03 · Devices & protocols
- Waste level sensors
- Single / double pole LoRaWAN streetlight controllers
- Outdoor air-quality sensors
- Outdoor LoRaWAN gateways
04 · Integration
- Route planning export
- Lighting schedules via downlink
- Operations dashboard
05 · Results
- One network for several applications
- Data-driven waste collection
- Remote streetlight fault visibility
