Cities and villages that will be built on the territories liberated from occupation on behalf of Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev should be based on the concepts of “Smart City” and “Smart Village”, as well as on the most advanced world technologies. Following this concept, Azercell became the first company to test and prepare the network infrastructure required to provide Internet of Things connectivity for a range of devices that will be used in various solutions in the Smart City and Smart Village projects.
Azercell Telecom, which strives to significantly improve the quality of life of its users through the use of new technologies, will also follow this goal by participating in the Smart City and Smart Village projects. The infrastructure of this concept is based on high technologies, and some of the devices used to operate services within these projects can work in the existing 2G / 3G / LTE network of Azercell, representing the least energy-intensive solutions. Digital data must be transmitted to the central system using sensors and devices (for example, water and gas meters, sensors used in agriculture, etc.). To support this type of sensors and devices, mobile operators offer a Narrow-Band Internet of Things (NB-IoT) feature on LTE networks. Azercell Telecom has also implemented this opportunity in its network, carried out the necessary tests and prepared its subscribers for the launch of the new technology.
Examples of such solutions, widely used in the world, are the following devices:
• Door sensors – the so-called magnetic sensors or entry sensors. These sensors are devices that indicate in surveillance systems whether a door is open. They also play an important role in enhancing security systems and providing a high quality service.
• Water or fuel level sensors – suitable for use in open or underground tanks. Allows you to measure the free volume of a water or fuel tank by determining the empty space.
• Gas Sensors – Low energy consumption gas sensors are used in gas detection systems to prevent leaks and alert the user.
• “Smart” parking sensor that allows you to monitor parking spaces and the space reserved for the car.
• “Smart” tracking sensor – very convenient for companies in terms of tracking goods and production assets, reducing costs and savings through the use of technological solutions based on IoT.
