New type of street lights

[pete01]

The VOLTSERVER thingy is upside down...just sayin

Parliament has passed it for us to switch over to our new lights and de illuminate the old lights ready for our top secret fibre optic lights.

Ssssssshhhhhhh.

Why have you got sticks of dynamite in there?

No it is designed to mount or free standing etc. it is the right way up

Are these bits still secret?

Are these bits still secret?

Yes but cannot show the full thing yet.

Yes but cannot show the full thing yet.

So the photos so far are OK to show?

Been doing radio interviews this morning whilst programming all the servers up. Also installed a 5G tower and linking that in to the control cabinet.

Yes I cannot show the main stuff as some sensitive gear in there

 

[Highway Man]

Just splicing the fibres and fusion welding them and all done. Hopefully tomorrow which is our big switch over. Be amusing if it all doesn’t work for the MPs and TV Crewe’s attending

 

[Highway Man]

Just received a personal message from American outfit to say how great it is all looking and we are on a green light to switch on.

"""Utilizing existing data pathways, leveraging hybrid fiber cable, and a smaller electrical room footprint decreases commodity costs (and more wire can be used ...""

hydrid fibre cable, electricity transmitters, electricity receivers,

I wonder what method is used to transmit the electrical along the cable. Or is the power carried on a copper pair with the control and monitoring signalling carried on the fibre

To me it seems like a re-vamp of an old and proven mature system of remote switching of power by encoded signals sent along the 230 Volt AC supply cable network.

An old system late 1960's used DTMF signaling to control up to 100 switches over several miles of existing network cable.

It is all dc no ac required. Super efficient 300 volts transformed to only 7volts per light

It is all brand new technology. A lot of investment has gone into this system into making it what it is. Revolutionary, innovative and super exciting like myself really.
