A lighting system is designed to include (i) primary lighting fixtures at a poletop position to provide primary lighting at a target area so to ensure specific light levels, lighting uniformity, or the like needed to adequately perform specific tasks during nighttime or low ambient light conditions; and (ii) secondary lighting fixtures at a mounted position on the same pole, but other than poletop, to provide targeted lighting on the pole itself rather than the target area. A method of providing enhanced spectator experience through theatrical effects is achieved by varying intensity, color, duty cycle, or other operating characteristics of the secondary lighting fixtures, including coordination with the primary lighting fixtures to provide multi-dimensional theatrical effects at or near a poletop location.

Apparatus, method, and system for theatrical lighting of poles or other structures from a mounted position on the pole or other structure

Methods, apparatus, and systems to control remote devices or equipment via existing cellular telephone networks wherein information from a customer concerning a specific function is communicated and performed at the remote equipment. To achieve this, a Central Control receives information from the customer and correlates it to a specific cellular telephone MIN number which has been pre-programmed. The MIN number is then sent to a cellular provider. The cellular provider then transmits the MIN number to an antenna, which transmits the MIN number to a remote equipment controller at the remotely located equipment. The remote equipment controller then takes a part of the MIN and gives these numbers to a PLC at the remote equipment controller. The PLC then memory maps part of the MIN to a specific function to be carried out by the remote equipment controller, and the specific function is carried out.

Means and apparatus for control of remote electronic devices

An apparatus to control remote devices or equipment via existing cellular telephone networks. The apparatus receives information from a customer concerning a specific function, which the customer wants to perform at the remote equipment. A Central Control receives this information from the customer and correlates the function to a specific cellular telephone MIN number, which has been pre-programmed in a computer at the Central Control. The MIN number is then sent to a cellular provider. The cellular provider then transmits the MIN number to an antenna, which transmits the MIN number to a remote equipment controller at the remotely located equipment. The remote equipment controller then takes the a part of the MIN and gives these numbers to a PLC at the remote equipment controller. The PLC then memory maps the part of the MIN to a specific function to be carried out by the remote equipment controller. Then the remote equipment controller carriers out specified functions at the remote equipment.
