Parkki, a leading French solution provider for Smart Parking for shopping malls, cities and businesses, has partnered up with Actility, global provider of IoT connectivity solutions, and currently deploys thousands of LoRaWAN sensors using Actility’s ThingPark Enterprise platform, allowing to determine the number of places left, to get directions to a free parking place and more.
The number of parking spaces of a supermarket usually varies between 700 and 3000 for the biggest ones. Up to date, Parkki has already deployed 6000 Smart Parking Sensors on various instances. For example, for the Super U supermarket in Saint Jean de Monts in France, Parkki is currently installing 4 outdoor gateways and 400 Bosch Smart Parking sensors connected to LoRaWAN. A new deployment is plan on the Reunion Island with 700 sensors.
“With Actility, we established a strong win-win relationship. Now that we are expanding our solutions at industrial scale, we found a solid partner to go global, as Actility platform provides extended IoT expertise and 24/7 support”, says Pierre-Julien Harbonnier, CEO of Parkki.
“We are happy to partner with such an innovative player as Parkki and to address this rapidly growing vertical together. Our common goal is to provide a scalable IoT Solution and achieve massive industrial development on the global market”, adds David Royet, Sales Director – South Europe & MEA at Actility.
“We are thrilled to work with two innovative partners: Actility and Parkki. Thanks to their know-how, parking management in real-time is easy with the Bosch Parking Lot Sensor! Our sensor is certified by the Lora Alliance and works perfectly with Actility’s LoRaWan Network Server. Parkki brings the data management platform and its algorithms. It guides drivers to available spots thanks to mobile application and staking. Together we can support communities in reducing CO2 exposure by reducing parking search time!” stated Franck Cazenave, Smart Cities & Real Estate Director at Bosch.
