Landscape Forms has relaunched SHUFFLE, a modular smart-pole system that consolidates Wi-Fi, cameras, sensors, two-way communications and EV charging into a single vertical structure. The company said the relaunch responds to rising customer expectations, as public spaces continue to add single-purpose pole-mounted sensors, cameras, lighting and connectivity equipment in places where space is at a premium.
According to Landscape Forms, municipalities, campuses and commercial developers are looking for ways to expand site functionality without adding visual clutter or additional cost. SHUFFLE is positioned to meet that demand by gathering advanced capabilities into one adaptable system rather than spreading them across separate poles.
Modular components and configuration
The system stacks its functions into a vertical pole that the company describes as easy to activate and install. Modular components are intended to allow customization and future adaptability, while the integrated design aims to bring modern aesthetics and efficiencies to busy, multi-use environments.
Landscape Forms has also simplified configuration with a new build feature on its website. Clients can specify preferred camera and technology brands and choose among a range of options within each.
“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 busy public spaces with product and feature sets that can be updated as site needs evolve, adding that safety and connectivity are integrated into outdoor spaces without dominating them, which she said keeps the system accessible and user friendly.
New plug-and-play features
Feature updates include options designed for plug-and-play simplicity: 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.
- Area lighting in 360-degree and 180-degree configurations, plus a decorative light ring
- Quad-view and 180-degree camera options
- Motion sensors for detecting activity around the pole
- Loudspeaker and intercom modules for two-way communication
The modular design allows SHUFFLE to be configured for specialized environments as well as 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's multi-use adaptability and communication features are intended to apply.
Company positioning
“SHUFFLE represents exactly the kind of thinking our industry needs: technology and design working together to make outdoor spaces safer and smarter without compromising aesthetics,” said Jordan Agustin, President of Lighting at Landscape Forms. Agustin said the new features and capabilities integrated into SHUFFLE's streamlined design enhance both the beauty and functionality of outdoor space, while advancing the company's stated mission of connecting people to the outdoors and to each other.
The relaunch places SHUFFLE among integrated infrastructure options for site managers juggling a range of requirements — lighting, security, connectivity and EV charging — within a single footprint. Landscape Forms frames the value around consolidation: fewer separate poles and devices in space-constrained public areas, with the option to update feature modules as a site's needs change.
