Canada Bay, NSW connects sensors to wireless network in smart bin pilot

Canada Bay, NSW Smart Bin Sensor Wireless Pilot

Complete

Ninety-five public garbage bins from Meshed are equipped with sensors that detect bin capacity and temperature. Real-time data are sent on the Long Range Wide Area Network (LoRaWAN) to city officials. This one-year pilot allows council teams to improve response times while creating a public Wi-Fi network. Canada Bay will consider expanding its smart bin network at the conclusion of the pilot.
