By means of LPWAN (LPWAN) this from the sensors installed on all city were transferred to the central office where the Cumulocity IoT platform was unrolled. Using the functions of integration of the platform which are not requiring writing of the code, specialists exercised monitoring of scenarios of use and control of them.

These ten scenarios covered air quality monitoring, accounting of tangible assets and monitoring of deliveries, condition monitoring of objects, accounting of a consumption of water, detection of cases of defeat of palm trees a weevil, control of street lighting, intellectual management of parkings, waste recycling, monitoring of reservoirs for storage of water and monitoring of swimming pools.
