Nwave Wireless Parking Guidance System

Nwave Technologies, Inc. has operated since 2012 and is registered in Sacramento, California. Its team of physicists, data scientists and engineers builds wireless parking sensors and parking guidance systems that cut the time drivers spend searching for spaces, with deployments in more than 10 countries including the UK, USA, Ireland, Italy, Germany and Ukraine.

Wire-free sensors mounted on each bay or used for counting report occupancy over Weightless-N or LoRaWAN radio to a long-range gateway that covers hundreds of spaces. Wireless RGB LED message signs guide drivers in indoor, outdoor and rooftop car parks, while a cloud dashboard with live maps reports utilisation and turnover and can flag unauthorised parking in loading zones, bus stops or near hydrants. Data is available through a driver app, APIs and SDKs, and Nwave maintains the network as a managed service. Customers include cities, universities, hospitals, utilities and corporate campuses.

• Wireless bay sensors: Detect occupancy per space or count vehicles without wiring.
• Long-range gateway: Collects data from hundreds of sensors over Weightless-N or LoRaWAN.
• Digital message signs: Guide drivers with wireless RGB LED wayfinding displays.
• Analytics dashboard: Shows live maps, utilisation and turnover reports.
• Unauthorised parking alerts: Flag vehicles in loading zones, bus stops and near hydrants.
• APIs and SDKs: Share occupancy data with driver apps and third-party software.

A shopping mall or hospital car park in Vietnam can show free spaces per level with LED signs without rewiring. Industrial parks and university campuses can monitor surface car parks and EV bays. City authorities can detect parking in bus stops and loading zones on busy streets.

Nwave states 99%+ vehicle detection accuracy and sensor battery life of up to 10 years. Its guidance system can reduce driver search time by up to 60% and raise utilisation by up to 10%. Wireless sensors and signs install without trenching or cabling, which shortens installation in existing garages.

Cruising for parking adds to urban congestion, and operators are adding guidance systems to existing garages to use space better. In Vietnam, rising car ownership is straining parking at malls, hospitals and office towers, where retrofit-friendly wireless guidance avoids costly rewiring.
