All smart stations now have options such as wheeled lift bins and an enclosed hopper design for a right-fit solution in every environment.

The company invested in innovating the smart waste solution as a multi-purpose infrastructure capable of hosting additional technologies. Bigbelly engaged telecommunications industry expert Alex Gamota as SVP Information and Communication Technologies to drive the aggressive plans to bring this platform to market in 2018. Bigbelly validated this vision at leading industry events such as IOTSWC, SCEWC, and MWC Americas.

"We are extending our value by hosting wireless equipment within our core city infrastructure," commented Phillips.  "Working with strategic telecommunication partners, we can drive Smart City initiatives that modernize waste management and solve problems from the digital divide to bandwidth deficits in dense urban areas."
