Smart city solutions provider Telensa has announced a major new smart parking deployment in Minsk, Belarus. Led by Russian partner Gorizont-Telecom, the deployment will lead to smart parking technology in more than 3,000 parking spaces across the capital.

These sensors detect when a vehicle is parked above them and wirelessl

More than 12,600 street lights on Hertfordshire’s A-roads are being upgraded to LED lighting using Telensa’s PLANet street light central management system (CMS), which will allow the lights to be monitored from a central point. This will reduce inspection costs and make it easier to spot and repair any faults. The system will also allow lighting levels on the A-roads to be reduced during the night, rather than turning lights off completely. Once the new lights are installed, light levels will be reduced
