Case Study Overview

Our customer specializes in providing innovative smart city solutions, with a focus on smart parking management systems and intelligent LED lighting. They have developed and now maintain one of the world’s largest roadside smart parking systems.

Smart parking management in urban environments demands reliable connectivity, efficient device management, and optimized power consumption. Our customer’s smart parking meters are designed for contactless user interaction, promoting hygiene and safety in public spaces. Each meter is capable of managing multiple parking spaces, which streamlines the parking process, reduces congestion, and improves the utilization of urban parking resources. The inclusion of dual backup batteries and solar panels ensures continuous operation, even in the absence of direct power sources, supporting both service continuity and environmental sustainability.

For connectivity, our customer selected Cavli’s C16QS module, which offers low power consumption, Cat 1bis speeds, and advanced power saving modes. The module is built on the Qualcomm chipset, featuring an ARM Cortex-M3 processor at 204 MHz,supports FreeRTOS, device firmware over-the-air (DFOTA) updates, and a range of secure internet protocols. The C16QS is designed for flexibility, with both LGA, mPCIe and Dongle form factors, and is pin-compatible with other Cavli modules for easy integration.

By leveraging Cavli’s advanced IoT modules and the Hubble connectivity platform, it delivers scalable, reliable, and efficient smart city solutions that enhance urban infrastructure, optimize resource utilization, and improve the overall quality of life in cities worldwide.
