HESALINKTM WI-FI SERVICES FOR A SMARTER CITYSmart City Platform by HeSaLight®

HESALINKTM

THE SIMPLE SOLUTION FOR THE SMART CITY

The demands on city infrastructure are changing, but adapting to them can be seamless and cost-effective. HeSaLink™ takes its starting point in existing street lighting networks to provide not only better and more efficient illumination, but also wireless Internet access, and the potential to incorporate other technologies, for a truly Smart City.

In the age of the ‘Internet of Things’, more and more devices are digitally connected – with HeSaLink™, so too is your city.

CITY WI-FI – MAKE THE CONNECTION

A connected city is a smarter city. City Wi-Fi meets the demands of the present and embraces the possibilities of the future.

Wi-Fi is experiencing a huge boom as it expands its coverage from the home and office to public spaces. Consumers’ ever-increasing demand for bandwidth can be met by Wi-Fi hotspots, providing fast and reliable wireless Internet access.

Hundreds of cities around the world are responding by building City Wi-Fi networks, and the socioeconomic benefits are already being documented. City Wi-Fi provides services to citizens, tourists and businesses, but also forms the backbone of the Smart City, where technology enhances the performance of public services and improves the quality of life.

CITY WI-FI IN A NUTSHELL

Building a City Wi-Fi service requires three components: equipment to deliver Wi-Fi over the air; a connection between the Wi-Fi network and the Internet itself; and a way to facilitate and manage access to the network and create a user experience.

The first task is performed by Wi-Fi radio units, also called access points (APs), which deliver a high-speed stream of bits and bytes over the air to and from the user’s device, much like a Wi-Fi router does in people’s homes.

The second component, the backhaul, connects the radio units (APs) to the Internet, either wirelessly or for example by fiber optic cables. In practice, this part of the network will also include hubs, routers, firewalls, and other IP (Internet Protocol) networking nodes.

The service platform performs the final critical function. A Wi-Fi network is useless unless it creates a great user experience and connects devices to the services that people want – such as simple Internet browsing, accessing email or using social media. The service platform is in essence a server (a computer). This platform makes it possible for the City Wi-Fi provider to manage users (grant access), present useful information on device screens, collect user data, and much more.

When these three components are brought together and operated professionally, this is what creates a Managed City Wi-Fi service. Managed City Wi-Fi networks of this type can be applied to serve the needs of multiple companies and cities themselves.

HESALINK™ – OPTIMIZING INFRASTRUCTURE

HESALINK™ combines a highly efficient and well-proven LED street lighting product line with Wi-Fi network equipment to offer a managed Wi-Fi infrastructure solution – just by changing the streetlights.

Integrating City Wi-Fi capability in upgrading existing street lighting results in a cost-effective and rapid deployment that retains the look of your city, eliminating the need for extra hardware in the streets.

The Wi-Fi system in HESALINK™ is supplied by leading network equipment vendors and has been specifically selected based on key requirements that are critical for a robust, scalable, and future-proof City Wi-Fi network.

Internet access is just the beginning. HESALINK™ managed Wi-Fi networks provide a platform for cities to present useful information on device screens, deliver web-based services and launch Smart City applications.

The Smart City concept has grown from the need to make cities more sustainable, without compromising on performance. Information and communication technologies are making cities more competitive by reducing costs and resource consumption, and enhancing the quality and performance of urban services. They can also help to improve contact between citizens and government.

Smart City initiatives are already being successfully implemented around the world, and the development of applications is constantly providing new paths to a sustainable and prosperous future.

DATA ANALYTICS

The HeSaLink™ City Wi-Fi network can collect location data from users’ Wi-Fi devices. This provides powerful Big Data metrics, which can be used to improve public services, such as by monitoring and analyzing traffic flows for better understanding patterns and developing safer roads.
