Urban infrastructure<br />
revolution for a<br />
sustainable future<br />
Urbanisation has grown at<br />
unprecedented rates in recent years<br />
with over half of the world’s population<br />
now living in urban areas. By 2050,<br />
this will grow to 86 per cent, putting<br />
tremendous demand on infrastructure, energy<br />
consumption and services. Smart leaders are<br />
pursuing innovation in urban design, technologies<br />
and services to remain competitive and sustainable.<br />
Metro Smart International (MSI) is recognised<br />
as an innovative expert in the global urban<br />
infrastructure industry. With its vibrant products<br />
and systems, the company is a breath of fresh air in<br />
a traditional industry. MSI has partnered with the<br />
world’s largest aluminium manufacturer – Sapa<br />
Pole Products, rapidly expanding its business<br />
worldwide. MSI has also established relationships<br />
with GuangDong JuHao Lighting Electrical – a<br />
leading Chinese lighting company, and other leading<br />
companies to introduce its smart technologies<br />
into China.<br />
Advocate passive safety infrastructure<br />
Nearly 1.3 million people are killed and 20-50 million<br />
injured in road accidents worldwide annually, more<br />
than 15 per cent of which is caused by collisions with<br />
rigid roadside features such<br />
as galvanised poles. Frangible<br />
or breakaway poles yield on<br />
impact, reducing the severity<br />
of vehicle-pole collisions.<br />
MSI-SAPA is working with<br />
various governments on policies<br />
and regulations to phase out<br />
conventional rigid poles and<br />
structures.<br />
Beyond rigid poles,<br />
MSI systems reshape<br />
urban streetscape<br />
into a smart future<br />
Modular infrastructure<br />
and Smart City integrator<br />
Smart Cities are a future reality for municipalities<br />
around the world that rely on a collection of integrated<br />
hardware, software and network technologies. Over<br />
the years, a plethora of single-use poles, such as sign<br />
posts, communication and car charging piles already<br />
accumulate on our streets. There is a clear need for<br />
a scalable integration platform as the urban fabric<br />
supporting the existing and evolving technologies.<br />
MSI is one of the pioneers introducing modular<br />
design to street infrastructure. The humble street<br />
pole has been revolutionised into a multifunctional<br />
technology hub. The simple to use plug-and-play<br />
allows city authorities to integrate technologies<br />
with ease. Apart from environmental and economic<br />
benefits, it offers flexibility in design, adaptiveness,<br />
and reusability.<br />
Sustainability to<br />
reduce carbon footprint<br />
MSI focuses on using<br />
sustainable aluminium which<br />
has its intrinsic uniqueness: high<br />
strength-to-weight ratio, durability,<br />
recyclability, great formability and<br />
high corrosion resistance. These<br />
superiorities significantly reduce<br />
the footprint through sustainable<br />
material, eliminating replacement,<br />
lowering maintenance costs and long lifespan.<br />
We continue to utilise our core strengths at MSI:<br />
commitments to innovation, superior design and<br />
quality, and sustainability. We are dedicated to assist<br />
city authorities and councils to create aesthetic and<br />
smart urban infrastructure that is built to last.<br />
