Unify the infrastructure and deliver new citizen services.
Cities around the world face an increasing array of challenges: congestion, safety and security, waste and water management, and access to education and healthcare. Businesses and city managers alike are looking to technology to help them find efficient ways to provide more services with less while enhancing livability.
Cisco Smart+Connected City Wi-Fi serves as the foundation for creating a connected city. The City Wi-Fi allows for a confluence of data from static sensors as well as connected objects and people. This data can inform city processes and improve the delivery of urban services and the management of infrastructure.
Smart+Connected City Wi-Fi also helps cities provide citizens with Internet connectivity and access to a broad range of citywide services. Well-run, culturally rich cities attract investment, business, tourism, and new residents.
Public Wi-Fi gives citizens the flexibility to access the Internet over a smartphone, tablet, or other device when they are in public spaces within Wi-Fi range.
Location-based services help city planners acquire near real-time data. Planners gain insight into how a city functions and how its citizens live, which can help them provide better services.
Virtual tourist applications provide visitors with access to historical facts as well as ideas for visiting landmarks.
City commerce empowers local merchants to publish targeted offers and deals to citizens based on their location. Merchants gain a new way to position their business and value proposition.
Parking applications provide citizens with information on real-time parking availability, thereby reducing congestion.
Traffic applications give city traffic operators a real-time view of live traffic conditions and incidents which dramatically reduce response time and time to recovery.
