“Smart area” has a duplicated power supply system – from the Central network as well as Autonomous, powered by solar panels located on the roof. In the event of a failure in a Central network power switches to offline.
these recreational areas are combined into a single network. Employees of the County Council have the opportunity while on their jobs, to change various parameters of each of these stops – maintained inside temperature, illumination brightness, and displayed on the information Board image and data.
