The challenges

Many different types of things so many different ways of

connecting to them. Many different types of processes
many not even invented yet.
There are similarities and standards already have their role
However it is not the 80% of similarity that make M2M difficult
it is the 20% of difference

Smart Street Ligths San Diego

Project Information
San Diego municipality wants to cut back energy consumption.
They want to switch off lights that are not needed.

Solution: Individual light control

Streetlights have a GPS and a small mesh radio
(900MHz Zigbee)
Status and control between street lights and control system is taken
care of by the cellular Gateway.
250 CloudGate units are needed for 100K streetlight nodes.
San Diego pilot in place now. Los Angeles will be a 2nd pilot but
waiting funding.

Bicycle rental Dutch Railways

Project information
Bicycle rental service to solve mobility problem of train commuters
Solution : Smart Street cabinets for automated bicycle rental
With a chip card you can rent a bike at 250 train station.
Advanced registration is needed for billing purposes.
Rental locations are smart street hubs that take care of customer
identification and bicycle allocation.
CloudGate checks the subscription with database in Cloud
CloudGate sends instructions to electronic control
board if subscription is valid.

Dynamic Traffic Control

Project information
Dynamic street signs to manage traffic situations in construction areas.
Solution : Intelligent trailers with dynamic message signs
Solar energy powered trailers with LED screens provide traffic information
at street construction sites.
Smart application allows check of batteries and dynamic upload of traffic
signs.
CloudGate provides GPS location and
status information to server and receives
updated content. Content is transmitted
to PC controller in LED screen.

All rights reserved.

The Internet Of Objects as the next

big thing

What is LoRa ?
A disruptive low-power wireless technology for IoT, category LPWAN
Specifically designed for Internet of Objects : long range, low data
Provides outdoor and deep indoor connectivity
without the need for SIM card
Very low cost of ownership because of private and public network deployments
Scalable architecture with strong ecosystem

LoRa deployment
Unlicensed band
Cell diameter of 2-10 km
10 bytes per message

LoRa deployment adaptive

power/speed

Speed ranges from 300 bps to 50kbps depending on distance from

gateway (green curve)
Power consumption (time on air) increases with distance from
gateway
(red curve)
