Siradel has announced the completion of the design phase for an IoT network based on LoRa technology. This achievement marks a step towards building a smart and connected future for the city of Luxembourg.
As part of this project, Siradel’s team of experts utilised their cutting-edge Security Internet of Things (S_IoT) LoRaWAN simulation software and leveraged the 3D digital twin of Luxembourg city, which was also developed by Siradel. The combination of these tools allowed for the precise design and optimisation of the LoRa-based IoT network to cater to the unique and characteristics of the city.
The initial focus of the network deployment is on water smart meters, enabling the efficient monitoring and management of water consumption throughout the entire city, counting more than 20,000 meters. By implementing this smart formula, Luxembourg aims to enhance sustainability, improve resource management and promote responsible water usage.
Siradel’s design process involved evaluating various scenarios, including the integration of public buildings and Wi-Fi access points for the installation of gateways. The goal was to ensure not only optimal coverage, connectivity and reliability across the city but also to consider the total cost of ownership (TCO) of the infrastructure.
“We are thrilled to have completed the design of this LoRa network for Luxembourg City,” said Vincent Weis, a head of business development at Siradel. “Our tailored solution empowers the city to use IoT’s potential, driving sustainable development and contributing to a more connected, carbon-neutral world. We look forward to the positive impact it will have on Luxembourg’s residents and businesses.”
“We are extremely pleased with our collaboration with Siradel in designing our innovative IoT network for the city of Luxembourg,” said Frank Weiler, the responsible for the city’s communication network department. “The professionalism and expertise of Siradel’s teams have been exceptional throughout the process. Their simulation software has showcased limitless capabilities in exploring and evaluating multiple scenarios, greatly facilitating our decision-making. We have full confidence in the solution crafted by Siradel, and we believe it will make a significant contribution to advancing our city towards greater sustainability.”
The deployment of the IoT network in Luxembourg City has begun, starting with a pilot zone. As the project moves forward, Siradel will continue to support the city in discussions with equipment suppliers, ensuring the selection and the deployment of the network across the city.
