Airly Orbital Sensor
Your mobile ally in creating a smarter, cleaner city

This innovative PM, NO₂ and O₃ sensor mounts easily on any vehicle to deliver real-time, high-resolution air quality data across your municipality. By covering areas inaccessible to fixed sensors or drones, Orbital identifies pollution hotspots and inequalities in exposure empowering data-driven decisions on where to act or install permanent monitors. With second-level data resolution and GSM connectivity, it transmits up to 100x more data per dollar than traditional systems.

It's the ideal tool for scaling urban air quality strategies with speed, precision, and community impact.

Mapping pollution on the move with mobile smog monitoring

57 days. 4,250 kilometres. Zero assumptions, just data.

In partnership with Veolia, the City of Łódź deployed Airly’s Orbital mobile sensors to track pollution across the city in real time. By covering hard-to-monitor zones and identifying key pollution hotspots, the project laid the groundwork for smarter sensor placement, school protection strategies, and targeted clean air actions.

How does it work?

1Non-invasive installation

We magnetically attach the Airly Orbital sensor to your (or your partner’s) vehicle – quick, safe and power-efficient.

2Data collection

The vehicle drives along designated routes for 30 to 90 days, recording air quality every 10 seconds.

3Insights delivered

At the end of the project, we provide a detailed PDF report including:

Heatmaps and temporal pollution analysis
Visual pollution insights across PM₁, PM_2.5, PM₁₀, NO₂, and O₃
Maps of vulnerable facilities (schools, hospitals) within high-pollution zones
Recommendations for installing fixed sensors
Two hours of expert consultation to help you interpret the results
