In a groundbreaking move to enhance public safety, the city of Hogansville, Georgia, has become the first in the United States to install LG CNS’s innovative smart poles. Equipped with advanced IT technology, these smart poles are set to transform Hogansville’s approach to safety, surveillance, and environmental monitoring, marking a significant step toward building a smarter, safer, more connected city. The project has been made possible through the investment of Moveret, a forward-thinking company dedicated to providing cutting-edge solutions that improve communities. The partnership between LG CNS, Moveret, and Hogansville signals the beginning of a new era in smart city development, with future innovations in public infrastructure on the horizon. The smart poles are much more than traditional streetlights. Integrated with various sensors and even EV charger, they’re designed to enhance public safety by providing real-time data that aids in surveillance, air quality monitoring, and even flood detection. One of the most impactful features is the emergency button integrated into each pole, enabling residents to instantly alert emergency responders when they feel unsafe. A single press of the button connects directly to local emergency dispatch, ensuring a fast and efficient response. This feature aims to reduce emergency response times and provide a sense of security for residents, knowing help is just a button away.
Hogansville’s installation of LG CNS’s smart poles positions the city as a pioneer in adopting advanced technology to improve public safety and urban living. As the first city in the nation to implement this system, Hogansville is setting a powerful precedent for other cities across the country. Mayor Jake Ayers expressed excitement about the city’s role in this innovation: “This is just the beginning. We are thrilled to be the first city to embrace this cutting-edge technology. With the support of LG CNS and Moveret, we’re taking an important step toward a safer, more connected future for our residents.” The installation of these smart poles is just the start of a larger vision for Hogansville’s future. City officials are already planning to expand the project to other neighborhoods and are exploring the possibility of bringing similar initiatives to nearby cities. With LG CNS’s advanced technology in the project, the collaboration promises to have a far-reaching impact on the development of Georgia’s urban infrastructure. The smart poles are not just a technological upgrade; they are part of a broader movement to create a smarter, safer, and more efficient future for Georgia’s cities. As more municipalities begin to adopt these innovations, Hogansville’s pioneering role sets the stage for a new wave of smart city projects that will continue to shape the state—and the nation—well into the future.
