Smart Cities cityscape Sustainable smart city green building architecture

Smart cities can deliver a better quality of life, from citizen safety, to the morning commute.

Smart cities can use the latest technologies to monitor pollution levels and water consumption. The authorities are then able to take action to create a more sustainable environment based on real data. Technology can be used to monitor crime levels, to allow effective deployment of resources. Commuters can receive real time information regarding traffic and delays, allowing people to reduce their journey time.

How Axians can help Smart Cities

Axians acts as the crucial link that brings together all business activities from VINCI Energies to make life more comfortable for all people. Providing them with efficient transportation and helping protect the environment.

Communications

Axians deploys 3G/4G networks, WiFi hotspots and fiber to facilitate communications and mobility. The city has the right tools to provide pioneering, real-time services to all users.

Waste Management

Sensors placed in containers indicate the load collected, and may trigger an alert in case of a fire outbreak. Monitoring and data analytics solutions make it possible to manage the overall waste management infrastructure.

Transport

Axians collects data from sensors for smart traffic regulation and car park management. With Big Data analytics provided, Axians leads the way to new applications such as selecting the best route or means of transportation.

Urban safety

The communications backbone deployed and maintained by Axians supports video surveillance solutions that make the city safer and friendlier. Citizens can even rely on mobile geo-location apps to alert law enforcement organizations.

Making cities smarter, greener and more human

As urban challenges rise, cities need to evolve into intelligent, people-centered platforms. At Axians, we design, build, and operate the digital backbone of data-driven cities that lets data flow seamlessly and securely. We turn real-time insights into smarter operations: from lighting and roads to environmental monitoring and mobility services. By turning data into action and complexity into clarity, Axians helps cities become smarter, greener, and ready for the future.

Communication Infrastructure for the Smart City

There is no single, universal solution for connecting all the buses, cars, urban lighting, and water and energy systems that have built-in sensors. The best solution for a municipality is a combination of mobile, fibre, WiFi, and Lora. Each technology meets a specific need, in terms of coverage, reliability, and efficiency. The choice of technology will depend on the priority – range, cost, energy consumption, bandwidth, latency, or data transfer rate.
