Schimberg and Berlin, 16 November 2023 -For more than five years, local company Alpha-Omega Technology GmbH has been implementing projects for a sensor-based Internet of Things (IoT) under realistic conditions together with the municipality of Martinfeld in Eichsfeld, Thuringia. In the model village of SMARTinfeld, it is thus possible to experience how IoT solutions work for an entire community and thus make village life sustainable for the future. SMARTinfeld is one of the five winners in the innovation competition for digital life in rural areas "Digital Places in the Land of Ideas 2023". The model village received the award on 14 November 2023 in Berlin as the best digital project in the "Smart Community" category. This shows the national importance of the local project. The applications include intelligent street lighting, measuring the temperature on carriageways, the level of particulate matter in the air and moisture in the soil, traffic counting and an IoT weather station park. They are all based on the long-range radio technology Long Range Wide Area Network, LoRaWAN for short, and open source software. The project serves as a blueprint for digitalisation in rural areas.
