BluePillar allows traditional lampposts to function as 4G/5G BTS signal repeaters or electric vehicle charging points. The solution can also collect local data on weather, the environment, transportation, and safety, while its large outdoor LED screen can be used to display information and advertising.

The BluePillar solution consists of ZTE's BlueBox charging pillar, iMacro 4G base station, smart controller, and smart street light, all fully integrated into a single product. It makes full use of the existing street light pillar and blends seamlessly into the surrounding environment. This solution not only addresses the challenges of 4G network deployment but also enables the construction of Wi-Fi networks, environmental monitoring, security, and data collection management at hotspots. It
also offers opportunities for outdoor advertising, as well as the simultaneous display of municipal information and other value-added services. This solution could reduce unit costs and increase the business density of each site, benefiting operators acquiring the space while minimizing the impact on the planet, electricity, and other resources. Local governments, operators, citizens, and electric vehicle owners will all benefit from this solution. For example, operators could expand their business scope and transition from traditional telecommunications operations to comprehensive data services in cities.

The innovative integration of the solution, including the BTS, street light, and charging pillar, along with its ability to charge electric vehicles, makes it a convenient solution for telecommunications tower companies. ZTE's BluePillar solution could solve internet connectivity problems along highways and in communities, as well as make streetlights smart and interconnected through information exchanged via their BTSs.
