Likewise, mobile services have become essential to the modern economy. Launching a mobile brand to offer citizens free, discounted, or affordable data plans is a great way to generate additional revenue streams and create economic opportunities while keeping costs low and predictable.SMS / Text Engagement
SMS is a great way to broadcast important information — from amber alerts to traffic updates, severe weather warnings, and other public-safety related messages. It can also be used to promote events, important dates, and hours of operation for government offices.Smart City and the Internet of Things (IoT)
These days, cities, counties, and municipalities all over the world leverage data and technology to create efficiencies, improve sustainability, foster economic development, and enhance the overall quality of life for residents and visitors alike.These ‘Smart Cities’ rely on IoT to collect and analyze data such that resources and assets can be better distributed across the broad range of their alternative uses.Here are some examples applicable to the public sector...
Public Transportation
Digital timetables and kiosks can provide real-time estimates for arrivals, departures, and travel times, as well as information pertaining to unforeseen or expected delays. They can also be used for digital ads, promotions, emergency alerts, and other service and public-safety related messages. Apps and SMS can be used to communicate relevant information with commuters.Public Safety
Violent crimes are costly. They take not only an emotional toll on victims, but also inflict concrete economic costs. What’s more, they impose large costs on communities through lower property values, higher insurance premiums, reduced investment, and higher taxes. Smart security cameras, city lighting, and other connected devices can help cities fight back.Smart Buildings
Smart buildings use smart appliances and IoT platforms to bolster safety and create economic efficiencies. Smart meters can provide real-time utilities data, smart sensors can power intelligent lighting systems, smart thermostats can reduce heating and cooling costs, while smart carbon monoxide detectors and smoke detectors can keep employees and residents safe.Environment
Air quality monitors can be used to analyze the air for aerosol concentration, enabling Smart Cities, governments, and other organizations to manage air quality more efficiently and maintain high-quality health standards. Likewise, Gas Monitoring Systems enable organizations to address leaks quickly and efficiently.Energy Management
Smart energy management platforms can be used to optimize energy production and resource allocation around user consumption trends. Moreover, interconnected systems of smart streetlights and other real-time monitoring devices can be used to maximize smart infrastructure and cut down on unnecessary energy consumption.Traffic Congestion
By placing smart cameras at key locations and implementing machine learning technologies to count car volume and measure capacity, IoT traffic solutions can help infrastructure managers identify and respond to instances of congestion, peak hours, and environmental factors (accidents, weather, etc.).Related News
