The city of Patras is the first in Greece and one of the first in Europe to use narrowband IoT communication technology in its smart city solutions. Cosmote, a subsidiary of Deutsche Telekom (DT) Group partnered up with the city of Patras to launch a pilot. Specialized smart parking sensors were installed in existing parking spaces on Patreos Street, and smart lighting sensors added along Othonos-Amalias Street. A mobile phone based parking app will now be available to guide drivers to free parking spaces, reducing congestion and improving citizens’ quality of life. Likewise, smart lighting systems will adjust to different light levels at different times of the day and year, saving on electricity consumption using this communication technology.
