Sterlite Technologies today said it designed, built and will manage Gandhinagar Smart Services, the first integrated smart city services project.

Vijay Rupani, chief minister of Gujarat, announced the citizen centric smart services at the launch of the Gandhinagar Smart City.

The state government developed the Smart City services project under the Swarnim Jayanti Mukhya Mantri Saheri Vikas Yojna.

The Smart Services project will enable citizens to engage with the progress of the forthcoming smart city. It offers advanced services like City Wide Wi-Fi (open to sky), IP Surveillance, Smart Street Lighting, Environment Sensors, Digital Display, Speed & Face Detection System, Automatic Number Plate Recognition System, Public Address system, Smart Call Centre and a Centralized Command Centre to monitor and control all activities.

With this, Gandhinagar becomes the first Smart City Model.

“The Smart Services Project will set a benchmark in digital infrastructure and smart living for citizens. Deployment of smart services through the urban infrastructure will address essential administrative needs of the citizens and empower them with easy access to critical information,” said Pravin Agarwal, vice chairman of Sterlite Technologies.

The deployment of smart services at Gandhinagar will offer easy access to information through Wi-Fi Services & Smart Mobile App. It also ensures public security with IP Surveillance, reduces electricity cost with Smart Street Lighting, offers weather and pollution information through Environment Sensors, public announcement and advertisement through Digital Signages.

The smart city system has 24/7 call centre to address complaints and queries. All the Smart Services can be controlled and monitored through the Central Command Centre.
