Smart Cities

From high-capacity public network infrastructure to reliably and efficiently connected municipal infrastructure, the smart city sector presents significant development challenges with the potential for significant rewards. 8devices has extensive experience developing the components and systems that will help your smart city project succeed.

How can we help?

Network capacity

and interoperability

We offer hardware and software solutions that are perfect for building devices capable of handling potentially massive user numbers and heavy data throughput across a number of communication protocols, including Wi-Fi, 5G, PON (Passive Optical Networks), Bluetooth and more. We can provide your developers with advanced FirmUx programming tools and primitives that abstract away the complexities of the underlying network infrastructure and accelerate development.

Network resource management

Develop network solutions capable of managing dynamic data loads, user volumes, and priority levels to deliver optimal performance. Managing, shaping and prioritizing traffic will require high-performance network devices with software that lets administrators manage their smart city network according to their needs. Developing edge computing capabilities can take this performance even further by delivering efficiency, performance, and fine control for your smart city application.

Easy deployment

IPv6 smart mesh network protocols, Equal-Cost Multi-Path (ECMP) routing, and other advanced software solutions can help make the deployment and expansion of your smart city device networks as easy as possible. This will cut costs, add value, and make scaling much easier.

FirmUx SDK

Our proprietary Linux-based FIrmUx framework makes it much easier to develop firmware and software with advanced network features, remote monitoring, cloud integration, and other features you need to build the best smart IoT network possible. FirmUx helps developers — regardless of their experience level — to rapidly prototype and deploy new applications. Its tools and pre-built modules facilitate easy component reuse and development so you can focus on innovation.

Distributed Node-RED support

Our experienced software engineers and developers are ready to help your company use Distributed Node-RED, a Node-RED extension designed specifically for IoT and edge processing applications. This also makes distributed Node-RED great for developing smart city solutions. This edge processing framework offers automatic component replication across networks to handle increased loads and deliver seamless scalability across large municipal networks.

Product highlights 

Use cases

We can build connectivity solutions for unmanned systems across a wide range of use cases
Public security
High-performance wireless connectivity built on security-hardened hardware and software is a fundamental building block for public security devices.
Public Wi-Fi
Devices with MLO, 4k-QAM, Wi-Fi 7 and other advanced features can be optimized to handle large numbers of simultaneous connections in public settings.
EV charging stations
Multiple-interface compatibility and other added-value features let you build EV infrastructure with both powerline and wireless connectivity.
Parking management
Edge computing and low-latency technologies work with vehicle ID technologies to reduce network congestion and increase functionality.
Traffic management
Resilient and high-performance devices can monitor traffic in real time and make decisions at the network edge.
Public transportation
Delivering mass-user connectivity to stationary and mobile public transportation assets is a great way to increase system uptake.
