ParkNode Gen-1 Datasheet
Product Overview
ParkNode Gen‑1 is an intelligent LoRaWAN® geomagnetic parking occupancy sensor designed for real‑time vehicle presence detection in off‑street, curbside, and commercial parking spaces. Using industrial‑grade geomagnetic sensing technology with advanced signal processing, the device precisely detects a vehicle’s arrival, stay duration, and departure — even in challenging environments.
Engineered for outdoor deployment, ParkNode Gen‑1 features a rugged enclosure, IP‑rated sealing, and high immunity to temperature variation, vibration, and electromagnetic interference. It supports surface‑mount and flush‑mount installation, enabling easy deployment across city streets, gated societies, business parks, airports, and shopping complexes.
Built on low‑power LoRaWAN® wireless communication, the device delivers long‑range connectivity to smart‑city gateways and parking management platforms while maintaining years of battery life. Instant occupancy updates help reduce traffic congestion, optimize parking revenue, automate enforcement, and improve the driver experience with accurate space‑availability guidance.
With intelligent filtering for vehicle motion, metal type, and multi‑vehicle parking interactions — ParkNode Gen‑1 transforms traditional parking spaces into smart, connected assets, enabling efficient and scalable parking automation for modern cities.
