Smart cities

Smart cities, villages and countrysides

Millions of connected devices that enable a smarter and safer world rely on affordable connectivity designed for decades of operation.

Cities and villages will become smarter by connecting everything that can be connected, e.g. smart meters, streetlights, trash can sensors and parking spaces – essentially everything that can help make cities safer, greener, more efficient and more comfortable for inhabitants.

LPWAN technologies such as NB-IoT, LoRaWAN, Sigfox and LTE-M will play an important role. These IoT devices support deep coverage with low power consumption, a battery life of more than 10 years, decades of network operation, software maintenance and secure operation. It is essential to test the RF performance in terms of deep coverage, battery life, security and conformance with standards and regulations.
