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.

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.
