Landscape Forms has relaunched SHUFFLE, a modular infrastructure system that consolidates Wi-Fi, cameras, sensors, two-way communications and electric-vehicle charging into a single vertical pole. The company said public spaces have continued to add single-purpose pole sensors, cameras, lighting and connectivity equipment in areas where space is limited, increasing demand for fully integrated multi-function infrastructure. The relaunch is aimed at municipalities, campuses and commercial developers seeking more site functionality without adding visual clutter or extra cost, according to Landscape Forms.
The system is built around stackable components that can be customized and updated as site requirements change. Landscape Forms said the integrated approach is intended to bring modern aesthetics and operational efficiencies to busy, multi-use environments while keeping the pole easy to activate and install.
Configuration and plug-and-play modules
Landscape Forms has added a build feature to its website to simplify configuration. Clients can specify preferred camera and technology brands and select among options within each category. New feature updates 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. The company describes these additions as designed for plug-and-play simplicity.
Shannon Lee, business development manager for smart poles at Schréder, said the system was designed to meet the needs of busy public spaces with product and feature sets that can be updated as a site evolves. She said safety and connectivity should be integrated into outdoor spaces without dominating them, making the system accessible and user-friendly.
Applications and design intent
SHUFFLE’s modular design can be configured for both specialized environments and general public spaces. 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 system is intended to provide security and convenience for people who gather to work, travel, study and recreate.
Jordan Agustin, president of Lighting at Landscape Forms, said the relaunch reflects an approach in which technology and design work together to make outdoor spaces safer and smarter without compromising aesthetics. He said the integrated features are intended to enhance the beauty and functionality of outdoor space while advancing the company’s mission of connecting people to the outdoors and to each other.
