Smart Tourism & Crowd Monitoring: How La Unión Built its “Digital Brain”
Discover how La Unión (Murcia) uses Libelium’s IoT technology and iris360 to lead the way in...
Urban mobility
Know which spaces are available. Understand how every parking area performs.
Combine reliable space-level detection, flexible connectivity and iris360 analytics to understand current availability, occupancy, rotation and historical parking behaviour.
Increase availability and rotation
Understand how each space and zone performs.
Reduce search traffic
Help drivers find available spaces and reduce unnecessary circulation.
Manage every type of space
Monitor PMR, loading, charging and restricted-use areas.
THE CHALLENGE
More than knowing if a space is occupied
Libelium combines reliable detection at space level with flexible connectivity, remote device management and iris360 analytics — so the same infrastructure that tells you what is available now also helps you understand how each area is being used over time.
KNOW EVERY SPACE
Monitor the status of individual spaces and organise them into parking groups and complete projects.
DESIGN THE RIGHT NETWORK
Choose LoRaWAN or NB-IoT according to location, existing infrastructure and how distributed the monitored spaces are.
OPERATE REMOTELY
Monitor operational status, connectivity and device information without treating every sensor as an isolated asset.
UNDERSTAND PERFORMANCE
Analyse occupancy, occupied time, rotations and historical patterns to understand how different spaces and areas perform.

WHAT HAPPENS ·
What happens
Parking sensor
Libelium capabilities
Output
Parking sensor
High-precision radar and magnetic detection of vehicle presence.
LoRaWAN or NB-IoT
The device transmits over the network best suited to the site.
iris360
Centralises availability data across the whole parking network.
Availability, alerts & reports
Drivers, operators and administrations get the view they need.
Physical layer
Libelium Smart Parking Sensor
A robust space-level parking sensor designed to detect vehicle occupancy reliably and transmit every status change through a communications architecture adapted to the deployment.
Radar + Magnetic
Radar-Based Detection
A single radar-and-magnetic sensor node for reliable space-level occupancy, reducing false states caused by surrounding traffic or environmental conditions.
CE / FCC / UKCA
Worldwide Certified
Fully certified according to CE, FCC, UKCA, IP68 (EN 60529) and IK10 (EN 50102).
Surface / Flush
Two Installation Options
On-surface and semi-underground, to fit any urban or private parking environment.
Low Maintenance
Near-Zero Maintenance
Over-the-air programming and a low-maintenance design built for continuous outdoor operation.
Smart Parking Radar Node
Smart Parking Sensor → LoRaWAN or NB-IoT → iris360
LoRaWAN / NB-IoT
Connectivity
Occupancy changes are sent over LoRaWAN or NB-IoT, chosen per deployment for range, density and infrastructure — see the connectivity options below.
Remote Management
Remote Operation
Device parameters and operational status can be managed remotely once deployed.
Anti-Interference
Stability Against Interference
Vehicle-position independence and stability against interference, for consistent detection over time.
Low TCO
Cost-Effectiveness
High detection reliability with reduced maintenance needs, lowering the total cost of ownership over time.
Connectivity
Connectivity
Choose the connectivity that best fits each deployment — long-range low-power LoRaWAN, or carrier-grade NB-IoT.
Data profile
Small packets and scheduled transmissions
Power consumption
Optimised for low-power communication
Coverage
Existing, privately deployed or public LoRaWAN network
Infrastructure
May require LoRaWAN gateways
Network ownership
Allows operation of a private network
Mobility
Primarily static nodes
Remote management
Downlinks subject to LoRaWAN link availability and scheduling
Recommended use cases
Agriculture, water, indoor, underground and remote deployments
SOFTWARE LAYER
From space-level availability to parking-performance intelligence
iris360 brings together data from individual parking spaces and parking areas to help operators understand availability, occupancy, rotation and historical patterns across the whole parking operation.

Live Availability
Know which spaces are available now
See space-level status in real time at project, parking-group and individual-space level, to understand where parking is available and how availability is distributed.
Project
centralises Smart Parking data and turns space-level status changes into availability, occupancy, rotation and historical parking intelligence.
Already have your data?
Connect existing sensors directly to iris360
Deploying iris360 does not require replacing existing hardware or wireless sensors. Our open FIWARE NGSI-LD models, REST and MQTT ingestion pipelines connect directly to legacy devices, giving you unified operational dashboards from day one.
Operational value
Turn parking data into better operational decisions
Connect space-level telemetry directly to guidance, enforcement, tariff policies and infrastructure investments.
