From November 3 to 5, 2026, the international smart city community will meet in Barcelona, and ZENNER will be there! At the Smart City Expo World Congress (SCEWC), we will present innovative solutions for smart water networks and resilient cities. (LoRa Alliance stand, Hall 3, Stand B41)
As a global industry gathering, the SCEWC is considered the leading event for urban innovation and digital transformation. We will demonstrate how the LoRaWAN® IoT wireless standard can be used to intelligently connect devices and sensors, thereby laying the foundation for sustainable, scalable smart city concepts worldwide.
Learn how cities can use LoRaWAN to connect their infrastructure, use resources more efficiently and drive forward new digital applications. Smart metering systems, particularly the remote reading of water meters, offer a strategic starting point for building a connected urban infrastructure.
Meet ZENNER at SCEWC
Join our experts at the LoRa Alliance Pavilion, Hall 3, Booth B41, during the Smart City Expo World Congress 2026 in Barcelona. ZENNER will contribute to discussions on connected infrastructure, LoRaWAN and the role of smart city use cases in building more intelligent, efficient cities.

The Anchor Use Case for Smart Cities
Jan-Philipp Exner | Moderator
From smart water to smart cities
For many utility companies, the digital collection of water meter data marks the first step towards digitalisation. Further applications can be integrated onto a shared LoRaWAN infrastructure, such as water level monitoring, leakage detection, smart lighting, smart parking, and the monitoring of energy consumption and environmental data.
With its portfolio of measurement technology, sensors, communications infrastructure and IoT platforms, ZENNER supports cities, local authorities and utility companies in implementing digital solutions tailored to their needs and gradually expanding existing infrastructure.
ZENNER established presence in the LoRaWAN network at an early stage
Large-scale urban IoT applications can be implemented very effectively using LoRaWAN. Long range, low power consumption and a long service life are just some of the advantages of this technology. It is a unique network that also supports a wide variety of applications. Smart metering systems, particularly the remote reading of water meters, can form a strategically important starting point for building a connected urban infrastructure.
LoRaWAN for towns and local authorities of all sizes
Whether in densely populated urban areas, medium-sized towns, rural communities or specialised industrial environments – LoRaWAN, with its flexibility and adaptability, is suitable for all requirements. ZENNER supports over 100 towns and local authorities. The following examples show how towns, local authorities and utility companies are using LoRaWAN with ZENNER.
Bonn
In collaboration with Stadtwerke Bonn, ZENNER has established a comprehensive LoRaWAN network to serve as the foundation for digitalisation at city level. This example demonstrates how digital infrastructure can be deployed on a large scale to interconnect various applications across the smart utility, smart city and smart building sectors.
Amberg
Amberg Municipal Utilities is working with ZENNER to expand its digital infrastructure and, using LoRaWAN, is laying the foundations for a wide range of smart city applications. From black ice detection and the monitoring of winter maintenance silos to smart parking and soil moisture measurement, the project demonstrates how a shared network infrastructure can be used to meet a variety of local authority requirements.
Dillingen
A LoRaWAN network has been in place in Dillingen since 2021. Today, with 20 gateways and around 9,000 sensors, it enables a wide range of applications throughout the town and in buildings. Wireless meter reading for water meters, indoor air quality monitoring and digital car park management demonstrate just how flexible a shared infrastructure can be.
Europa-Park
As a theme park attracting millions of visitors and with complex operational processes, Europa-Park in Rust places particular demands on its infrastructure. LoRaWAN opens up new possibilities for digital applications at Europa-Park. ZENNER is supporting the roll-out of the relevant infrastructure, for example for water level monitoring, AI-supported visitor counting and predictive maintenance of rides.
