Sensor networks, traffic data and citizen dashboards on sovereign infrastructure – enabling cities to use their data without relinquishing control over it.
Smart city projects stand or fall on trust – citizens and councillors need to know where the data is stored.
LoRaWAN gateways and sensor networks transmit data via MQTT to scalable ingest endpoints – from car park sensors to environmental monitoring.
Time series on NVMe volumes and long-term archives in S3 make it possible to analyse trends over a period of years.
C5 certification, ISO 27001 on the basis of IT-Grundschutz and German data centres meet the requirements set by local authorities and data protection officers.
Managed services ensure continuous operation – which is important where local authority IT teams have a lot of work but few staff.
Sensor data is fed into open standards (e.g. FIWARE-compatible platforms), dashboards display traffic, weather and utilisation levels, and open-data interfaces make selected datasets available to the public and start-ups – all under local authority control.
Customers typically implement this use case using these building blocks – which can be combined and expanded at any time.
Run smart city platforms with confidence: sensor data, dashboards and citizen services on German infrastructure suitable for local authorities.
