WiiUNG - The Parking Lot Sensor





WiiHey’s in-ground parking lot sensor enables you to monitor your parking facilities efficiently with real-time, individual vehicle, individual space data. It is the key to smart, active parking lot management.

The effectiveness of a parking lot management system is greatly relied on detection of available parking spaces. WiiUNG offers parking lot sensing technology that can be easily tailored to your existing parking system, to monitor parking traffic, and to gather live, precise information from each individual parking lot space.

The heart of the WiiUNG sensor is an electro-magnetic sensor that measures the X, Y and Z-axis components of the Earth’s magnetic field. As vehicles come within range of the sensor, changes in the surrounding magnetic field occur and are detected. Each sensor continually monitors the background magnetic field using advanced filtering and noise reduction techniques to differentiate parking events from other electromagnetic interferences or false events.

The WiiUNG sensor transmits data via LPWAN (Low Power Wide Area Network) technologies, i.e., NB-IoT (Narrow Band-IoT) or UNB-IoT (Ultra Narrow Band-IoT), and is battery powered for several years, so it requires no wires for installation and can be easily fitted into each parking lot space.

WiiUNG supports two optional wireless communication methods -- UNB(Ultra Narrow Band) IoT technology and NB (Narrow Band)-IoT technology. Both technologies have transmission ranges of up to several kilometers in urban environments, with very low power consumption, data are then transmitted to cloud sever for further processing and delivery into the end-user’s system.
