-Fi signals.
  4. Cost-effective Deployment: More economical than installing new structures, making broadband expansion feasible, especially in rural or underserved areas.
  5. Enhanced Public Safety: Provides a platform for emergency services and public announcements, ensuring RV users receive timely updates on local conditions.
  6. Scalability and Flexibility: Allows easy addition of Wi-Fi APs to meet growing community needs without significant infrastructure changes.
  7. Smart City Integration: Steps towards smart city development, offering RV users access to services like real-time traffic updates and smart parking.
  8. Community Services: Boosts services like libraries, schools, and local businesses by providing additional internet access points, especially where home internet is lacking.
  9. Overall Benefit: Leverages existing streetlight infrastructure for widespread, cost-effective internet access, enhancing the experience for all residents and visitors, including RV travelers
By leveraging the existing infrastructure of streetlights, cities can provide widespread internet access in a cost-effective manner, enhancing the experience for residents and visitors alike, including those living in or visiting with RVs.
