Aveiro Tech City Living Lab

The technological lab (Aveiro Tech City Living Lab) is
an advanced large scale infrastructure,
spanned all over the city of Aveiro,
at the service of researchers, digital
industries, start-ups, scaleups, R&D centres,
entrepreneurs and other stakeholders interested

products or services. This infrastructure
integrates people, through their mobile phones,
sensors and vehicles, such as automobiles,
bicycles in the city and "moliceiros" in
the Aveiro Lagoon, aerial and aquatic drones.

The access infrastructure is supported on state-of-the-art fibre technology, reconfigurable radio units, 5G-NR radio and 5G network services, WiFi, LoRaWAN, Vehicular, and passive Radars, edge computing units, aggregating and interconnecting a panoply of sensors, such as environmental sensors, Lidars, Radars and mobility sensors, and remote information gathering units that extend throughout the urban area of the city of Aveiro.
