mPoles:AI-Enabled Smart Poles for Safer Cities
Transform ordinary streetlights into multi-functional safety and connectivity hubs. Each mPole integrates adaptive LED lighting, 360° HD surveillance, emergency SOS, environmental sensors and public Wi-Fi — creating safer, smarter cities.
All-in-One Safety Hub
Every mPole combines multiple technologies into a single smart infrastructure unit.
Key Features

- Energy efficient
Real-Time Surveillance
Integrated 360° HD cameras with night vision and AI video analytics.
- 360° HD coverage
- Night vision
- AI anomaly detection
Emergency SOS
Built-in panic button and intercom for direct communication with operators.
- One-touch panic button
- Two-way intercom
- Multilingual support
Public Connectivity
Free public Wi-Fi hotspot with environmental and motion sensors.
- Free Wi-Fi access
- Air quality sensors
- Temperature monitoring
Instant Alerts
GPS-tagged alerts with live video feed to police and city command center.
- GPS-tagged alerts
- Live video streaming
- Siren & strobe activation
How It Works
mPoles function as part of a fully connected city-wide safety network, enabling 24×7 monitoring and rapid response through seamless ICCC integration.
Continuous Monitoring
Cameras, LEDs and sensors constantly scan the area in real time.
Event Detection
Any motion, anomaly or SOS button press immediately activates the system.
Real-Time Alerts to ICCC
Live video, GPS coordinates, sirens and strobes pushed to ICCC.
Two-Way Communication
Command center operators talk directly to citizens via intercom.
Rapid Response
Nearest response team dispatched with real-time location and video.
Incident Closure
All data logged for analytics and future-prevention measures.
Why Cities Need Smart Poles
Urban areas face critical safety challenges that mPoles directly address — turning dark, unmonitored areas into actively managed safe zones.
Dark, Unsafe Areas
Adaptive lighting ensures well-lit streets 24/7
Slow Emergency Response
Real-time alerts cut response time dramatically
No Instant SOS
One-touch panic button with direct operator link
Surveillance Gaps
Integrated CCTV with centralized monitoring
Lack of Data
Continuous data for hotspot identification
Benefits
mPoles deliver value to both citizens and city administration — enhancing public safety while enabling efficient, data-driven governance.
For Citizens
- Safer public spaces with constant monitoring
- Immediate help via two-way communication
- Enhanced confidence for night-time mobility
- Free public Wi-Fi access
Enhanced safety gives women, children, seniors, commuters and tourists greater confidence to move around at night. Well-lit, monitored roads deter crime and make travel safer.
For City Administration
- Centralized citywide surveillance via ICCC
- Faster incident management with auto-detection
- Lower operating costs with smart lighting
- Data-driven governance with analytics
Deploying mPoles helps cities meet Smart City Mission requirements and women's safety mandates, strengthening government and community trust through regulatory compliance.
Government Funding & Deployment
mPoles are easy to fund and deploy under existing Indian government safety schemes including the Nirbhaya Fund (for women's safety), Ministry of Home Affairs' Umbrella Scheme, and state/ULB Smart City budgets.
What is a Smart Pole?
A smart pole is a streetlight pole upgraded with technology such as LED lighting, CCTV cameras, emergency SOS buttons, sirens and connectivity. Instead of only lighting a street, it becomes a safety and data point for the city.
mPoles are AI-enabled smart poles built by Manacle. When a citizen presses the SOS button, live video, GPS coordinates and alerts are pushed to the city’s Integrated Command and Control Centre (ICCC), helping authorities respond faster and making public spaces safer. mPoles is one of Manacle’s smart city solutions, alongside Citizen Connect, and can be deployed as smart city poles across public spaces.
