They serve multiple functions, including 5G communication, environmental monitoring and intelligent transportation.

The lamps are also in operation in Chengdu. Based on the lamps, Huati Lighting Technology has also developed a series of smart city application scenarios and services. Its smart roadside parking system has been piloted in Chengdu’s Shuangliu district, and the smart greenway system has been applied in the city’s Jincheng Greenway.

Under the Chengdu municipal government’s guidance to build a “Smart Chengdu”, an increasing number of intelligent technology products and smart city application scenarios have been applied, changing people’s way of production and life.

Since July 2022, the first batch of eight autopilot taxis has been in demonstrative operation at the Singapore-Sichuan Hi-tech Innovation Park, providing citizens with an intelligent driving experience.

In Chengdu’s Xindu district, Micronet Union Technology (Chengdu) Co Ltd and China Mobile have jointly built Sichuan province’s first “5G Smart Factory” demonstration project. Through the deployment of 5G smart applications, this factory realizes innovation in intelligent manufacturing.
