The current project status<\/span><\/h4>\nA total of 100 gateways are planned for the district, primarily in public buildings.
Currently, around 60 gateways are already installed and operational.<\/p>\n
During the third installation round at the end of August 2025, our team was on site for three days and successfully connected numerous locations \u2013 including town halls, schools, fire stations, museums and special landmarks such as:<\/span><\/p>\n– Schneeberg Tower \u2013 highest point in the Fichtel Mountains, ideal for range<\/span>
– Thierstein Castle Ruins \u2013 a historic site that also offers optimal conditions<\/span><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_code _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_code][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
Why LoRaWAN for Wunsiedel?<\/span><\/h4>\nThe wireless network forms the basis for diverse fields of application:<\/span><\/p>\n_ Water level measurement<\/span>
_ Wildfire prevention<\/span>
_ Parking lot or visitor counting<\/span>
_ En<\/span>vironmental and climate data<\/p>\nThe county will decide which sensors will be used in the future. One thing is already clear: the new infrastructure will make the region more efficient, sustainable, and a better place to live. <\/span><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
Next Steps<\/span><\/h4>\nThe next installation round is planned for the end of September. In parallel, ZDE is meticulously documenting all gateways in its own systems and preparing for the upcoming installations. <\/span><\/p>\nThe LoRaWAN expansion in the Wunsiedel district is creating a flagship project for digital infrastructure that can inspire other regions.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
