The business-case-first path to sustainable IoT

Streetlights are an ideal place for sensors, and they are easily integrated into Telensa’s PLANet soluton. With Telensa, connected streetlights can become a low-cost sensory network taking the pulse of the entire city. The Telensa UNB network is ideal for adding additional applications such as parking or asset tracking. Unlike adapting short-range mesh or cellular networks for these applications, Telensa’s low-cost UNB network means that cities can deploy with a compelling business case from the outset. The Telensa Smart City API enables sensor and application data to be harnessed by a range of smart city applications, enabling better operational planning and more informed decision-making by city leaders.

Telensa Ultra-Narrow-Band (UNB) – the application-proven Smart City network

Telensa UNB is the most deployed type of Low Power Wide Area (LPWA) network, with over 9 million devices using it today. LPWA wireless networks are ideal for IoT applications because they are free from the high costs of cellular and the operational complexity of mesh networks. LPWA combines low cost, simple deployment and the long-term stability of unlicensed spectrum in the Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) frequency bands. The natural strengths of LPWA for smart city applications has sparked a rush of companies to enter the market. Telensa is different. We have ten years experience of deploying networks and we are the only provider to provide our UNB network as part of an integrated app-to-device solution, when other companies produce component fragments. We are also a leading player in the ETSI standards body and a board member of the Weightless SIG.
