What is the relationship between IoT and Smart City infrastructure?

There is undoubtedly no need to discuss how important IoT infrastructure is for a sustainable Smart City. Nowadays, the potential of IoT technology is well known, especially when it comes to infrastructure with intelligent sensors and devices.

A Smart City with IoT solutions offers many benefits, such as sustainability, efficiency and an improved quality of life for residents. The seamless networking of devices, sensors and urban infrastructures promotes intelligent and forward-looking urban development. The possibilities and areas of application for IoT technology are diverse and impressive.

What does an efficient IoT-based Smart City look like?

There are various IoT technologies to make a city smarter. These include intelligent transportation systems and energy management systems, for example. But behind this is a pioneering IoT solution that easily enables the implementation of various Smart City concepts and adapts perfectly to the individual needs of each city:
FUSION IoT powered by Epsilon. The unique adaptability and flexible connectivity of FUSION IoT enables the reliable and fail-safe networking of sensors and devices as well as the future-oriented development of a city.

FUSION IoT improves connectivity between devices in infrastructure and enables seamless data exchange. This is accomplished by a SIM card, among other things, which offers many additional advantages for a Smart City.

The FUSION IoT SIM card is characterized by its unique ability to connect to all mobile networks in a region. It automatically selects the strongest signal or, if desired, a specific network. It also offers access to the powerful 5G network.

With the FUSION IoT SIM card in your devices and sensors, you can offer your satisfied customers

Access to the innovative Smart City with 5G that improves the lives of residents and creates a future-proof and sustainable metropolis.
Reliable connectivity with broad network coverage for the entire urban infrastructure.
Automatic connection to the strongest network for seamless communication between Smart City devices and prevention of internet outages.
High adaptability and flexibility for specific requirements as well as seamless integration of various IoT devices and smart sensors into the infrastructure for efficient resource management.

Today’s parking guidance systems use essential IoT technology for intelligent sensors and advanced data processing. This enables drivers to quickly find free parking spaces and improve traffic flow in the city.

FUSION IoT plays an important role as a link between the parking sensors and the data analysis unit to create a comprehensive IoT smart parking solution. Parking lot sensors that rely on LoRaWAN are one way of implementing this. However, FUSION IoT offers clear advantages with alternatives using Narrowband IoT or LTE-M (or LTE-Cat M1). Narrowband IoT and LTE-M are fail-safe in terms of data transmission and also offer convincingly better transmission quality.

Using FUSION IoT, information from various parking sensors and other sources is combined to analyze and determine current parking space availability in real time. Thanks to the reliable connectivity between the devices, there are no interruptions in data transmission. Drivers receive fast and reliable information about free parking spaces via mobile apps or digital display boards and are directed to the nearest available parking spaces.

The result is an advanced IoT smart parking system that integrates seamlessly into the city and makes traffic more efficient. Our customer Smart City Factory clearly demonstrates how the use of FUSION IoT connectivity can be integrated into your Smart City solutions. The focus is on your technology. FUSION IoT takes care of secure IoT data transmission for you, even under challenging conditions.

IoT in Smart Lightning solutions

FUSION IoT also has another important application for smart cities: Smart Street lighting. Sensors, such as motion sensors and light sensors, allow the lighting to be automatically adjusted to the ambient conditions. The SIM card from FUSION IoT enables real-time data transmission, allowing dynamic control of the lighting creating modern 5G streetlights that make lighting even more efficient.

Thanks to the FUSION IoT SIM card, the street lighting is dimmed or switched off as required to save energy. As soon as people or vehicles approach, it switches on automatically. Instant data transmission enables seamless control of LED street lighting with 5G technology and real-time monitoring of lamps for efficient maintenance and minimized downtime. It is also possible to implement a WiFi hotspot within a smart streetlight.

Smart Lighting has a significant impact on the public’s sense of security while ensuring efficient and environmentally friendly street lighting. The use of FUSION IoT in your Smart Lighting solutions and devices therefore increases safety in public areas such as streets, sidewalks and parks, while also reducing energy consumption. In summary, the data transmission of smart street lighting achieved by using FUSION IoT SIM cards ensures greater safety, energy efficiency and sustainable development in the city.

The many uses of innovative IoT connectivity

Of course, the possible applications of FUSION IoT services are not limited to these two examples. Due to their high adaptability, FUSION IoT SIM cards are used in a variety of Smart City solutions as well as in numerous other areas.

Manufacturers such as Smart City Factory GmbH are already taking advantage of these opportunities by integrating IoT (e)SIM cards into their services and products in a variety of ways. They use FUSION IoT technology in intelligent sensors and lighting solutions to enrich their IoT Smart City projects and offer their customers flexible customisation options.

By integrating the FUSION IoT into sensors and solutions, manufacturers such as Smart City Factory can offer their customers customised solutions that are precisely tailored to the individual requirements of the city or local authority.
