The right technology for smart cities

In modern urban infrastructure, wireless communication is a central component of automation and increased efficiency. Intelligent street lighting adapts dynamically to the ambient conditions and networked waste containers report their fill level to make waste disposal more efficient. M2M SIM cards offer a reliable solution for data transmission here.

In addition to 5G, NB-IoT and LTE-M are also important technologies for smart city applications. NB-IoT is suitable for applications with low data volumes, such as smart meters and environmental monitoring, and enables cost-efficient use through better penetration of buildings and inexpensive devices.

LTE-M, for example, supports mobile solutions, while also offering low-cost devices and better building penetration. Together with 5G, these technologies enable companies to develop innovative smart city solutions.

Areas of application for
M2M SIM cards in the smart city sector

Intelligent traffic management

Intelligent traffic management

Optimized traffic flow thanks to networked traffic light systems, real-time traffic analysis and networked public transport vehicles: our M2M SIM cards ensure stable connections for the mobility of the future.

Garage

Smart Parking

Smart mobility: efficient parking space management using sensors or barrier-free parking space management.

Air sensors

Environmental monitoring with sensors

For sustainable urban development: sensors are used to measure air and water quality, among other things, and the data is analyzed accordingly. Our M2M SIM cards offer reliable data transmission even in areas that are difficult to access.

Modern street lighting

Intelligent street lighting

Energy costs can be reduced with smart streetlights that adapt to movement and ambient light. Inefficiency can thus be prevented and maintenance work can be carried out in good time.

Intelligent waste management

Intelligent waste management

Efficient waste disposal thanks to fill level sensors in waste containers: containers are only emptied as required. With the help of real-time data analysis, the route of the waste disposal vehicles can be individually adapted.

Smart Building Management

Smart Building Management

The digitalization of entire buildings through intelligent control systems for heating, ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC), lighting and security is made possible by our M2M SIM cards.
