Outdoor Edge Systems Key Characteristics

• Durability: They are housed in rugged enclosures that protect the internal components from the elements and potential physical damage.
• Compactness: These systems are often designed to be compact and efficient, taking up minimal space while providing the necessary computing power.
• Connectivity: Equipped with advanced networking capabilities, they can connect to various devices and sensors, enabling real-time data processing and decision-making at the edge of the network.
• Energy Efficiency: To accommodate the constraints of outdoor deployment, these systems are typically energy-efficient, possibly incorporating renewable energy sources like solar panels.
• Low Latency: By processing data locally, they reduce the need to send data back to a central data center for processing, resulting in lower latency and quicker response times for critical applications.

WiFi 6 Connectivity for AI Smart City Applications

Intelligent Transportation System, and smart traffic management systems are an indispensable component in developing Smart Cities. In any city, mobility is a key concern, and not just limited to traffic congestion control and information, but also road safety and efficient infrastructure usage. These technology solutions prepare Smart Cities for coming technology evolutions, including Connected Autonomous vehicles (CAVs) and full deployment of 5G networks.

These systems are utilizing connected networks, cameras, and in-vehicle sensors such as GPS, to cloud-based data sources of weather data, street conditions, situational awareness, video surveillance for automatized data collection with precise location information. Then the connected data sources are combined with sophisticated data analysis and artificial intelligence (AI) capability for an interconnected system that can power smart decisions, in real-time.

This combination of data information and communication technologies of hardware, software and cloud solutions can greatly improve the safety, efficiency, and sustainability of transportation networks, to reduce traffic congestion, air pollution and to enhance drivers’ experiences. The possibilities are endless.
