Smart Cities is one of the leading verticals in IoT

Isolated data
Different applications
/dashboards

Vertical proprietary silos limit the intelligence of cities
8
• Vertical-isolated data means the full
potential of data is not harnassed
• Vertical-dedicated infrastructure is expensive
to deploy and manage
• Different data layers are expensive, complex
and time consuming to integrate
• Proprietary connectivity technologies mean
that cities are depending on fewer suppliers
and a limited ecosystem
• Some existing technologies are short-range
and/or mesh based making deployment
complex

Why is LoRaWAN the perfect fit for Smart Cities
16
One IoT connectivity
technology to rule them
all
CAPEX and OPEX are
lowered
Better data
management for
enhanced operations
• No more silo & proprietary connectivites
• One RF coverage
• Less gateways
• Easier configuration (no Mesh)
• Less gateways needed
• Large ecosystem
• For (almost) all use cases
• Data can be centralized more easily
• Combined data from different verticals can
enhance operations
• Helps learning algorithms

ThingPark China deployment in Shanghai
17
• Over 200,000 sensors connected and powering a wide
range of Smart City applications
• Smoke detectors giving early warning of fires in office
and residential blocks
• Acidity and oxygen sensors monitoring pollution and
quality of water in rivers
• Parking space occupancy detectors
• Manhole cover opening detectors to detect and prevent
unauthorised access
Benefit: Improved safety, security and city
environment for residents

Veolia will deploy over 3 million smart water
sensors in France on Orange network
18
• Over 3 million LoRaWAN water sensors will be
connected in the next 3 years in France to Orange
LoRaWAN network
• Additional water sensors are scheduled for deployment
in order to transition from pure metering to
environmental services
• Unify all water sensors in a multiservice connectivity
network to support digital transformation of water
utilities
Benefit: Reduced water loss, optimized operations,
increased customer satisfaction

Orange connects Vinci rest stops
with ThingPark
19
• Parking lots fitted with sensors to help drivers find free
spaces
• Real-time customer feedback to optimize operations
• Waste bin level sensors ensure efficient emptying
Benefit: more efficient operations and greater
customer satisfaction

Consumer tracking with Orange
20
• Small trackers using LoRaWAN to geolocate people,
animals and goods, allowing long autonomy and
reliability, unlike the regular cellular GPS-based devices
• To address consumer needs in France, Orange launched
in October 2018 a mass-market consumer tracking offer,
with Orange-labeled Abeeway Micro Tracker and
Orange mobile application “C’est ici”.
Benefit: safety and security for children, the elderly
or pets, and reassurance for Orange customers

COMCAST is helping cities with LoRaWAN services
21
• FAIRWAYiQ: asset tracking in sports infrastructure
• H2O Degree: sub-metering for dwelling and commercial
facilities
• Seco Sys: water-metering for mining operations and
utilities
• SteamIQ: monitoring of stream traps, radiators, heaters
• Vinduino: smart agriculture, vineyards, wine-making
Benefit: more efficient and sustainable operations
across industrial, agricultural and leisure applications

26
• Trolley vehicles carrying cargo containers were fitted
with LoRaWAN GPS modules for real-time tracking and
monitoring
• Optimise loading/unloading but also cleaning of the
vehicles
• 100 sensors today
Benefit: battery life increased versus usual GPS

ENERGY MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS FOR SMART
CITY FACILITIES
An efficient response to high energy costs

Recreational & business center
(offices, shopping mall, water
park)

• BTC City is the largest Shopping mall
& Recreation center in Slovenia (22
mio.Visitor per year, 60.000 cars per
day)
• BTC’s energy needs are comparable to
those of urban centers.
• A large number of facilities, wide area,
high consumption of electricity,
water, and heating
CHALLENGES
RECREATIONAL, SHOPPING &
BUSINESS CENTER

PROJECT‘S GOALS
Support and implementation of ISO 50001 standard.
Remote real-time control of energy consumption.
Control of consumption of individual energy products and monitor consumption by individual
end-users.
Introduction of an energy accounting system.
Introduction of alarm system, shorter response time in case of deviations.
Better coordination of energy management, easier monitoring of the effectiveness of
implemented measures. Consequently the decrease in energy consumption.

BEFORE AND AFTER

WATER LEAKAGE
Solution: they found out that there is water leakage of 130 m3 per day. the yearly savings were
calculated to € 23.725.

EQUIPMENT MALFUNCTION
Case: four air compressors with installed power 457kw were not synchronized in running and switching on/off .
Solution: optimisation of all four compressors was done. after that activity the consumption of electrical energy
was reduced to 10%.The yearly savings were calculated to € 10.400.

SOLAR POWER PLANT DELAY IN FUNCTIONING
Solar power plant delay in functioning was detected and made it possible for BTC company
to get € 12.000 of compensation.

NIGHT WATER CONSUMPTION
case: using the GemaLogic (hourly values) they find water consumption during the night unusual high
(about 2 m3 / h), because they are not operating during this time and the consumption shall be near 0 m3 /
h.
solution: based on GemaLogic deeper analysis and with on-site inspection they reduced over the night
consumption of the water and yearly savings were calculated to 8.760€.

Shopping & logistic center

• Performing an energy audit in accordance
with the ISO 50002 standard
• Introduction of an energy accounting
system
• Establishing KPIs for energy use
• Identify possible savings and define a set
of energy consumption saving measures
