The intelligent streetlight may be communicate with a network operations center (“NOC”) via the mobile communications network. In some aspects, the intelligent streetlight configures the modem to transmit on the mobile network based on multiple types of network provisioning data. For example, the modem may have a network configuration, such as a low-bandwidth mobile data plan, based on stored provisioning data. The modem may reconfigure the modem based on additional provisioning data for an additional network configuration, such as a high-bandwidth mobile data plan. In some cases, the additional provisioning data is requested by the streetlight from the NOC. In some cases, the NOC may provide the additional provisioning data to multiple intelligent streetlights, such that the multiple streetlights are each reconfigured in a short period of time. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method of configuring an intelligent streetlight to communicate on a mobile communications network, the method comprising: configuring a modem, included in the intelligent streetlight, 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; transmitting, via the configured modem, a communication on the mobile communications network; receiving, via the configured modem and from a network operations center (“NOC”), a transmission describing 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 transmitting, via the reconfigured modem, an additional communication on the mobile communications network, the transmitting based on the second mobile network provisioning data. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising: receiving, by the intelligent streetlight and from a sensor, a high-handwidth data type; and providing, to the NOC and via the configured modem, an indication that the high-bandwidth data type is available, wherein the NOC transmits the second mobile network provisioning data responsive to receiving the indication, and wherein the additional communication includes the high-bandwidth data type and is transmitted to the NOC. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the first mobile network provisioning data indicates a low-bandwidth mobile network configuration, and wherein the second mobile network provisioning data indicates a high-bandwidth mobile network configuration. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the communication includes data received from a sensor, and wherein the additional communication includes data received from a camera. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the communication includes a keep-alive indication, and is received by the NOC. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising: receiving, by the intelligent streetlight and from a sensor, a low-bandwidth data type, wherein the communication includes the low-bandwidth data type and is transmitted to the NOC. ### Claim 7 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. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The intelligent streetlight of claim 7, wherein the microprocessor is configured to perform further operations comprising: receiving, by the intelligent streetlight and from a sensor, a high-bandwidth data type; and providing, to the NOC and via the configured modem, an indication that the high-bandwidth data type is available, wherein the NOC transmits the second mobile network provisioning data responsive to receiving the indication, and wherein the second communication includes the high-bandwidth data type and is transmitted to the NOC. ### Claim 9 (depends on 7) The intelligent streetlight of claim 7, wherein the first mobile network provisioning data indicates a low-bandwidth mobile network configuration, and wherein the second mobile network provisioning data indicates a high-bandwidth mobile network configuration. ### Claim 10 (depends on 7) The intelligent streetlight of claim 7, wherein the microprocessor is configured to perform further operations comprising: configuring the lighting control module to provide a first level of light output;
