In addition, with its circuit board already designed, Bigbelly needed an efficient antenna that would easily retrofit into its system. Having worked with many product types to incorporate cellular and GPS, we knew we could handle this issue.” According to Dolan, “The only problem was that trash cans are typically constructed from metal, which completely blocks RF signals. Back when it was a startup, Bigbelly learned about Taoglas from the leading M2M module manufacturers. The company required an antenna solution that provided reliable, efficient connectivity, even in urban canyons or locations with many buildings, trees and other obstructions. Reinventing waste and recycling collectionīigbelly needed GPS and cellular communication as part of PA.25A-1its solution. Bigbelly is a key infrastructure solution for waste management in the evolution toward Smart Cities powered by data and cloud computing. With the efficiency gains its customers realize, Bigbelly has been instrumental in the implementation of the first widespread public space recycling programs in cities such as New York, Chicago, and Boston, and is now pioneering public space compostable collection as well. The cloud connection provides real-time actionable data on capacity for each type of waste – trash single-stream, bottle/can and paper recycling and organics - to ensure maximized operational efficiency. It features unique compaction technology driven by solar power to deliver increased capacity and total waste containment. The smart, cloud-connected system beautifies public spaces and supercharges operations. In the following years, the company evolved to offer a unique solution for the public space by leveraging renewable solar energy and information technology. Recognizing the opportunities to transform one of the least efficient and most resource-intensive industries on the planet - waste and recycling management - Bigbelly launched in 2003 with the introduction of the first smart waste and recycling system. Technological innovation and waste and recycling management are opposing concepts for most people, but Massachusetts-based Bigbelly links the two with the help of advanced antennas from Taoglas.
