plurality of luminaires and the plurality of street devices are connected; and the at least one remote processor and the at least one secondary processor are connected to the cloud; wherein the plurality of luminaires and the plurality of street devices are controlled in a plurality of functional modes. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An outdoor luminaire device comprising: at least one light-emitting diode (LED) lamp, a communication module configured to communicate with a drone, a drone docking station configured to dock the drone, and a controller configured to: control the at least one LED lamp according to at least one of a desired functional mode or based on the communication with the at least one drone, and control the drone docking station so as to dock the drone. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The outdoor luminaire device of claim 1, further comprising an App Engine configured to: download a software application, and run the downloaded software application to at least one of: control the drone docking station so as to dock the drone, and cause the controller to control the at least one LED lamp based on the communication with the at least one drone. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The outdoor luminaire device of claim 1, further comprising a beacon configured to send one or more electromagnetic signals to guide the drone. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The outdoor luminaire device of claim 1, wherein the controller is configured to control the at least one LED lamp to generate a marking detectable by the drone to guide the drone. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The outdoor luminaire device of claim 1, further comprising a sensor configured to sense that the drone has landed on the drone docking station, and wherein the drone docking station is configured to alternately lock and release the drone and wherein the controller is configured to control the lock and release of the drone. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The outdoor luminaire device of claim 1, wherein the controller is configured to control one or more illumination parameters of the at least one LED lamp in accordance with drone illumination requirements. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The outdoor luminaire device of claim 6, wherein the controller is configured to control the one or more illumination parameters of the at least one LED lamp in coordination with at least one of controllers of other luminaire devices or a main control and management subsystem. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The outdoor luminaire device of claim 1, wherein the drone docking station comprises a power interface connected to a power supply to charge one or batteries of the drone. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The outdoor luminaire device of claim 1, wherein the controller is configured to identify the drone based on at least one of signals being received from one or more sensor connected to the controller or the communication of the drone. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The outdoor luminaire device of claim 1, further comprising an elevator, wherein the controller is configured to control the elevator to: receive a package from the drone being docked on the drone docketing station, lower the package to the ground level, lock the package, and release the package upon identification of an authorized person. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The outdoor luminaire device of claim 1, further comprising an elevator, wherein the controller is configured to control the elevator to: receive a package from an authorized person upon identification of the authorized person, elevate the package to the drone docketing station level, ick the package, and cause the drone being docked on the drone docketing station to receive the package. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The outdoor luminaire device of claim 1, comprising or connected to one or more sensors configured to measure one or more parameters, and wherein the controller is configured to perform one or more actions based on the one or more measured parameters. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) An outdoor luminaire system comprising: a first plurality of drones, and a second plurality of outdoor luminaire devices each according to claim 1, being arranged in an outdoor area. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The outdoor luminaire system of claim 13, wherein the controllers of at least a portion of outdoor luminaire device of the second plurality of outdoor luminaire devices are configured to control an air traffic of at least a portion of drones of the first plurality of drones. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The outdoor luminaire system of claim 14, wherein the controllers of at least a portion of outdoor luminaire device of the second plurality of outdoor luminaire devices are configured to control the air traffic of at least a portion of drones of the first plurality of drones in coordination at least one of a main control and management subsystem or with each other. ### Claim 16 (depends on 13) The outdoor luminaire system of claim 13, wherein the air traffic control comprises selection of routes for at least a portion of drones of the first plurality of drones. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) The outdoor luminaire system of claim 16, wherein the air traffic control comprises prioritization of at least a portion of drones over other drones of the first plurality of drones. ### Claim 18 (depends on 13) The outdoor luminaire system of claim 13, wherein the at least a portion of outdoor luminaire devices of the second plurality of outdoor luminaire devices being configured to transmit navigation beacon signals, and wherein one or more drones of the first plurality of drones being configured to receive the navigation beacon signals and navigate in the outdoor area based on the navigation beacon signals. ### Claim 19 (depends on 13) The outdoor luminaire system of claim 13, wherein one or more drones of the first plurality of drones being configured to connect one or more outdoor luminaire devices of the second plurality of outdoor luminaire devices to a network using their respective communication modules. ### Claim 20 (depends on 13) The outdoor luminaire system of claim 13, wherein at least a portion of drones of the
