The Client

Resopre SA is a Portuguese company headquartered at Avenida Infante Dom Henrique 286 in Lisbon — one of the Portuguese capital's principal east-side avenues running along the Tagus riverfront, named after Prince Henry the Navigator, the 15th-century Portuguese prince whose patronage of maritime exploration launched the Age of Discovery. The address places Resopre in the Santos/Marvila corridor of eastern Lisbon, an area that has become increasingly associated with Lisbon's technology and innovation ecosystem.

This October 2025 order is Resopre's first Fleximodo engagement, making Resopre the third Portuguese customer in the Fleximodo dataset alongside DATAREDE (Madeira) and Multiconnect (Famalicão). While DATAREDE operates from the Atlantic archipelago and Multiconnect from the northern industrial heartland, Resopre enters from the capital — completing a geographic spread across Portuguese mainland (north and centre) and Atlantic territories.

The Challenge: Evaluating Five Sensor Configurations for a Broad Parking Portfolio

Resopre's demo kit is the most product-diverse evaluation package in the October 2025 record and one of the widest demo configurations in the entire Fleximodo dataset. Five distinct sensor configurations are included:

Sensor Mini (Exterior) — the compact outdoor smart parking sensor for surface parking, on-street deployment, and exposed-environment applications where the smaller Mini form factor is advantageous.

Sensor Standard (In-ground) — the flagship 115 mm in-ground parking sensor for permanent in-ground installation in formal parking infrastructure, offering the highest durability and longest operational lifetime.

Sensor Mini (Interior) — the compact indoor sensor for covered car parks, basement parking, and multi-storey structures where environmental protection requirements differ from exterior applications. Interior variants are optimised for the different detection challenges of covered environments (artificial lighting, concrete ceilings, multi-level structures).

Indoor LoRaWAN Gateway — a compact gateway for creating LoRaWAN coverage in indoor evaluation environments, enabling Resopre to test LoRaWAN parking sensor connections without depending on public LoRaWAN network coverage.

Standard NB-IoT — the NB-IoT parking sensor variant of the Sensor Standard, providing cellular connectivity that complements the LoRaWAN-connected sensors and lets Resopre evaluate both protocol options.

The five configurations span three dimensions of the Fleximodo product matrix: form factor (Standard versus Mini), installation environment (exterior versus interior versus in-ground), and connectivity (NB-IoT versus LoRaWAN). This is an evaluation that tests the full breadth of the Fleximodo platform rather than a single product line.

Why Five Configurations in a Single Demo Kit?

A customer who orders five configurations in a single demo kit is almost certainly evaluating Fleximodo for a deployment portfolio that spans multiple parking contexts — not just a single car park or a single on-street zone, but a mixed portfolio that might include outdoor surface parking, indoor multi-storey facilities, and on-street kerbside spaces. In the Portuguese market, this profile is consistent with a company that works across multiple deployment environments:

Municipal parking portfolios in Portuguese cities typically include on-street parking (kerbside), surface car parks, and increasingly multi-storey structures — all requiring different sensor configurations and, often, a parking guidance system layered on top for optimal performance.

Private parking operators managing portfolios that include both indoor garages and outdoor lots need sensors for both environments, often on the same monitoring platform.

Mixed-use developments (retail, residential, commercial) combine interior parking (basement garages) with exterior parking (surface lots or on-street), requiring sensors that work in both environments.

For Resopre, the five-configuration demo lets the company determine which Fleximodo products fit which deployment contexts before committing to a production-scale order. Sensor data from every configuration in the kit flows into Fleximodo's CityPortal dashboard, giving Resopre a single view of parking occupancy detection across interior, exterior, and in-ground installations during the evaluation. The evaluation period will reveal practical differences in installation complexity, detection accuracy, connectivity reliability, and battery performance across the five configurations — information that cannot be obtained from datasheets and that must be validated in the field.

Portugal's Three-Customer Fleximodo Market

With Resopre's Lisbon entry, Portugal now has three active Fleximodo customers covering distinct geographic and commercial segments:

DATAREDE (Ribeira Brava, Madeira) — Atlantic archipelago integrator with Vodafone 10-year connectivity, having placed two orders within ten weeks of each other. Island-geography deployment specialist.

Multiconnect (Famalicão, northern Portugal) — northern mainland integrator; veteran customer with four invoices spread across 22 months. Established production-scale operator.

Resopre (Lisbon, capital) — capital-region entry with the widest product-mix demo kit. Early-stage evaluation with the broadest product portfolio assessment in the Portuguese market.

Together, the three Portuguese customers cover the country's three major economic zones (Atlantic territories, northern industry, capital region), three stages of customer maturity (veteran, mid-trajectory, new entry), and three connectivity approaches (Vodafone bundled, Vodafone 750 MB, and dual NB-IoT/LoRaWAN evaluation). Portugal is becoming one of Fleximodo's most commercially diverse country markets in the Iberian peninsula.

Fleximodo Five-Configuration Demo Kit (Standard + Mini + Interior + NB-IoT + LoRaWAN): Technical Profile

Component	Detail
Sensor Mini (Exterior)	Compact outdoor sensor for surface parking and on-street deployment
Sensor Standard (In-ground)	Flagship 115 mm in-ground parking sensor; IP68, IK10, 99.96% accuracy, 6-year battery
Sensor Mini (Interior)	Compact indoor sensor for covered car parks, basement parking, multi-storey structures
Indoor LoRaWAN Gateway	Compact gateway for indoor LoRaWAN coverage during evaluation
Standard NB-IoT	NB-IoT variant of Sensor Standard for cellular connectivity evaluation
Protocol coverage	NB-IoT (cellular) + LoRaWAN (gateway-based) — dual-protocol evaluation
Environment coverage	Exterior + Interior + In-ground — three installation environments
Form factor coverage	Standard (115 mm) + Mini (compact) — two sensor sizes

The 99.96% accuracy figure quoted for the in-ground Sensor Standard relies on automatic temperature compensation: the sensor continuously recalibrates its magnetometer baseline against ambient temperature, so magnetic-field drift caused by summer heat or winter cold in Lisbon's varying microclimates does not get misread as a vehicle arriving or leaving. Combined with the nanoradar layer in Fleximodo's dual detection technology, this is what keeps occupancy detection accurate across the exterior, interior, and in-ground environments Resopre is testing side by side.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why order five sensor configurations in a single demo kit? Five configurations covering three form factors, three installation environments, and two protocols let the customer evaluate the full breadth of the Fleximodo platform against a deployment portfolio that spans multiple parking contexts — outdoor surface, indoor garages, and on-street kerbside. Field testing reveals practical differences in installation, accuracy, connectivity, and battery performance that datasheets cannot provide.

What is the difference between interior and exterior Sensor Mini? Interior Sensor Mini is optimised for covered environments (car parks, basements, multi-storey structures) where detection challenges differ from exterior applications — artificial lighting, concrete ceilings, and different vehicle approach patterns. Exterior Sensor Mini is designed for open-air surface parking and on-street deployment with full environmental exposure tolerance.

How does the indoor LoRaWAN gateway support the evaluation? An indoor LoRaWAN gateway creates a controlled LoRaWAN network within the evaluation environment, letting the customer test LoRaWAN-connected sensors without depending on public network coverage. This is essential for serious LoRaWAN evaluation — calibrating sensor behaviour and measuring link performance in the actual deployment environment.

What is automatic temperature compensation and why does it matter here? Automatic temperature compensation is a calibration technique built into Fleximodo's magnetometer-based sensors that continuously adjusts for temperature-driven drift in the magnetic-field baseline. Without it, hot or cold weather could shift readings enough to register false vehicle arrivals or departures. It is a key reason Fleximodo sensors maintain 99.96% accuracy across the full range of exterior, interior, and in-ground conditions in a mixed demo kit like Resopre's.
