Solving smart city challenges with compact weather stations

Smart cities leverage information and communication technology (ICT) to improve safety, efficiency, promote environmental sustainability, and enhance social inclusion.

They use an integrated network of sensors and digital instruments to monitor a wide range of factors including air quality and environmental data. These measurements are often captured by ultrasonic anemometers and compact weather stations, typically mounted on smart lampposts throughout the city. However, many urban areas face key challenges that hinder smart city development.

Gill’s robust, low-maintenance weather stations help address these issues by providing reliable environmental data, making them a trusted choice for successful deployment in smart cities around the world.

Learn more about how Gill MaxiMet compact weather stations are being used in smart city applications.
