Smart Cities IoT solution

IoT solutions for Smart Cities based on NB-Fi technology allow municipalities and utilities to make faster and better decisions that will lead to greater efficiency, safety and quality of life for people. More comprehensive and real-time data from devices, sensors and gauges gives the ability to monitor events, collect, analyze and use data to improve processes and optimize the consumption of valuable resources.

NB-Fi solution for Smart Cities consists of NB-Fi devices and sensors connected to the NB-Fi network, specific applications that use the raw data from NB-Fi Server and generates reports or alerts for municipalities, utility companies and service companies.

###

Typical Smart Cities use cases

Smart Grid and Smart utilities (smart electricity meters, smart water, and gas meters)
Environmental monitoring (air quality sensors, connected waste bins, flood detection sensors)
Safety and security (door monitoring, manhole monitoring, smart lighting)

Low-power NB-Fi technology ensures up to 10 years of independent operation of devices with base station coverage of up to 10 kilometers in urban areas. Using a single NB-Fi network for various Smart City applications is a cost-effective solution that allows cities to have complete control of the network and data, and to manage sensors and devices with a low Total Cost of Ownership.

Architecture of NB-Fi solution for Smart City

Thousands of NB-Fi devices, sensors and gauges transmit data via NB-Fi radio protocol to base stations, then base stations forward data packets to the NB-Fi Server (via Ethernet or GSM)
Processed data is displayed in the frontend of WAVIoT IoT Platform and could be transferred to any third-party app via API
NB-Fi Server provides bidirectional communication (uplink and downlink messages) for end-user devices that allow controlling them

NB-Fi IoT solutions for Smart Cities consist of devices with built-in NB-Fi transceivers, NB-Fi modems connected to sensors, gauges and existing utility meters, NB-Fi base stations or gateways and also an NB-Fi Server that collects data and controls the NB-Fi devices providing data to Smart City applications. The system is easily scalable by installing additional base stations without limiting the number of connected devices.

Deploying NB-Fi network infrastructure with NB-Fi Base Stations

NB-Fi Base Stations show one of the largest coverages – average NB-Fi network coverage is between 5 and 10 km in a dense urban area
NB-Fi network can be quickly deployed in any area – it only takes a few hours to install a base station
NB-Fi operates in unlicensed ISM bands and does not require the customers to obtain a permit from regulators to use the devices
Every day one base station can receive messages from many thousands of devices
The best place to install WAVIoT NB-Fi base stations is a roof of the tallest building available in the area

NB-Fi IoT system can be deployed in a corporate enterprise network and integrated via API with various IT systems.

WAVIoT IoT Platform

WAVIoT IoT Platform for the Internet of Things and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is a comprehensive solution to process all information from various IoT devices with NB-Fi transceiver that transmit data via the NB-Fi network.

WAVIoT IoT Platform can be used in Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) and Smart Grid systems for power transmission and distribution, utility supply and management, energy services, agriculture, manufacturing, transport and logistics. WAVIoT IoT Platform collects, analyzes and stores data from millions of devices. The energy and utility sector will greatly benefit from the implementation of WAVIoT IoT Platform, as it reduces costs, increases convenience and improves security for the suppliers, customers and consumers.
WAVIoT IoT Platform is a cloud-based software that consists of the NB-Fi server (Head End System or HES) and the Meter Data Management System (MDM system or MDMS). WAVIoT IoT Platform collects and processes primary information from utility meters, sensors, gauges and other IoT devices, and provides tools for data analysis and visualization. Flexible API capabilities ensures integration with other IT systems, expanding the range of possible use cases.

WAVIoT IoT Platform can be installed in a corporate network and integrated with corporate AMI or enterprise system.
