Resopre, a Portuguese company based in Lisbon, is testing Fleximodo parking sensors in five configurations at once. The evaluation kit covers indoor and outdoor bays, two sensor sizes and both main low-power networks, so the team can compare them under the same local conditions.
How the project developed
October 2025: evaluation kit delivered. Resopre received a Fleximodo demo kit built around five components:
- Sensor Mini, exterior version, for open-air surface bays
- Sensor Mini, interior version, for covered car parks and basements
- Sensor Standard, in-ground, LoRaWAN
- Sensor Standard, in-ground, NB-IoT
- Indoor LoRaWAN gateway, so LoRaWAN sensors can be tested without relying on a public network
All sensors combine a magnetometer with radar, the setup behind Fleximodo's 99.96% detection accuracy, and report to one Fleximodo dashboard.
Evaluation on site (dates to confirm). With everything on one dashboard, Resopre can compare installation effort, detection and radio performance across the three environments: exterior surface, interior and in-ground. The results feed the choice of which sensor and network to use at each kind of site.
Lessons for similar sites
Test in the real environment. A datasheet cannot show how a sensor behaves in your basement or on your street. Five setups in one kit give a direct comparison under the same conditions.
Match the sensor to the space. The interior Sensor Mini is meant for covered parking, where concrete and steel sit close to each bay. The exterior Mini and the in-ground Standard are for open-air bays, with the Standard sitting flush in the road surface.
Bring your own gateway for LoRaWAN trials. An indoor gateway removes any doubt about public network coverage during the test. For a production site the gateway plan still needs its own survey.
Test both networks before choosing. NB-IoT needs no gateway but depends on operator coverage at the bay. LoRaWAN needs gateways but one can serve many bays. Running both side by side shows which suits each site.
Takeaway: a mixed evaluation kit lets a Lisbon operator choose sensor and network by site type instead of committing to one setup for everything.
