Montpellier Métropole Connectée relies on information and communication technologies, such as the LoRa network and the IoT (Internet of Things), strategically to help improve the quality of life of its inhabitants, the management of its resources and the performance of its public services.
Every project and initiative we undertake is driven by our desire to prepare a sustainable future. We are working to make our Metropolis a more self-sufficient, greener and more inclusive territory.
Strategic priorities: the metropolis of tomorrow
1. Montpellier Métropole Connectée: an independent, controlled project
- Digital sovereignty: we are centralizing our Information System for more efficient and secure data management, guaranteeing total control over our digital resources.
- Global interoperability: our membership of the LoRa Alliance enables us to standardize our technologies, ensuring the efficiency, reliability and sustainability of our connected infrastructure.
- LoRa coverage: An open source LoRa network covering 100% of the Metropole's territory, ensuring real-time management of resources and infrastructures. This technology is also made available to the Montpellier group's partners (TAM; Altémed; Régie des eaux...)
- Open Data Platform : The Metropole of Montpellier uses open data to strengthen transparency, encourage innovation, improve public services, foster citizen involvement and modernize urban management.
2. Use cases serving the ecological transition and sustainable innovation
- Intelligent waste management: sensors measure the filling of Voluntary Drop-off Points (PAV), optimizing collection rounds and helping to reduce environmental impact while cutting logistics costs.
- Air quality:thanks to connected sensors we measure CO₂, temperature and humidity levels in real time, guaranteeing healthier environments for our citizens.
- Preservation of works of art:in collaboration with the Fabre and Henri Prades museums, we use temperature and humidity sensors to ensure optimal conservation of collections. This technology protects our cultural heritage by maintaining ideal conditions for the works.
- Innovation at the service of culture: we integrate advanced digital technologies to improve the management and conservation of our heritage, partnering with academics and climate specialists ensuring an enriching experience for visitors while preserving the integrity of the works.
- Water remote reading: the Régie des Eaux de Montpellier Méditerranée Métropole has undertaken to develop remote reading for its water meters. This project aims to improve the management of consumption data and offer additional services to subscribers. Remote reading also enables better protection of water resources by detecting leaks after meters more effectively
- Ville en alerte: flood monitoring and management, sensors installed for real-time monitoring of 290km of waterways to support the 31 communes integrated into the "Ville En Alerte" system.
Digital IOT twin (JN4D IOT): a unique showcase for the Metropolis
As part of our data enhancement policy, this 3D web mapping platform offers transparent access to data from sensors installed on the territory.
This approach reflects our desire to be an open and modern service, where information is accessible and shared with the citizen
This platform provides real-time access to a variety of data from sensors and other convergent sources via API feeds from OPEN DATA.
The Metropole of Montpellier stands out for its adoption of innovative technologies, including an open source LoRa network covering 100% of its territory, ensuring real-time management of resources and infrastructure. The commitment to open data enhances transparency and accessibility, fostering innovation and citizen involvement.
Further innovative use cases are in the pipeline to continue modernizing urban management and strengthening citizen engagement.
