Solution Feature |
- BATS is a CUHK-developed patented network coding technology for wireless data transmission that can be applied to smart lampposts.
- Providing network connectivity to smart lampposts is a big challenge: laying optical fibre not only requires much construction work but also is expensive and takes a very long time.
- Alternatively, existing wireless communication solutions (e.g. WiFi, LoRa, NB-loT) can be used, but the capacity, stability and performance could be concerns.
- BATS requires only a small number of the smart lampposts to be directly connected by optical fibre, while the others can be connected through a wireless multi-hop network. BATS provides fast, stable and cost-effective communication for smart lampposts.
