Cambridge, June 10, 2015: The United Kingdom-based Telensa, a company that provides end-to-end solutions to turn the Internet of Things (IoT) into real world revenue streams, has announced that 9 million devices using its Ultra: Narrow Band (UNB) long-range, low-power wide-area (LPWA) radio technology had been deployed.
This milestone,it said, was met as part of the rollout of one of Telensa’s smart city systems in Asia. The company’s technology was now deployed around the world in 30 countries including; the US, UK, Brazil, Australia, China and Russia, enabling a range of applications such as device tracking, smart parking and smart lighting.
Telensa said its technology was proven in huge scale deployments with many live networks, each serving tens or hundreds of thousands of devices. As well as proven scalability, the tech also provided the longest battery life in the market with up to a year from a single coin sized battery.
Two things that Telensa claimed it was leading in today were – parking and lighting markets with PARKet, one of the world’s most widely deployed parking bay-sensor solutions, and PLANet, which controlled intelligent street lighting. PARKet was helping reduce congestion and improved parking occupancy in city centres by directing drivers to the nearest available bays. It was already deployed in Moscow, in the largest parking monitoring system in the world, where congestion had been cut by over a quarter since installation, said the company.
“The Internet of Things is already having a major impact on the efficient running of major cities around the globe. By adding intelligence and connectivity to systems such as parking and lighting the foundations for the smart cities of the future are being laid,” said Will Gibson, Chief Executive Officer of Telensa. “The key technology challenges have been met with our systems and proven deployment at scale across all continents is giving customers the confidence to adopt our technology as the lowest risk and most cost effective solution”.
