Liveable Cities’ smart city solutions empower
municipalities to enable safer and more efficient communities using
existing street lighting infrastructure
Sierra Wireless (NASDAQ: SWIR) (TSX: SW), the leading IoT
solutions provider that combines devices, network services and
software to unlock value in the connected economy, today announced
that Liveable Cities, a division of Canada-based LED Roadway
Lighting, has selected Sierra Wireless’ LPWA solution to enable
smart city applications. Liveable Cities is using Sierra Wireless
Ready-to-Connect HL78 modules for its SilQ Luminaire streetlight
and the tool-less Sensor Platform (TSC) ANSI Controller, which can
add radar, pollution and noise sensors to transform any streetlight
into a network that provides data to cities to help them reduce
pollution and keep citizens safe.
The Sierra Wireless LPWA solution connects sensors integrated in
the Luminaire streetlight or TSP platform and securely transmits
speed, pollution and noise data over cellular networks to Liveable
Cities’ SMARTLINX cloud platform for analysis. City planners can
use the data to understand speed, pollution and acoustic patterns
across the city, evaluate effectiveness of reduction measures over
time and make informed decisions about where to deploy additional
resources.
Ken Cartmill, Vice President of Product Development, LED Roadway
Lighting, said: “Municipalities are asking for solutions that will
help them make evidence-based decisions and measure the outcomes of
their initiatives in real time. Using cellular was the best
approach, and Sierra Wireless’ LPWA solution allowed us to get to
market two to three months faster by streamlining our development
and deployment process. Our customers can securely connect the
TSP-Radar platform anywhere in the world.”
The ubiquity of streetlights allows municipalities to deploy
sensors anywhere in the community for lighting scheduling, asset
management, energy reporting, traffic analytics and more. The
tool-less TSP platform can be installed into virtually any
streetlight in 15 seconds. “Now that we can help cities understand
traffic patterns and management strategies, a logical next step is
to help them understand the impacts of congestion on air quality
and other factors,” added Cartmill.
Ross Gray, VP, Product Management, Sierra Wireless said:
“Liveable Cities is making smart city applications practical and
accessible by allowing communities to leverage their existing
streetlighting infrastructure. Sierra Wireless’ LPWA solution
provides the secure, reliable device-to-cloud connectivity needed
for cost-effective smart city solutions.”
Industry’s Lowest Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) with
Ready-to-Connect Modules The Sierra Wireless Ready-to-Connect
HL78 embedded module is the industry’s smallest multimode LPWA
module, offering best-in-class power performance for global LTE-M,
NB-IoT and GNSS networks. The integrated operator-agnostic smart
SIM simplifies global deployment, and all SIM subscriptions and
devices can be managed using the AirVantage® IoT Platform.
Ready-to-Connect modules provide the industry’s lowest TCO for
OEMs and system integrators. By reducing IoT management costs and
eliminating SIM logistics and truck rolls to resolve connectivity
issues, Ready-to-Connect bundles reduce TCO by up to 40 percent*,
compared to other available embedded modules. Customers can work
with one vendor for their IoT infrastructure and avoid the complex
pairing of multiple components that can lead to security
vulnerabilities.
