How LoRa & LoRaWAN Helps Smart Cities

Smart cities require realtime visibility into every aspect of urban life. To achieve this, smart cities typically utilize widearea wireless networks to enable connectivity between vast networks of disparate datagenerating IoT devices, sensors, and smart meters. LoRaWAN wireless technology is the best IoT solution for smart city-wide applications. Using IoT technology and various smart devices to visualize and analyze comprehensive real-time data, cities can respond dynamically by optimizing asset utilization and city resource allocation. Cities can integrate IoT into their infrastructure to automate tasks, monitor and manage equipment, and perform predictive maintenance to reduce operating costs. Cities around the world can optimize utility and employee usage by integrating city services such as:

l Street lighting

l Smart parking

l Waste management

l Water Level and Flood Management

l Smart public transport

l Air quality control

l Street cleaning

l Logistics/Transportation Management

Thanks to LoRaWANbased IoT solutions, supply chain and logistics companies are successfully tracking highvalue assets, including those in transit. Thanks to the technology's excellent range, low power consumption and GPSfree positioning, vehicles, cargo and other supports can be easily tracked over wide geographic areas and harsh environments. Fleet monitoring IoT solutions using LoRaWAN connectivity can save money by allowing fleets to stay on the road longer, improve fuel economy, improve safety, provide visibility into maintenance issues, and improve overall operational efficiency.
