Nwave Technologies develops low‑power wireless hardware and software for Internet of Things applications, with a primary focus on parking space sensors. The company’s sensors use multiple sensing methods and advanced filtering to accurately detect vehicle presence while rejecting false signals such as underground train activity or electrical noise. They operate without wiring, have a battery life of 5 to 8 years, and communicate directly to a single gateway within a three‑mile range. The platform aggregates real‑time data and provides analytics and payment integration for parking asset owners, enabling efficient space management. In addition to parking, Nwave’s technology supports traffic management, metering, agriculture, oil and gas, and other asset‑management sectors.
