After a successful pilot project that included POM and its two biggest competitors, POM was awarded a 3-year contract with the City of Milwaukee for Parktel 2 solar smart meters to cover about 7,000 spaces. Deliveries began in January 2018. The meters are integrated with pay-by-cell, and most meters will cover two (left-right) spaces, saving the City money on hardware and fees, and sidewalk space.
