Living Lab solutions require hardware. Some can be powered by battery, but most will require a stable electrical power supply. Other devices, like cameras use POE (power over ethernet). For example if a UTP ethernet cable exceeds 50 meters or more, the device may not get enough “juice” to operate. To keep things running smoothly, you need to understand the power consumption needs and types. Our suggestion is to align with the maintenance crew or facility managers before you test in an urban living lab.
