• EV charging stations
scalable and integrated platform
• traffic lights and traffic
preserving the City’s investments;
management system
• easy and affordable additional
ready to accommodate to implement and
maintain;
services any time
application and device agnostic
• with remote monitoring
and management of all applications

3. Pilot Project – components
• PE.AMI Nodes connected to luminaires, meters and EV chargers, acting as backbone
elements and as Lighting Management (LM), Electrical Load Management (ELM), Advanced Meter
Reading (AMR) Nodes.
• PE.AMI Gateways managing and routing network data and providing connectivity. They also
establish a communication network among the traffic signal controller.
• PE.AMI Central Management Suite, managing the network, allowing to read network’s
data and sending command to the network.
• PE.AMI Server, hosting the software architecture, including the PE.AMI CMS and the related
database.

5. PE.AMI technology
PE.AMI is the first 6LoWPAN/IPv6 ultra low power wireless full mesh network solution on the
market for remote control, machine-to-machine (M2M), data monitoring and two-ways
communications, building a unified multi-application communication platform enabling the
shaping of smart cities.
• IETF open
standards compliant ensuring
• full-mesh wireless network,
IP bidirectional protocol
• ultra low power technology and design
• sub-GHz radio frequency bands communication
• on-board distributed processing
• 2G/3G/4G, WiFi, IP networks, satellite data uplink
• pioneering dual use gateways wireless narrow band/broad
band technologies

7. The Internet of Things: getting there
The City will…
• mutualize …
• scale: the network can be scaled upon needs
• re-use: one network infrastructure serves multiple needs – today and
in the future
• preserve: not forcing to existing hardware/infrastructure upgrade,
allowing full return on investments
