APPLICATIONS

Smart city

Streetlights, parking, waste and environmental sensing on shared city-wide mesh infrastructure.

← All applications

City deployments scale from a single neighborhood pilot of a few hundred nodes to city-wide rollouts in the thousands, mixing streetlight controllers, parking sensors, waste-fill sensors and air or noise monitors on shared infrastructure. Devices mesh locally and backhaul through a handful of gateways per district, instead of a modem and a data plan in every streetlight and bin. That shared backhaul is what keeps the running cost of a city-scale network manageable for a municipal budget.

Smart city street lighting sensors

THE CHALLENGE

Thousands of small devices spread across a city make per-device SIM connectivity costly to run.

THE MESH SOLUTION

Devices form neighborhood meshes that backhaul through a handful of gateways.

TYPICAL DEVICES

  • Streetlight controllers
  • Parking sensors
  • Waste-fill sensors
  • Noise / air monitors
