Cisco to take up pilot phase under Hyderabad Smart City project

Cisco Systems, a global major in planning, designing and implementation of smart cities, and its technology solutions partner Paradigm Mtuity, will implement a pilot project under Smart City Hyderabad.

The Telangana government, Cisco and Mtuity have come together to plan Smart City Hyderabad by identifying relevant technology interventions/use cases.

Under the MoU signed with the state government, the two companies will implement the pilot project near the bustling Hitech City to showcase real benefit of implementing smart solutions and the impact of technology on society and human well-being.

"In due course of time the results of the pilot phase will be carefully studied by key government officials to advise Cisco and Mtuity on the technology interventions/use cases most relevant for bigger expansion across multiple pockets of Hyderabad city," a state government statement said on Thursday.

The use cases proposed to be implemented during the pilot phase include smart WiFi, smart parking, parking enforcement to detect no parking, smart lighting, smart transport, smart kiosks, remote expert governance services, citizen services portal and citizen app.

In April, a MoU was signed by the state government with the two companies to foster innovation in Internet of Things and Smart Cities.
