Smart City Weather Monitoring with LoRaWAN
Macnman deployed LoRaWAN-powered weather stations across key locations in the smart city to provide continuous monitoring of temperature, humidity, air pressure, and rainfall.
This enabled city authorities to make data-driven decisions, optimize public services, and enhance urban resilience against extreme weather events.
Problems in Smart City Weather Monitoring
Urban authorities often struggle with real-time weather data in city environments. Traditional systems provide delayed or incomplete information, making it difficult to manage air quality, traffic, and emergency responses efficiently. Without accurate monitoring, planning and preventive measures for weather-related events become challenging
Unreliable Urban Data
Traditional weather reporting lacked real-time city-wide coverage.
Infrastructure Limitations
Harsh urban conditions affected sensor performance and data reliability.
Disconnected Sensors
No unified network to gather environmental data from multiple locations.
No Data Insights
City managers had no actionable insights for climate-driven decisions
