In the Internet of Things (IoT)era, cities are transforming into smart urban centers. These cities incorporate connected devices, such as intelligent public lighting systems, to enhance their urban infrastructure. Therefore, this work explores the transformative potential of an IoT-enabled smart lighting system in urban environments, emphasizing its essential role in enhancing safety, economy, and sustainability. In this sense, LoRaCELL (Long-Range Cell) is introduced. LoRaCELL is an innovative system that utilizes edge devices for data collection, such as light intensity, humidity, temperature, air quality, solar ultraviolet radiation, ammeter, and voltmeter. It stands as a pioneering solution for intelligent public lighting systems, contributing to advancing IoT-driven urban development. The outcomes showed that the proposed system could successfully synchronize the devices with each other and send IoT sensing data at a low cost compared to traditional technologies such as LoRaWAN.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s24020574","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,16]],"date-time":"2024-01-16T11:37:18Z","timestamp":1705405038000},"page":"574","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["LoRaCELL-Driven IoT Smart Lighting Systems: Sustainability in Urban Infrastructure"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Iago Z.","family":"Biundini","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical Engineering, Federal University of Juiz de Fora, Juiz de Fora 36036-900, Brazil"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6916-700X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Milena F.","family":"Pinto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electronics Engineering, Federal Center for Technological Education of Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro 20271-110, Brazil"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2735-4792","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Leonardo M.","family":"Hon\u00f3rio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical Engineering, Federal University of Juiz de Fora, Juiz de Fora 36036-900, Brazil"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1380-971X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Miriam A.
