ParkNode Gen-1 LoRaWAN® Geomagnetic Smart Parking Sensor

Product Overview

ParkNode Gen‑1 is an industrial‑grade LoRaWAN® smart parking occupancy sensor designed for accurate real‑time vehicle detection across smart cities, commercial parking lots, airports, railway stations, residential societies, industrial facilities, and curbside parking infrastructures.

Powered by advanced geomagnetic vehicle detection technology, the sensor intelligently detects vehicle arrival, occupancy duration, and departure events with extremely high accuracy while maintaining ultra‑low power consumption for long‑term outdoor deployment.

Built for modern intelligent parking ecosystems, ParkNode Gen‑1 combines long‑range LoRaWAN® wireless connectivity, rugged IP68 protection, and intelligent magnetic filtering algorithms to deliver stable and reliable parking occupancy monitoring even in harsh outdoor and high‑traffic environments.

The sensor supports both surface‑mount and flush‑mount installation, making it suitable for asphalt roads, concrete parking bays, basement parking areas, smart mobility infrastructure, private parking zones, and public parking automation projects.

With instant occupancy reporting, multi‑year battery life, and seamless integration with smart parking management platforms, ParkNode Gen‑1 helps municipalities and enterprises reduce traffic congestion, improve parking utilization, automate parking enforcement, optimize parking revenue, and enhance driver experience through real‑time parking space availability monitoring.

ParkNode Gen‑1 transforms conventional parking spaces into connected digital assets for scalable, intelligent, and data‑driven smart parking management systems.
