Smart Cities with NeoMesh
From dynamic streetlights to air quality monitors, IoT-connected devices are at the core of smart cities — making urban spaces more efficient, responsive, and sustainable.
One of the most visible applications is smart lighting, which ranges from simple remote control of streetlights to more advanced systems with built-in sensors and cameras. These can support real-time monitoring, dynamic behavior, and even data collection to inform other city services.
Benefits of Smart City Lighting
Depending on the implementation, smart lighting can offer:
Reduced Energy Use
Lights turn on only when needed, based on time schedules or sensor input.
Improved Public Safety
Lights brighten when pedestrians or vehicles are detected, enhancing visibility and deterring crime.
Dynamic Lighting Control
Adjust light levels based on movement, weather, or traffic conditions.
Maintenance Monitoring
Automatically detect and report malfunctioning lights.
Environmental Sensing
Use integrated sensors to detect local weather, air quality and noise levels.
Smart Signage Integration
Remotely control digital signs and update information as needed.
Beyond Lighting: Other Smart City Applications
NeoMesh can also be used in a wide range of other smart city use cases, such as:
Smart Parking
Detect available spaces and guide drivers
Traffic Monitoring & Control
Dynamic signs, road occupancy detection
Environmental Monitoring
Air quality, noise, weather sensors
Sewer & Drain Monitoring
Detect blockages or flooding
Smart Waste Management
Monitor bin levels and optimize pickup routes
EV Charging Management
Load balancing and usage optimization
The Issue with Most Wireless Smart City Technologies
Today, most smart city devices use LoRaWAN or NB-IoT / LTE-M. While both are widely adopted, they both have significant limitations:
- Monthly subscription fees per device
- Limited peer-to-peer communication — devices can’t talk directly to each other
- Dependence on nearby infrastructure like cell towers or gateways
- Coverage issues in dense cities or underground installations
The NeoMesh Advantage in Smart Cities
NeoMesh is a powerful alternative — designed for dense, infrastructure-light environments like cities:
No subscription costs
Once deployed, the network is free to operate — no per-device fees.
Infrastructure-free in the field
No repeaters or cell towers needed. Devices connect directly to each other in a robust mesh.
Only one gateway required
Just place it where there’s Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or 4G/5G access. That’s it.
Bi-directional communication
All devices can both send and receive messages, regardless of timing.
Self-healing and monitored network
Devices automatically detect and adapt to missing or poorly connected nodes.
Long range options
Choose from standard modules, high-output variants, or LoRa modulation for multi-kilometer range between devices.
No packet loss
Thanks to intelligent routing and local acknowledgments, data is transmitted reliably — even in noisy city environments.
NeoMesh is ideal for smart city projects that require flexibility, reliability… and no hidden costs — whether you’re managing streetlights, monitoring air quality, or building a city-wide sensor network.
