Landscape Forms has relaunched SHUFFLE, a modular smart-pole system designed to combine Wi-Fi, cameras, sensors, two-way communications and EV-charging capabilities in a single vertical structure. The relaunch responds to a familiar tension in public spaces: sites are adding more connected infrastructure, but often have limited room and want to avoid visual clutter and added cost.
The system is built around stackable modules. Landscape Forms says the components can be customized and updated as site needs change, allowing the pole to serve specialized environments as well as general public spaces. The integrated design is intended to bring a more modern aesthetic and operational efficiency to busy, multi-use locations.
New plug-and-play options
SHUFFLE’s updated feature set includes options intended for simpler installation and activation. According to Landscape Forms, these 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 modular approach is central to the product’s positioning. Instead of requiring separate poles for lighting, security cameras, connectivity equipment and charging, SHUFFLE consolidates them. The company says this can help site managers address a range of requirements without adding to visual clutter.
Configuration and applications
Landscape Forms has also added a build feature to its website to simplify configuration. Clients can specify preferred camera and technology brands and choose from a range of options within each category. The company did not disclose pricing or a specific availability date in the announcement.
The relaunched system is positioned for a broad set of environments, including university and business campuses, airports and commuting hubs, shopping malls and tourist areas, concert halls, city parks, sports venues and hospitals. In each case, the appeal is the ability to combine safety, connectivity and site services in one footprint.
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 site requirements evolve. She said safety and connectivity are integrated without dominating the environment, aiming to keep the system accessible and user-friendly.
Jordan Agustin, president of lighting at Landscape Forms, said SHUFFLE reflects the kind of thinking the industry needs, with technology and design working together to make outdoor spaces safer and smarter without compromising aesthetics. He said the new features enhance beauty and functionality while advancing the company’s mission of connecting people to the outdoors and to each other.
For site managers, the value proposition is consolidation: one pole type, configurable with different modules, rather than a growing collection of single-purpose fixtures. The extent to which that reduces cost or clutter will depend on site conditions and configuration, but the relaunch clearly targets the growing demand for multi-function public infrastructure.
