The UbiHub AP/AI provides Wi-Fi, street analytics, situational awareness video and network streetlighting controls in a platform that is disruptively simple and cost-effective to deploy. The platform plugs into the photocell socket at the top of streetlights within seconds, is nearly invisible from the street, and costs between 42% to 67% less than traditional methods of deploying the same applications. The industrial design team focused on creating a sleek and functional design that delivers advanced technology capabilities, while meeting demanding environmental and aesthetic requirements.[2]
