U-FLAG

U-Flag harvests data from Urbiotica sensors and conveys it through a network of repeaters. It needs to be installed in urban elements that provide height. The electrical requirements of the product limit its installation to lamp posts, traffic lights and building facades. Its simple geometry respects the place where it is installed. It has a large front radius, is pleasant to the eye and adopts the round shape of the street luminaries.

Its pale tone prevents the sun’s rays from heating it and it has no glare. Only a minimum volume is required although it houses a variety of communication systems, complex electronics and rechargeable batteries, providing it with the autonomy to run for 48 hours without the need for electric supply.
