From The Cirrus Group
As cities and communities become more connected, networked and technologically sophisticated, new challenges and opportunities arise that demand a rethinking of traditional approaches to sustainability, resilience, public safety and social services, information and communications, and the human relationship to technology. The design and integration of intelligent infrastructure—including embedded sensors, the Internet of Things (IoT), advanced wireless information technologies, real-time data capture and analysis, and machine-learning-based decision support—holds the potential to greatly enhance economies, social interaction, public safety and security, and overall community resilience, while addressing new and emerging challenges in society.
This Cirrus Group was formed in response to these evolving and increasingly integrated environments, and to provide a more integrated pathway for the propagation of smart city technologies.
