The new version of Waspmote Plug & Sense! Smart Parking, the solution for Smart Cities that allows citizens to
detect available parking spots.
detect available parking spots.
The new device is easier and cheaper to deploy as it is mounted on the road surface. Unlike most market
versions, it does not need to dig a hole in the ground for installation, reducing installation time from 30 to 5
minutes and allowing to be replaced by another unit in case of maintenance in just 10 minutes.

The smaller size -reduced over 50%-, its higher accuracy and reliability, and the faster time of detection, besides
the independence from temperature are also important features of new Smart Parking device.

New sensor system is fully compatible with LPWAN radio technologies -LoRaWAN and Sigfox- to enable long
range and low power consumption. It can be connected with both radios for the European 868 MHz band and
for the 900-930 MHz band (US / Canada). One unique feature of the system is that it allows to use both radio
technologies at the same time or changing from one to the other using the manager system from the Cloud.

With the new sensor system, one base station can give service to thousands of devices around a range of several
kilometers in urban environment. This fact provides lower costs of installation since the number of base stations
can be dramatically reduced. Besides, the new sensor model has been optimized for really low-power operation,
so the battery lifetime is extended up to 10 years easily.

The new Smart Parking node has been granted with the CE / FCC marks and provides a robust software which
works out-of-the-box. Developers do not have to cope with programming the nodes, they just have to specify

management and bidirectional communication allows to change several parameters of the nodes from the
Cloud. This means we can reprogram thousands of nodes by just setting the right values from our web browser
in the management platform.
