Moka enhances its
smart city status through an IoT platform
The transformation of the Moka region into a liveable smart city is underpinned by the citysmarting concept, which is a continuous improvement process that keeps pace with urban development. This includes the use of information and communication technology to improve the quality of urban services. Moka Smart City is well aware of that and is forging ahead with the acquisition and installation of smart sensors across the city as well as the implementation of an IoT (Internet of things) platform for data collection. This solution supports the goals and vision laid out at the time of the launch of Moka Smart City in 2017.
Moka Smart City will use an agnostic technological platform to make connected objects at specific sites available to everyone living and working in Moka for efficient monitoring and management of daily activities. Five types of connected objects will be available:
Level sensors at the voluntary drop-off points
12 at Vivéa Business Park, Helvétia, Telfair and Courchamps already completed
Smart digital public lighting system
50 across the smart city E1nvironmental sensors
in Moka and 2 in Rose Hill and Port Louis for comparison
500 completed and 1,000 to be completed across the smart city
1Recycled water meters next to the future water
treatment plant
Sensors for water usage control

Beneficiaries will have access to their personal data on the IoT platform by logging on to the new Moka website. They will be able
to analyse their energy, water and electricity use, among others, in order to optimise, reduce or improve their consumption. Residents of Les Promenades d’Helvétia will
be the very first to use this new technology, which is both convenient and environmentally friendly.
These devices will be used to optimise:
X Waste management
X Electricity consumption
X Mobility
X Water consumption
X Energy consumption
X Building performance
