Startup Ubicquia has rolled out two streetlight platforms designed for smart cities that integrates Wi-Fi, 4K cameras, directional microphones and neural artificial intelligence (AI) processors.
Called UbiHub, the platforms are compatible with more than 360 million streetlights worldwide and can be installed in seconds by replacing the existing streetlight photocell socket. According to Northeast Group, a smart infrastructure market intelligence firm, integrating multiple functions into one platform for smart cities is a way to reduce the cost of ownership for municipalities by 42% compared to conventional solutions.
