Abstract :
In this paper, an application of modern technologies of remote sensing and wireless power transmission, is presented, in relation to large urban environment monitoring. It is shown that the today technology already offers the possibility to implement a system to be used in several operative scenarios. A possible road map for the full system development is also depicted.
