Orange Polska has signed an agreement with a leading city council in Poland to use CAT-M1 IoT technology for intelligent waste management.
The companies will use CAT-M1 IoT technology to enable the possibility of checking the time of filling of waste containers, and the functioning of the waste collection and processing system in the city.
The signed agreement will allow to assess the time of filling of waste containers that are located in different locations. Thanks to a thorough analysis, it will also enable an optimized schedule of municipal waste collection from particular areas of the city. This will improve the functioning of the entire system and increase its efficiency. This will translate into maintaining cleanliness in the city, improving the comfort of living of its residents, said Orange Polska.
CAT-M1 IoT network which operates on Orange Polska's 4G mobile network, allows to transfer data between devices - sensors, servers, systems and can handle them up to one million per square kilometer. It also ensures low energy consumption, which is especially important when the devices operate on batteries. It also allows reaching reach to places such as basements or underground garages.
Orange Polska offers not only connectivity, but a wider range of services, covering primarily the collection, aggregation and presentation of data flowing from Internet of Things devices. In the future, apart from creating smart cities, the Internet of Things can be used in agriculture, logistics, heavy industry and many other industries, said Orange Polska.

Orange Polska is not limited to providing telecommunications services, but supports cities in digital transformation. Intelligent waste management should not be limited only to the provision of information via the mobile network. It is equally important that the system that manages the entire process communicates with waste collection vehicles and changes their route to empty the bin.
