Car Park
In large car parks, the car park’s managers often want to know exactly how many spaces are still available and preferably they also want to know where these are located. This results in faster circulation and higher utilisation. This can easily be accomplished by installing a magnetic or infrared sensor below each parking space. This sensor is read by a car park management system via the LoRa network. Because of LoRa, no wiring is required. After all, the battery lasts 10 years. If a 3G network were to be used for this specific application, you would need a relatively large battery, which is more expensive. LoRa’s energy-efficiency yields savings in terms of the connection and hardware. Furthermore, the applications are wireless which limits maintenance.
Exterior Lighting
A small-scale example. Suppose that you want to install garden lighting that you can operate via your smartphone. This means that the garden lighting requires a LoRa connection. This connection must be programmed such that a switch can turn the lights on and off. RF Proximity provides support for projects of this nature with the help of the LoRa developers kit. After all, you do not want to order thousands of lights or develop an app before you are assured that it works. By developing a prototype and RF Proximity’s technical support you know exactly what to expect.
