[0002] With the rapid development of intelligent transportation systems, the demand for remote monitoring and management of traffic lighting devices is increasing. Existing traffic lighting devices have some shortcomings in application, especially when using wireless communication technologies such as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.

[0003] While Wi-Fi technology is fast and convenient, its transmission distance is relatively short, typically between 10 and 200 meters, making it suitable for connections between devices within a local area network. This may be insufficient to cover large monitoring areas in intelligent transportation systems, leading to susceptibility to interference and signal attenuation. Furthermore, Wi-Fi consumes relatively high power, which may make it unsuitable for devices requiring long-term operation, increasing maintenance costs and energy consumption.

[0004] Bluetooth Low Energy technology typically has a transmission range of only tens of meters, which may not be enough to cover large traffic monitoring areas, and may be insufficient in scenarios with large-scale node access.

[0005] Furthermore, many places need to securely and quickly transmit other local intelligent transportation data to remote locations tens of kilometers away. However, transmitting via the Internet presents problems such as high latency and potential security vulnerabilities.
