CityIoT

Smart cities and wire­less ser­vices

Smart cities of the future with their ser­vices are built on being wire­less and effi­cient in using data. Cities are invest­ing in var­i­ous cen­sor tech­nolo­gies and are look­ing for ways to apply the Inter­net of Things (IoT) in order to devel­op ser­vices. The project defines an open inte­gra­tion plat­form and open IoT inter­faces that break ven­dor-spe­cif­ic bound­aries and allow full uti­liza­tion of infor­ma­tion from var­i­ous sources. The pilot envi­ron­ments of the project pro­vide com­pa­nies with the oppor­tu­ni­ty to research and devel­op their prod­ucts and pro­vide ref­er­ence points for demon­strat­ing their exper­tise.

The future oper­a­tor-inde­pen­dent data inte­gra­tion plat­form (CityIoT) is a 6Aika project fund­ed by the Region­al Coun­cil of Helsin­ki-Uusi­maa from the EU Euro­pean Region­al Devel­op­ment Fund (ERDF). The project is imple­ment­ed by the Uni­ver­si­ty of Oulu, The City of Oulu, the City of Tam­pere, Oulu Uni­ver­si­ty of Applied Sci­ences, and Tam­pere Uni­ver­si­ty of Tech­nol­o­gy. The main imple­menter and coor­di­na­tor of the project is the Uni­ver­si­ty of Oulu.
