Report Title: Wi-Fi & LoRaWAN ® deployment synergies Issue Date: September 2019 Version: 1.0. final version 47 LoRa Alliance & Wireless Broadband Alliance Confidential & Proprietary Copyright © 2019 supervisory control and data acquisition. This last mile technology allowed Calgary to avoid monthly service expenses, including leased lines from carriers, and optimized asset tracking for its 3345 city vehicles. The city of Calgary has evolved over the past two decades into the most innovative cities in Canada. In this white paper [33], City of Calgary explores implementation of LoRaWAN ® use cases. NomoSense: counting, flow analysis and geolocation solution provider [37] Counting and analyzing a location attendance is an essential information for all companies or territorial collectivities who are facing massive public attendance. Various sensor's solutions exist and are deployed: infrared sensors, video analytics, carpet… These devices require a specific installation while source of information is generally available since several years through Wi-Fi infrastructure. NomoSense proposes to mix all these solutions to capitalize on an existing Wi-Fi infrastructure. In the modern world, mobility is a crucial issue. Daily, public or private location owners (venues, cities, touristic places, malls…) see increasing people flows in a constant unrespectable trend. So, it is necessary to track in real time these flows to adapt the strategic site configurations (road works, station, venues…). Moreover, flow monitoring methods have been strongly improved and refined in terms of accuracy in the recent years. Since the emergence of Wi-Fi in 90's, more and more devices have been connected through this technology and nowadays most smartphones are using Wi-Fi 24h/24. Recently, LoRaWAN ® technology has enabled new Low Power Sensors, complementary to Wi-Fi. Moving flow analysis through Wi-Fi Counting, flow analysis and geolocation is a solution able to keep track of people flows across specific areas (venue, city areas…), based on Wi-Fi device tracking (smartphone, computer, laptop gaming device…). The collected data is anonymized to be compliant with regulation and is processed through NomoSense platform to display key primary indicators. Thanks to NomoSense, the location stakeholders can analyze moving flows bringing game changing capabilities: • User counting to track the numbers of visitors or attendees. • Trace general movement flows to collect information and optimize public / private locations configuration and create heat maps to show the most frequented locations. • Detect crowd unexpected movements to improve people safety. Counting flows through LoRaWAN ® sensors Each organization can deploy analysis and counting sensors. These sensors will help for a more detailed view of any location. NomoSense mixes different types of LoRaWAN ® sensors depending of the information needed: (bicycles, cars, trucks, or people) counting. Based on data collection, a public infrastructure owner like a train station can leverage this solution for reinforcing safety, optimizing local network and reducing environment impact, by bringing accurate information … A local authority can use this for optimizing and reducing traffic, optimizing public transit usage and place configuration…
