Smart city
IoT platform for smart cities and urban monitoring
Turn the city into a source of facts. Wireless sensors report on air quality, noise, waste, manholes, water and more, and Sensor-Online brings every department’s data together in dashboards, maps and alarms.
1,000+ devices in our catalogue · LoRaWAN, NB-IoT and LTE-M · Swedish supplier and support
How it works
From street to decision.
Install sensors
Air, noise, waste, manhole and water sensors across the city.
Connect
LoRaWAN, NB-IoT or LTE-M, with gateways covering large areas.
See
Maps and dashboards show every district and asset.
Act
Alarms and reports send the right team to the right place.
What you can monitor
Device types from our catalogue for urban use.
Air quality
Urban air quality stations for streets, squares and schools.
Noise
Noise monitoring stations for busy streets and event areas.
Waste
Bin level sensors show when containers are full, so collection can follow need.
Manholes and drainage
Manhole sensors help you keep watch on manholes and drains.
Tanks and water
Tank level sensors and overflow radar for water and drainage.
Public facilities
Level sensors for soap and tissue dispensers in public washrooms.

From measurement to action
Examples of how city teams can use the data.
| Area | What you measure | What you can do |
|---|---|---|
| Waste | Fill level in bins and containers | Plan collection routes by actual need |
| Air and noise | Air quality and sound levels | Follow trends and respond to limits you set |
| Drainage | Manhole and tank levels, overflow | Get early warning before problems grow |
| Facilities | Dispenser levels in public washrooms | Refill and clean when needed |
What the platform does
One platform for many departments.
Maps
Place every sensor on a map and see the city at a glance.
Alarms
Alert the right team by e-mail, SMS, Telegram, webhook or MQTT.
Departments and partners
Give each department, contractor or partner a view of its own data.
Open data
Share data with other systems through the REST API and MQTT.
Your own network
Run a private LoRaWAN network across the city, with the server built into the platform.
Your own servers
Install Sensor-Online on-premise inside the municipal network if you need to.
Measuring the environment
City sensors measure places, not people.
Air, noise, waste and water sensors measure the environment. If you plan to monitor people or movement, involve your data protection officer early.

What is a smart city IoT platform?
It collects data from sensors across the city, such as air quality, noise, waste and water, and shows it in dashboards and maps, with alarms and reports for the teams who act on it.
What can I measure in a city?
Air quality, noise, waste bin levels, manholes and drainage, tank levels, water consumption, and the condition of public facilities.
Which networks can the sensors use?
LoRaWAN, NB-IoT and LTE-M. You can run a private LoRaWAN network on your own gateways, or connect to a public one.
Can several departments share one platform?
Yes. Each department, contractor or partner can have its own view and only see its own data.
Can the data be shared with other systems?
Yes. Use the REST API or MQTT to pass data on to other systems and services.
Can it run inside our own network?
Yes. Sensor-Online can be installed on your own servers, with access only to your intranet if you need it.
