Communication protocols and supported technologies
Our smart waste management software enables cities and businesses to cost-efficiently manage the waste lifecycle, while also improving the environment and well-being of people.
With our smart waste collection software you can reduce waste collection costs by at least 30% and lower carbon emissions in cities up to 60%.
Through its real-time waste monitoring, Smart Analytics and Smart Route Planning, cities and businesses are enabled to take data-driven decisions to optimize the collection routes, pick-up frequency, and vehicle loads.
WiseBeam Waste Collection Software solution allows cities and businesses to get a clear understanding of the complex trash bin infrastructure they manage.
The Smart Waste Collection Software solution enables you to digitize your bin infrastructure. It combines RFID tags and stickers, Smart Waste Management System, Mobile App and RFID readers. By tagging all bins and containers you identify and record all assets (bins) in a digital inventory in the Smart Waste Management System, powerful cloud-based platform. RFID features enable automatic service verifications.
The solution simplifies bin and container tracking, communication and invoicing, and restrains unauthorized use of bins.
Waste containers are equipped with a small Smart Waste Sensor that measures the fill levels as well as a variety of other data points. The small small footprint and sophisticated technology of our sensors allows them to be placed in any type of container, regardless of their shape, size or contents.
By using a smartphone or tablet, the drivers receives their daily work schedule. Their daily route will include detailed navigation with turn-by-turn instructions and spoken directions, which are all available in multiple languages.
View real-time or historic data on waste collection across your city. Use this data to gain insights in order to create benchmarks and improvement initiatives to further drive waste collection efficiency that reduces CO2 emissions and costs.
LTE-M is a low power wide area (LPWA) technology standard published by 3GPP. It supports IoT through lower device complexity and extended coverage, while allowing the reuse of the LTE installed base. Supported by all major mobile equipment, chipset and module manufacturers, LTE-M networks will co-exist with 2G, 3G, and 4G mobile networks and benefit from all the security and privacy features of carrier-grade networks.
Narrow-Band IoT (NB-IoT) is a narrowband RF communication technology specially designed for the Internet of Things (IoT). It connects devices more simply and effciently on already established mobile networks, and handles small amounts of infrequent 2-way data, securely and reliably. The special focus of this standard is on very low power consumption, excellent penetration coverage and lower component costs, deployed in GSM and LTE regulated frequencies.
LoRaWAN™ is a Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) specification. LoRaWAN™ targets key requirements of Internet of Things such as secure bi-directional communication, mobility and localization services. It provides seamless interoperability among smart things without the need of complex local installations and gives back the freedom to the user, developer and businesses, enabling the rollout of Internet of Things
Zigbee is an IEEE 802.15.4-based specification for a suite of high-level communication protocols used to create personal area networks with small, low-power digital radios, such as for home automation, medical device data collection, and other low-power low-bandwidth needs, designed for small scale projects which need wireless connection. Hence, Zigbee is a low-power, low data rate, and close proximity (i.e., personal area) wireless ad hoc network.
The NEMA socket is a standardised connector for streetlight controllers, derived from the American socket standard, that can be easily mounted through plug-and-play installation on NEMA compatible lamps. Powering up is automatic and the luminaire is available immediately for feedback and control. NEMA sockets are sealed and suitable for outdoor deployments.
Mounted on-lamp through plug-and-play installation, Zhaga is a newer, more compact connector, developed especially for today’s slim LED fixtures. Produced according to a global lighting-industry standard, Zhaga connectors can be deployed on existing lighting infrastructure and integrated with third-party solutions. Zhaga sockets are suitable for outdoor installations.
Designed to minimize occupied space, the embedded streetlight controller is the best way to keep the lamp’s architectural value intact. Mounted inside the pole, the controller can be wire-connected into most luminaire designs and can be embedded straight from the lamp production line, allowing any producer to offer ready smart street lighting fixtures.
The pole-mounted controller is the most flexible form factor option available as it does not require any special connections or certain lamp types. With its IP66 protection rating and compact dimensions, the controller can be installed directly inside or on the lighting pole, so it can be used to retrofit existing street lighting with minimal visual impact and virtually no civil works.
