    Based on the shape, at first I it thought was one of the new mesh network streetlights, but after zooming in more I think you’re right, it looks like an antenna box for a wireless metering network.

      Sorry but how does making mesh network streetlights help anything? What’s up with the normal ones?

        Cities still need a way of knowing when streetlights burn out or are in need of service.

        You can wait for people to report them out, hope the report is accurate, and then send workers out to try and find them and fix them (and it’s not exactly easy to figure out which light is burnt out during the day), or you can proactively send workers out to fix exactly the right light as soon as they break or show any signs that they might.

          True I suppose i didn’t think of that, I guess it’ll save companies money.
