Smart City IoT Solutions
5G: Enabling intelligent and connected Urban Environments
Cities face a multitude of challenges and must keep pace with the impact of (technological) progress in interdependent areas such as the automotive, transportation and social sectors. 5G offers an unprecedented opportunity to transform cities into smart, future-proof ecosystems where technology can enrich the city's structure and quality of life. The new technology’s unparalleled high speed, low latency, and high capacity provide new opportunities to optimize the areas of infrastructure, traffic, public transport, healthcare, energy and water/wastewater systems and subsequently transform cities into intelligent ecosystems, where technology seamlessly integrates with everyday life. It can power innovative applications ranging from i.e. autonomous vehicles and smart grids to remote healthcare and augmented reality experiences.
Develop custom solutions to enrich future-oriented and smarter cities with Atlantik Elektronik!
With the latest edge computing technologies, built on high-performance and low-power AI platforms, deep neural network algorithms and edge cloud synergy can be easily implemented, and multiple AI processing modules can be integrated. AI-enabled edge computing powering low-latency analysis enables split-second decision-making directly at the substation which subsequently contributes to innovative, seamless smart solutions in i.e. (cyber) security, traffic management, or transportation. To enhance the technological framework of a smarter city and create next-generation smart grid solutions, IoT gateways, particularly designed for low-voltage substations and distribution automation applications, are essential. IoT platform support (incl. AWS and Azure) additionally facilitates the management of smart city applications. Cloud-managed, semi-ruggedized routers in addition, provide for secure and reliable connectivity with 5G/LTE in IoT network applications. Especially LTE and 5G-ready high-speed cellular communication secures the reliability of low-latency operations and therefore allows for uninterrupted operations and advanced protection against cybersecurity threats posed on urban infrastructure.
Smart City Solutions - Just as multifaceted as the city itself!
By integrating 5G, the public and the private sector can leverage new opportunities for economic growth, social progress, and environmental sustainability in urban environments. While the public sector in the form of government agencies, urban planners, and public service providers are crucial in enabling smart city solutions by considering new technologies in policymaking, planning, and management, the private sector, such as technology companies, telecommunication companies, and real estate developers, are essential for developing and implementing the required technological and structural solutions for intelligent urban concepts and infrastructure.
Our well-established network of carefully selected partners and our portfolio of the latest technologies and components allow for the seamless integration and development of customized partial and complete solutions for smart city applications. Whether a public or a private actor, we can support your solution project along the entire value chain and help you with implementing a future-oriented city concept.
Application Fields for Smart City Solutions
Especially the energy sector can profit from smart city solutions and become more future oriented and efficient since technologies like 5G and IoT enable smarter energy production (i.e. in wind parks) as well as smart energy distribution via smart grids in urban environments. These solutions can significantly facilitate the integration of renewable energy sources and allow for simpler management of demand and smarter metering/monitoring. A more efficient energy management also contributes largely to increasing sustainability in urban environments. With 5G solutions for smart environment, pollution control and environmental monitoring, cities can realize more sustainable urban development and life. In regard to public safety, 5G and edge computing solutions can provide the opportunity for unprecedented real-time public surveillance, improved public safety systems with new prevention measures and more efficient emergency responses. Transportation and traffic management can also become more functional and smarter with new 5G solutions. Ranging from autonomous vehicles to more efficient public transport systems, and real-time traffic monitoring and management, the public and private sector can utilize 5G solutions for developing smart urban solutions. Other applicable fields for smart city solutions include smart retail in the form of smart shopping and store/mall concepts, as well as innovative delivery options.
