Cisco Cisco Energy Management Optimization Service Information Guide

Background

In line with its commitment to collaborate with the government’s vision of a

Digital India, Cisco announced the ‘Cisco Smart City’ as a blueprint for the future

of smart and connected cities in India. Set in the company’s next generation

campus in Bangalore, the Cisco Smart City uses the Internet of Everything,

(IoE) to showcase how connected education, connected healthcare, smart

buildings, connected transport and smart parking can transform the way cities

and communities are designed, built and renewed to ensure economic, social and

environmental sustainability.

Spread over two million square feet, and designed as a campus-as-a-city for

Cisco employees to work, play and learn, the Cisco Smart City is a spectacular

showcase of how a pervasive physical network infrastructure can easily connect

to devices (such as sensors, information access points and mobile devices) with

a high degree of security. The Cisco Smart City also demonstrates how intelligent

networks could enable digitally empowered citizens avail government services in

real time, online and via mobile platforms. The fully networked campus, enveloped

by artfully designed buildings and collaborative work spaces is a demonstration

of how ‘connecting the unconnected’ creates a more flexible and stimulating

work environment, reduces the carbon footprint, lowers costs and provides more

sustainable operations.

Network Solution

Cisco along with its ecosystem of partners has implemented the Cisco Smart+Connected

solution which includes next-generation network technologies for energy management,

collaborative workspaces, indoor navigation applications and sign-based information.

The IoE technologies showcased at the Cisco Smart City include the following:

• Smart Parking:

The Smart parking system showcases how IoE technology

can be used in a future city where sensors in the parking lot, help to monitor

the number of vehicles parked and indicate empty space available for parking.

Using a mobile phone app, users can check the space available.

Users may also pre-book parking slots in malls, cinema multiplexes, etc.
