A cloud-enabled sensor network helps city officials meet resident needs and collaborate with neighboring communities.
Dozens of sensors deployed in downtown Cary, North Carolina, are part of a long-range network that collects ambient data to inform infrastructure and community decisions.
The long-range wide-area network (LoRaWAN) operates on a low bandwidth and provides a broad range of coverage for 'sustainably lower' costs, said Justin Sherwood, the city's deputy chief information officer and smart cities coordinator.
