What is smart parking?

Smart parking uses IoT sensors to detect parking space availability in real-time. Data is transmitted via wireless network (LoRaWAN) to a cloud platform that enables visualization, management, and optimization of parking occupancy.

How does a LoRaWAN parking sensor work?

Sensors use magnetic or radar technology to detect vehicle presence. They transmit this information via LoRaWAN protocol (Low Power Wide Area Network) which offers several kilometers range with minimal energy consumption.

What is the battery life of the sensors?

Thanks to ultra-low power LoRaWAN technology, our sensors have a battery life of 5 to 10 years with a single battery, depending on usage frequency and environmental conditions.
