Design and Development of Sigfox Protocol at Node

Abstract

In recent years, electricity connections have been provided to all citizens. Thus energy use has doubled and improved the standards of living. It is observed that street lighting has become one more component of energy consumption in India. Street lighting is consuming 18-38% of the total energy bill. The reason behind this energy consumption is due to inefficient deployment of power resources. In this paper Sigfox technology is used to develop a system for monitoring energy usage. This is done by sensing the density of vehicles and public presence on pedestrians using a cloud base low power wide area network. The proposed work was able to save on average 30-35 percent of energy.
