how it works

sensing stations
Discretely installed into the existing urban
furniture (such as vertical signing, street lighting
or electrical posts)

The information collected by these stations can be used to improve urban planning, strategy
and interaction with the city residents.

These stations communicate in real time with Air Quality Management System through
wireless communication, and are powered energetically by the structure in which they are
installed.
