Airport environments place unique demands on lighting infrastructure. Alongside strict operational and safety requirements, airport operators are increasingly looking for solutions that can improve efficiency, simplify maintenance and support the wider passenger experience.
Pedestrian crossings are among the most safety-critical points on any road network and can be some of the hardest areas to light well.
Choosing the right lighting column for UK street lighting schemes requires more than selecting a compliant product. Street lighting is often judged by what people can see. The light, the uniformity, the way a space feels after dark. But the real story often sits beneath it. The column.
Sustainability is now part of almost every conversation in infrastructure, but what it means in practice can vary widely. At CU Phosco, the focus has been on taking a measured, realistic approach, building on decades of engineering experience while adapting to new expectations around carbon and environmental performance.
As the southern hemisphere moves into darker evenings and cities evolve to meet ambitious sustainability goals, one area is quietly coming into sharper focus: how we light the night.
A view from Mobile World Congress 2026: Insights from Keith Henry, General Manager at CU Phosco Australia and Telecommunications
In March 2026, the CU Phosco Telecommunications Team attended Mobile World Congress 2026, highlighting the vital role that innovative infrastructure plays in enabling reliable, high-performance mobile connectivity.
When it comes to high mast lighting, long-term performance is defined not by initial installation alone, but by how safely, reliably, and cost-effectively the system operates over decades. This is where CU Phosco’s self-sustaining winch technology delivers a clear advantage.
High masts are long-term infrastructure assets. Across airports, ports, highways and major industrial sites, they provide reliable high-level illumination over large operational areas. Many of these structures were designed with decades of service in mind, and, structurally, they continue to perform exactly as intended. When that happens, asset owners face a decision. Do you replace the entire high mast, including steelwork and foundations, or upgrade the operational system within the existing structure?
