Smart City & IoT
IoT Infrastructure for Smart Cities & Connected Territories
Deploy private LoRaWAN networks, connect IoT sensors at scale, and build smart city platforms with Ignition SCADA as the data backbone.
Smart city initiatives require robust, scalable IoT infrastructure that connects diverse sensors and systems into a unified platform. OperaMetrix specializes in deploying private LoRaWAN networks for municipalities and metropolitan areas, connecting environmental sensors, energy meters, parking sensors, and infrastructure monitors into Ignition-based dashboards. Our embedded LoRaWAN Network Server module eliminates the need for external platforms, reducing complexity and subscription costs while keeping data sovereign.
Key Challenges
Data Sovereignty
Public entities require that citizen and infrastructure data stays under their control, not on third-party cloud platforms.
Multi-Protocol Interoperability
Smart cities accumulate sensors from many vendors using different protocols (LoRaWAN, NB-IoT, Sigfox, 4G). A unifying layer is essential.
Scalability
Smart city deployments grow from pilot projects (dozens of sensors) to city-wide networks (thousands). The platform must scale without per-device licensing.
Long-Term Sustainability
Municipal projects have 10-20 year lifecycles. Technology choices must be vendor-agnostic and open-standard to avoid lock-in.
Our Solutions
Private LoRaWAN Infrastructure
Deploy and manage your own LoRaWAN network with our embedded Network Server module — no external platform, no subscriptions, full data ownership.
Unified IoT Dashboard
All sensor data — air quality, noise, traffic, energy, water — visualized on a single Ignition Perspective interface with GIS mapping.
Open Data Integration
Expose anonymized sensor data via REST APIs for open data portals, citizen apps, and third-party innovation platforms.
SMS Alerting & Notifications
Automated alerts for critical events (flooding, air quality thresholds, infrastructure faults) via SMS and Telegram to operations teams.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why a private LoRaWAN network instead of public operators?
Private LoRaWAN networks give you full control over coverage, security, and data. No monthly subscriptions per device, no dependency on external operators, and the ability to customize network parameters for your specific use cases.
How many sensors can the LoRaWAN module handle?
Our LoRaWAN module embedded in Ignition can manage thousands of devices per gateway. A single Ignition server can aggregate data from multiple gateways, scaling to city-wide deployments.
