IoT Solutions for Smart Cities
With vast experience in IoT, cloud computing, data analytics, information security, mobile development and more, we are ready to help you shape the smart city vision and bring it to reality. Closely collaborating with the city administration and other project stakeholders, we design and implement end-to-end solutions tailored to the needs of a particular city.
Cooperation Models
We provide full range of services to uphold your city with a reliable, efficient and scalable IoT solution. Our team is ready to join you at any stage and provide:
|
Consulting at the stage of a smart city strategy planningWe bring in knowledge and fresh ideas to create a smart city platform designed to meet the needs of a particular city. Closely cooperating with our clients and defining their particular operational needs, we design a detailed roadmap of the strategy implementation, define a platform’s capabilities and choose the optimal connectivity. We leverage our IoT development experience to bring down implementation costs and reduce risks at all project stages. |
|
Consulting at the stage of smart city application planningWe assist our clients in creating solutions customized to support a particular smart city application. At this stage, we define a solution’s capabilities and come up with the ways to ensure integration with other city services. With iterative approach, we design a core solution and then expand it vertically - adding architecture components - and horizontally - integrating more smart applications. It helps us lower implementation costs and bring risks down to a minimum. |
|
Detailed requirements specificationOur team convenes a project’s stakeholders at the earliest stages to work out clear and comprehensive project specification. |
|
IoT solution implementation based on high-level requirementsOur team closely collaborates with the city administration and other project stakeholders to understand the needs of our clients and ensure cost-effective implementation of smart city solutions, from smart lighting to sophisticated smart utilities. We apply iterative approach, so that our customers get value faster and save investments on large-scale implementation. With T&M price model, our customers pay in parts for the performed work only. It means flexible and negotiable budget and low risks. |
|
IoT solution implementation based on detailed requirementsIf you have detailed project requirements, we thoroughly analyze the specification to define project scope and complexity, provide delivery schedule and fixed budget. As soon as the project is approved by our clients, we are ready to bring it to reality and deliver a turnkey smart city solution. |
We Deliver Solutions for Smart Cities of Different Sizes
We analyze the needs and specificities of large, mid-sized and small cities to come up with the relevant implementation strategy and deliver IoT solutions applicable to every city regardless of its size.
Smart Applications We Implement
We provide our clients with more than just traffic monitoring solutions. With advanced analytics tools and control applications, our smart traffic systems take intelligent actions based on the careful “study” of traffic flow, bringing human intervention down to a minimum.
Our team develops solutions that facilitate the work of utility providers, allowing them to get precise meter readings over a telecom network. It helps them to bill accurately for the amount of energy and water consumed, reveal consumption patterns and redistribute resources accordingly.
We assist our clients in transforming lighting systems. Deploying sensors across the street lighting system and connecting the sensors to the cloud helps to adapt the “behavior” of the streetlights to the outer conditions. As a result, they switch on and off when needed, consuming less energy and bringing down energy costs.
We support our clients in keeping cities clean. With smart waste management solutions, waste containers “tell” when they need to be emptied, releasing truck drivers from emptying half-full containers.
Our team stands on guard of healthier environment. We deliver solutions for monitoring air and water quality. With a dynamic map of air and water quality, city administrations can develop measures to maintain environmental indexes at optimal levels.
For enhancing public safety, we connect CCTV-cameras, microphones and movement sensors to a smart city platform and power it with robust analytics tools. It helps to identify probable crime scenes and successfully track perpetrators.
We leverage the power of IoT and big data to improve public transport schedules, balance public transport load, improve the routes and work out more convenient smart payment methods, like smart cards and mobile payment.
Create Outstanding Citizen Experience
We believe that smart cities are more than just automated cities. We deliver tailor-made turnkey solutions that make smart city benefits visible for citizens. We offer:
- IoT-based smart city platform aimed at improving service delivery and optimizing city infrastructure.
- Service management solutions intended to identify problems before they pose any inconveniences to citizens and address citizens’ queries in a timely manner.
- Citizen portals focused on engaging citizens and creating a community for city dwellers.
Challenges We Solve
|
Substantial investments in smart city technologiesWith our experience in IoT-based smart city development, we’ve come up with the ways to reduce investments in field components and connectivity without losing functional performance. We unite sensors in sensor nodes, so that they share a common power source and processing unit, and wirelessly connect them to a reliable network, sparing investments in network cables. |
|
Poor integration of IoT smart city solutions into current processesImplementing IoT-based smart city solutions, we think about available infrastructure and processes. We adapt the existing infrastructure to suit smart city services without rebuilding it. |
|
Lack of benefit for citizensWe apply iterative approach to make benefits visible for citizens sooner. Breaking large-scale projects down to several sub-projects, we ensure more efficient implementation and faster payoff. With citizen portals and service management solutions, we help our customers to create a common space for city residents and timely respond to citizens’ queries. |
TECHNOLOGIES WE USE
