STMicroelectronics Presents Smart-City, IoT Technologies at i-SEDEX 2015

The Smart City concept aims to use sensing, connectedness and data processing to increase energy efficiency and productivity.

STMicroelectronics demonstrated its technologies to enable more energy-efficient and connected Smart Cities at the 17th International Semiconductor Exhibition (i-SEDEX 2015).
 
The Smart City concept aims to use sensing, connectedness and data processing technologies to increase energy efficiency and productivity throughout a municipality.
 
At i-SEDEX, ST showed an example of a Smart City environment that uses many sensor nodes connected to a wireless mesh network. These nodes perform smart lighting monitoring and control, smart garbage monitoring, smart vibration detection and smart environment monitoring.
 
A wireless mesh sensor network installed at ST’s booth used proximity-sensor nodes to detect a radio-controlled model car in order to adjust road lighting based on the position of the vehicle; acceleration-sensor nodes to detect building-vibration; environmental-sensor nodes installed around the booth to measure temperature, humidity, and pressure; and wirelessly-connected lighting-control boards to monitor power consumption of booth lights in real time.
