Landscape Forms has relaunched SHUFFLE, a modular pole system that combines Wi-Fi, cameras, sensors, two-way communications and electric-vehicle charging in a single vertical structure. The company presents the product as an answer to public spaces that keep adding single-purpose hardware — pole sensors, cameras, lighting and connectivity equipment — in places where room is at a premium.
Rather than spreading those functions across several fixtures, SHUFFLE stacks them on one pole. Landscape Forms says the approach lets municipalities, campuses and commercial developers expand what a site can do without adding visual clutter or extra cost. The modular components are designed for customization and later adaptation, and the integrated design is intended to bring a modern look and operating efficiency to busy, multi-use environments.
Configuration and feature set
Configuration has also been simplified through a new build feature on the company's website, where clients can specify preferred camera and technology brands and choose among the options offered within each. The latest feature updates are designed for plug-and-play simplicity, according to the company, and include a 360-degree area light, a decorative light ring, a 180-degree area light, quad-view and 180-degree cameras, motion sensors, and loudspeaker and intercom modules.
“This is the solution site designers have been waiting for,” said Shannon Lee, Business Development Manager for Smart Poles at Schréder. Lee said SHUFFLE was designed to fit the needs of any busy public space with product and feature sets that can be updated as a site's requirements evolve, and that safety and connectivity are integrated into outdoor spaces without dominating them, keeping the system accessible and user friendly.
Where the system is intended to be used
The modular design allows SHUFFLE to be configured for specialized environments as well as general public space. Landscape Forms lists university and business campuses, airports and commuting hubs, shopping malls and tourist areas, concert halls, city parks, sports venues and hospitals among the settings where the combination of multiple functions and robust communication features is meant to help site managers handling a range of requirements.
Jordan Agustin, President of Lighting at Landscape Forms, framed the relaunch as an example of technology and design working together to make outdoor spaces safer and smarter without compromising aesthetics. He said the features and capabilities built into the streamlined design enhance the beauty and functionality of outdoor space while advancing the company's stated mission of connecting people to the outdoors and to each other.
