This project in Amsterdam aims to «reward» citizens by activating WiFi signal in the streets if the air quality is good.
As we all know Holland is one of the countries that leads the way with innovative urban projects and in this case is not the exception, since they seek to implement a project that we will surely see implemented later in many cities and cities of the world that have the problem of environmental pollution. Tree WiFi is a project that seeks to involve and reward the people of Amsterdam to collaborate taking measures that help improve air quality in the city.
How does Tree WiFi work?
Tree WiFi works by means of some containers shaped like a house for birds that has a special installation to be implemented in the trees, inside it has sensors that measure and let you know exactly the quality of the air at that moment, besides of course of a router that is in charge of broadcasting the internet signal.
On the roof of this small house of birds are LED lights as a traffic light that can inform the air quality at that time, the green light indicates that the air quality is optimal, the yellow light represents a regular quality of the air and the red light indicates that the air quality at that time is bad.
