Smart Town - building a city network with LoRaWAN

In the development of a city into a Smart Town, the LoRaWAN offers a good complement to mobile communications. All applications that do not consume large amounts of data can run over the city's own machine network. In contrast to the use of the mobile phone network, the city itself determines the area coverage and can forward the collected data to the right people, apps or offices, depending on their authorization.

     The waste water data from the sensors at the measuring points are sent to the waterworks and the sewer operators. The garbage collection service is notified of the fill levels of the garbage containers, which can then optimize its routes. It is also possible to integrate intelligent electricity and water meters, which transmit the consumer data directly to the corresponding utility company. This eliminates the need for field staff and the residents no longer have to wait at home for the meter to be read. Traffic and street lighting can also be optimized, saving energy and protecting the environment. Traffic light changes can be monitored by the traffic office and the street lighting can be converted into smart lights. LoRaWAN sensors can also be used for mobile fine dust measurement. If they are attached to bicycles, for example, they reliably transmit particulate matter data to the environmental authorities while on the road.

why LoRaWAN ?

Here is a brief overview of the advantages of the LoRaWAN for you:

· Network coverage can be determined by yourself

· Mobile and flexible in use

· No transmission costs

· Independent of mobile phone providers

· high range and low energy consumption

We would be happy to work with you to determine the potential of LoRaWAN as an alternative or supplement to other transmission technologies. Learn more about the services of the HKT here:www.hkttech.com
