SOLUTIONS THAT SCALE
PARTNERSHIP & DEPLOYMENT
Member name: MultiTech
Member name: Nobel Parking, PNI Sensors, Helium
Location(s): Huntington Park, CA USA
Huntington Park, CA USA
Type of devices deployed:
Over 1,700 devices and 18+ gateways
The city wanted to get rid of manually paying spots and the city
enforcement also needs a better way to track and let customers
easily pay. Cities worldwide will learn from the City of
Huntington's implementation and there is no better proof point to
its effectiveness than seeing it in action. The expanding
accessibility of LoRa® devices has allowed businesses to
increase efficiencies, and in turn, reduce operating costs.
SOLUTION
Nobel's vision was a system that utilized sensors that would
send sensor data to users via a user-friendly application. The
city at the onset suggested utilizing LoRaWAN®, a Low
Power Wide Area (LPWA) networking protocol designed to
wirelessly connect battery operated 'things' to the internet,
and services that support it. They also had specific wireless
and gateway provider recommendations. Early in the process,
it was determined that the Helium Network, the largest, public
LoRaWAN network in the world, would be their choice for the
wireless network and MultiTech as its ideal gateway provider.
"We knew early on that utilizing LoRaWAN was our best
course of action. Helium is one hundred percent compatible
with MultiTech's gateways, so it really was a perfect fit." said
Nobel Parking.
VALUE OF COLLABORATION
Looking forward to the future, Nobel intends to develop
additional solutions that utilize the MultiTech Conduit IP67
Base Station with Helium in new markets such as water
utilities and health and sewer monitoring, to name a few. "It
has really given us the ability to easily setup a LoRaWAN
network with minimal configuration and the possibilities for
innovation utilizing this combined solution are endless."
