1. An outdoor luminaire for a streetlight comprising:
a luminaire housing comprising a light exit window and a first heatsink comprising a first set of fins;
a light source positioned in the luminaire housing between said light exit window and said first heatsink, and configured to emit light through the light exit window;
a canopy comprising an upper portion that covers a portion of an uppermost surface of the luminaire housing and a side portion configured to connect the upper portion of the canopy to the luminaire housing to thereby form a canopy enclosure;
an antenna system housed by the canopy enclosure, for transmitting and/or receiving wireless signals;
a wireless module housed by the canopy enclosure, communicatively coupled to the antenna system and configured to control the transmission of transmitted wireless signals by the antenna system and/or process receiving wireless signals received at the antenna system; and
a second heatsink at least partly housed by the canopy enclosure, in thermal contact with the wireless module,
wherein:
a portion of the first set of fins is housed by the canopy enclosure;
the upper portion and/or side portion of the canopy comprise one or more air inlets, for allowing the passage of external air into the canopy, and one or more air outlets for allowing the passage of internal air, being external air drawn through the air inlets and heated by the first and/or second heatsinks, out of the canopy; and
the first set of fins is configured to extend toward the upper portion of the canopy,
wherein the antenna system comprises:
a planar element mechanically connected to the first heatsink and arranged to cover a top of a portion of the first set of fins, and
one or more antenna modules for transmitting and/or receiving the wireless signals for the wireless module, each antenna module being electrically connected to the wireless module,
wherein for each antenna module an antenna mount is configured to support the antenna module, and
where each antenna mount is integrally formed with the planar element.
