36. The utility pole of claim 32, wherein the upper pole section has at least one longitudinal third locking groove accessible by way of a third top and bottom opening and the fastening plate possesses corresponding third through hole that plugging a bolt via the third bottom opening into the third locking groove and the third through hole interlocks the upper pole section and the fastening plate.

37. The utility pole of claim 31, wherein the fastening plate has a first male protruding configuration at the bottom and the lower pole section has a first female receptive configuration that mating of the first male protruding configuration and first female receptive configuration interlock the lower pole section to the fastening plate.

38. The utility pole of claim 32, wherein the fastening plate has a first male protruding configuration at the bottom and the lower pole section has a first female receptive configuration that mating of the first male protruding configuration and first female receptive configuration interlock the lower pole section to the fastening plate.

39. The utility pole of claim 31, wherein the fastening plate has a second male protruding configuration at the top and the upper pole section has a second female receptive configuration that mating of the second male protruding configuration and second female receptive configuration interlock the upper pole section to the fastening plate.

40. The utility pole of claim 32, wherein the fastening plate has a second male protruding configuration at the top and the upper pole section has a second female receptive configuration that mating of the second male protruding configuration and second female receptive configuration interlock the upper pole section to the fastening plate.

41. The utility pole of claim 31, wherein the lower pole section has the exterior surface fabricated with one or more track for releasably attachment of one or more fixture.

42. The utility pole of claim 32, wherein the lower pole section has the exterior surface fabricated with one or more track for releasably attachment of one or more fixture.

43. The utility pole of claim 37, wherein the lower pole section has the exterior surface fabricated with one or more track for releasably attachment of one or more fixture and the track is the first female receptive configuration.
