Noise pollution monitoring
Noise pollution is a persistent problem for residents in an urban environment. Recent studies have estimated that nine in ten people in major cities are exposed daily to noise levels exceeding international guidelines. The negative health effects of excess noise include disturbed sleep, hearing loss, cognitive disorders, and high blood pressure.
The Bako noise pollution IoT devices use a high accuracy microphone for achieving reliable readings and are battery-powered with operations of up to 5 years. The noise sensors are placed in locations over a defined area, then are managed to collect and transfer data usually every 15 minutes to generate detailed real-time reports allowing cities and enterprises highly reliable, continuous and ubiquitous data collection, to generate highly reliable noise maps affordably and more quickly than possible previously.
Advantages of the Bako IoT noise monitoring solution
- High quality reports – accurate real-time information
- Reliable and flexible demand generation – frequency of data collection is programmable up to every five minutes
- Cost effective solution – a fraction of the cost of the traditional measurement deployments
- No dependence on a WiFi or Bluetooth infrastructures – the long range of the LoRa® networks allows the flexibility to deploy the devices wherever necessary
- Quick deployment of multiple devices
