LoRaWAN and disaster reduction
summary
City deployment runs a three‑year POC with 20 gateways installed across a mid‑sized Tokyo city and 45 auto gauges on small rivers feeding larger channels, claiming 30–40 minutes of early warning during a typhoon. Tests include a 500‑unit gas POC with FOTA and enhanced security, a planned 200,000 rollout and million‑unit city‑gas installs; battery life targets are 3–10 years (5 years for disaster units). A local mesh gateway‑to‑gateway LoRa mode runs without backhaul.
