Information and communications technology (ICT) solutions provider Huawei and 813 Vodafone Group have successfully completed the first trial on commercial networks for pre-standard Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) smart parking in Spain.

The two companies have recently launched the world’s first strategic NB-IoT Open Lab to promote the development of the NB-IoT ecosystem and innovative solutions for the market. Following the smart metering trial in Spain last November, the partners are now rolling out the second pre-commercial NB-IoT trial on smart parking.

In collaboration with Fangle and Ublox, the trial took place in Vodafone Plaza in Madrid and covered various indoor parking areas. Smart parking will allow users to access parking data remotely, from mobile application, including checking parking spot availability, navigating to the available spots, etc.

Another smart parking live trial in collaboration with Isbak (Istanbul Transportation Telecommunication and Security Technologies Industry and Trade) is scheduled to take place in Turkey in June.

The companies plan to commercially launch NB-IoT smart parking by early 2017.

The reality is that a combination of pragmatism and good old market forces have seen some concerted moves made towards interoperability in many areas.
