Modifiable network operations in a streetlight control node

An intelligent streetlight configured to communicate on a mobile communications network, the intelligent streetlight comprising:

• a lighting control module;
• a modem;
• and
• a microprocessor,
• wherein the microprocessor is configured to perform operations comprising:
• configuring the modem to communicate on the mobile communications network, wherein the modem is configured based on first mobile network provisioning data indicating a low-bandwidth mobile network configuration;
• providing, to the configured modem, a first communication for transmission on the mobile communications network;
• receiving, via the configured modem and from a network operations center (“NOC”), second mobile network provisioning data indicating a high-bandwidth mobile network configuration;
• reconfiguring the modem to communicate on the mobile communications network, wherein the modem is reconfigured based on the second mobile network provisioning data;
• and
• providing, to the reconfigured modem, a second communication for transmission on the mobile communications network, the reconfigured modem configured to transmit the second communication based on the second mobile network provisioning data.

A system for configuring an intelligent streetlight for communicating on a mobile communications network, the system comprising:

• a network operations center (“NOC”);
• and
• at least one intelligent streetlight, wherein the NOC and the intelligent streetlight are each configured to communicate via a mobile communications network,
• wherein the NOC is configured to perform operations comprising:
• providing, to the intelligent streetlight, first provisioning data indicating a low-bandwidth mobile network configuration;
• receiving, from the intelligent streetlight and via the low-bandwidth mobile network configuration, an indication that a high-bandwidth data type is available for transmission;
• providing, to the intelligent streetlight and responsive to the indication, second provisioning data indicating a high-bandwidth mobile network configuration;
• and
• receiving, from the intelligent streetlight and via the high-bandwidth mobile network configuration, a high-bandwidth transmission including the high-bandwidth data type.
