Problem
Drivers spend excessive time circling for open spots, leading to congestion, elevated stress, and lost revenue for facility operators. Traditional wired parking guidance systems require costly, time‑intensive installation and ongoing maintenance, limiting scalability across indoor, outdoor, and rooftop garages.
Solution
Nwave delivers a wireless parking guidance platform that replaces hard‑wired infrastructure with battery‑powered sensors capable of per‑space detection or aggregate counting. The sensors transmit real‑time occupancy data over a long‑range gateway to a cloud‑hosted analytics engine, which feeds dynamic wayfinding to RGB LED signage and a web dashboard. With 99%+ detection accuracy and up to ten‑year battery life, the system can be deployed in days without disrupting operations, providing operators with live utilization maps, historical turnover analytics, and pricing insights to boost occupancy and revenue.
Target Audience
Primary customers are parking operators and facility managers at airports, hospitals, universities, corporate campuses, and municipal garages seeking to improve driver experience and maximize space utilization.
