Complex designs and high implementation costs were limiting factors for most facilities until now. Cost, flexibility, and speed of implementation are among the most significant factors driving wireless PGS adoption.
Wiring was the accepted industry standard; for decades, few alternatives have existed. But, wired PGS is costly to install and maintain, has accuracy issues, is inflexible with limited facility installation locations, typically indoors only, and is not compatible with specific environmental conditions and settings. Nwave’s wireless alternative is game-changing for facilities that need a less expensive, flexible, and highly accurate PGS.

Nwave Wireless Parking Guidance Solution Advantages
A simple example of how Nwave’s Wireless Parking Guidance Systems works
- Nwave wireless sensors operating in per-space mode capture occupancy in real-time with 99.9% accuracy and can optimize utilization in near-capacity garages by filling every open spot. Nwave sensors, deployed in ingress and egress lanes in vehicle counter mode provide 99%+ accurate total vehicle count, and can be combined with per-space sensors in select high-value spaces to deliver cost-effective “hybrid” solutions.
- Nwave Directional Digital Messaging Signs (DMS) provide effective traffic flow management for any built facilities. Nwave RGB LED DMS matrix displays can be programmed to display any combination of text information, shapes and images. Wireless display controllers (via WiFi, 4G, LoRaWAN) simplify installation, reduce installation cost and increase operational reliability.
- Nwave’s Mobile User App shows parking availability helping drivers to pre-plan their trip and navigate drivers to selected locations while providing real-time parking guidance updates during the trip. Parking guidance mobile App functionality can be delivered via APIs integration into your existing App or via Nwave white-labeled Navigation App.
- Nwave’s Analytics Dashboard gives you actionable analytics based on historical trends, heat maps and real-time data. Nwave’s extended APIs deliver a live, 360° view of parking peak hours, volume, turnover, duration of stay, capacity, and more in real-time – that can be easily integrated into your existing parking management platform or accessed via Nwave Analytics Dashboard.
Nwave’s wireless PGS significantly simplifies the planning and installation process, making all PGS types easy to scale, modify and grow with a facility.
Wireless adhesive-installed sensors can be re-positioned as necessary to optimize locations for sensor counters and add or remove sensors in designated spaces. As the projects evolve, wireless Nwave PGS simplifies adapting to new conditions and can easily re-program, add new or move existing DMSs and add or remove wireless sensors.
Choosing a PGS solution comes down to choosing two main domains:
- Type of Vehicle Detecting/Sensing solution
- Type of In-Facility Wayfinding solution
The selection of the vehicle detecting/sensing solution largely defines the selection of the wayfinding solution. If you gather only ingress/egress total vehicle count data for the entire facility, you cannot do any level or directional wayfinding inside of the facility, simply because you do not have the data.
In addition to the available data granularity, the layout of the facility and the budget/costs considerations will, typically, be primary drivers for selecting the optimal type and number of the hardware elements for a specific infacility wayfinding solution. As discussed earlier, we believe that a combination of entrance, level and directional DMSs provide the best value-vs-costs approach for a majority of built facilities.

Nwave’s Wireless PGS Overview:
- Universal PGS platform for all facility types including covered, rooftops, outdoor
- Up to 10x cost reduction vs. wired systems
- Per-space availability and total vehicle counting modes
- Robust, long-range wireless coverage with 2x-3x redundancy – even in built environments
- Modular design minimizes pre-planning, easily adapts to changes, and scales with your project
- Efficient and cost-effective visual guidance of traffic flows via DMS displays
- Clean view, no “visual clutter”, reduced AFF clearance challenges
- Extended APIs for easy integration into mobile apps and dashboards
- The Nwave wireless sensor has a replaceable battery with a 10-year life for zero to very little maintenance.
Nwave Wireless PGS can improve system reliability:
- Electric and data cable or connection failures on wired PGS systems can be difficult to locate and resolve.
- Power or data connection failure of a single row of wired sensors can lead to a loss of the total system’s accuracy.
- Unlike fully wired and semi-wireless systems that still rely on electricity to power their sensors/cameras, Nwave PGS platform ensures that any local electric failure does not impact the functionality and accuracy of the overall system.
- In case of a local electric power failure, battery-powered sensors, backed up by 2-3x redundant long-range wireless base station coverage, ensure that all parking availability data continues to flow to the cloud, ensuring continuous operation and accuracy of the Mobile App, operational Digital Signage and Analytics Dashboard.
