A Creative Way to Enable
Smart City IoT with LoRaWAN
For Street Lights
SITUATION
Smart city infrastructure requires a holistic approach that
considers the inter-dependencies among different sectors
and stakeholders.
It also requires a robust data infrastructure that enables
the collection, analysis, and sharing of data across various
platforms. By investing in smart city infrastructure
development and monitoring, cities can leverage
technology to address their most pressing challenges
while also enhancing their sustainability and resilience.
BENEFITS
Deploying gateways for LoRaWAN
in street lighting infrastructure
provides a dense 2-km network radius of coverage, with simple and
cost-efficient deployment.
The KONA Micro Gateways also provide deep penetration coverage
characteristics, which allows for smooth data transfer in dense urban
areas.
2023 USE CASE
SOLUTION
Felicity and TEKTELIC Communications have partnered to
deploy TEKTELIC's KONA Micro Gateways into available
streetlighting fixtures. The solution utilizes LoRaWAN®
coverage to ensure data can be gathered cost-effectively and
optimally when needed.
KONA Micro Gateways provide reliable 'always on'
connectivity thanks to an integrated battery backup. This
reassures Felicity and its clients that data will continue to be
collected, even in the event of a power outage. The gateways
are also designed to help customers achieve the lowest total
cost of ownership with carrier-grade performance and high
scalability.
CHALLENGE
When it comes to implementing gateways for LoRaWAN
in
smart city street lighting, one of the main challenges for cities
is how to ensure reliable and cost-effective connectivity for a
wide range of applications.
Another challenge is how to manage smart city IoT solutions.
Cities need a platform that can enable remote monitoring,
device control, data analytics, and data visualization.
