Patras: Internet of Things Case Study
NB-IoT Deployment
Patras have implemented NB-IoT to power two municipal
services on the same network – smart parking and smart
lighting.
Smart Parking
The NB-IoT smart parking service has initially been installed
along Patreos Street, a long street running through the city
centre that offers on-street parking. Sensors embedded into
the street under the parking spaces are able to sense when a
space is free or empty by the presence of a vehicle above them.
This status is then communicated through Cosmote’s NB IoT
radio access network, which was upgraded for this pilot by
Huawei, and linked to Deutsche Telekom’s core network. The
parking data are then collected by a Cosmote’s local partner,
who provide a parking app that residents can use to view where
there are parking spaces available. The app is then able to guide
the driver direct to the available parking spot.
