Success case
Smart City: 500+ SenseCAP LoRaWAN Devices Deployed to Mitigate Urban Heat Island in Cagliari Italy
To address the challenges of urban heat waves, WiData and Abinsula, our partners in Italy, deployed 500+ SenseCAP sensors including SenseCAP S1000 weather sensor along with SenseCAP S2100 LoRaWAN DTU as well as other SenseCAP LoRaWAN sensors at more than 300 sites in Cagliari for the Cagliari Smart City Project. This project offers urban heat island monitoring for the local administration to take action on the intervention in the building color and green space planning to better mitigate the heat island effect.

Project background and needs
The Cagliari Smart City project in Italy collects urban microclimate data to identify and mitigate urban heat islands.
- The project deployed 528 SenseCAP sensors and DTUs at 314 sites in Cagliari.
Urban monitoring cost
- The previous approach used thermal imaging cameras flown over the city by plane.
- Aerial surveys are costly and difficult in densely populated areas.
Needs a city-scale, multi-variable sensor network.
Timeliness and connectivity
- Collecting aerial data and analyzing it with a model is time-consuming.
- Communities with insufficient network connectivity may struggle to access high-quality environmental data.
Needs monitoring infrastructure that supports real-time capture and data sharing.
Solution and architecture
Distributed sensing
SenseCAP weather sensors and DTUs on light poles and rooftops collect temperature, humidity, pressure, particulate matter, and other parameters.
Connectivity and management
Fastweb provides connectivity and cloud resources; WiData and Abinsula built the platform; data feeds the municipal control room and triggers threshold alerts on the web map.
