Abstract :
Deploying backhaul in smart street furniture, such as light poles, billboards or information kiosks, sets new requirements and constraints as compared to traditional line of sight deployment. The problems of antenna alignment in non-line-of-sight conditions, suitable antennas for automatic alignment and the added complexity of an outer enclosure are discussed.
