Separate proprietary networks for every application
How do we solve it?
Plan → Build → Onboard → Operate
What technologies do we use?
LoRaWAN, LPWAN, LoRaWAN downlink (Class C), MQTT, REST API
What can we integrate?
City operations centres, Utility SCADA, GIS, Billing systems

The problem

City-scale networks for streetlights, water, waste and air

  • Separate proprietary networks for every application
  • Streetlights with no fault reporting or dimming control
  • Manual reading of distributed meters and tanks
  • Limited outdoor environmental data

Our approach

How we solve it

  1. 1

    Plan

    Coverage planning and gateway site selection for districts or communities.

  2. 2

    Build

    Private or shared LoRaWAN network with redundant backhaul.

  3. 3

    Onboard

    Streetlight controllers, meters and sensors from multiple vendors.

  4. 4

    Operate

    Central monitoring, maintenance and multi-application data services.

FAQ

Smart City & Utilities — questions

Can one LoRaWAN network serve several departments?

Yes. A multi-tenant network server lets multiple applications and organisations share the same gateways while keeping their data separate.
