The performance and distributed intelligence capabilities of the IoT Edge Router enable innovative applications that require Extensibility Through Partner Solutions localized processing and control of smart city devices. Analyzing The IoT Edge Router is designed with a standards-based data and executing application commands at the network edge architecture to support a variety of applications and devices from signifi cantly reduces the bandwidth needed to communicate Itron and our solution partners. Itron partners have access to an with a central application server, while also lowering the cost of SDK and development environment using Canonical’s Ubuntu backhaul communications. Core, to enable sensors and edge applications on the Linux platform. This open approach gives developers the tools to develop innovative solutions that leverage the connectivity and performance of the IoT Edge Router. With the IoT Edge Router as the foundation, your network can evolve with the needs of your changing city. DEPLOYMENT SCENARIOS The IoT Edge Router not only supports a variety of use cases, it enables cities, utilities and other critical IIoT operators to leverage a common network platform for multiple applications and project owners within their service territories. The IoT Edge Router eliminates the need for single-purpose networks for each application, department or entity. For example, a city can host lighting services for schools, hospitals, business and industrial parks, shopping centers, entertainment venues, homeowner associations, and microgrids. The mesh architecture also grows more resilient with the addition of new endpoints, so leveraging the IoT Edge Router for multi-application networks reduces the cost and improves the performance of the network for all users. Multi-application implementations can be invaluable to city planners, public works departments, traffi c engineers and police departments. Compound applications that combine multiple device types, such as such as coordinated traffi c and metered on-ramp signaling, can leverage the IoT Edge Router’s distributed intelligence capabilities to analyze local data and execute decisions at the edge. Data from multiple sources providing information Image Sensing about road conditions, traffi c volumes, and accidents and other emergency situations can be applied to dynamically optimize Use the IoT Edge Router to connect video sensors that can be traffi c-related applications. For example, levels of service (LOS) used for parking, security, surveillance, queue management distributed processing capabilities for traffi c calculations (for and accident investigation applications. No full-time streaming is vehicles primarily, but also including pedestrian and bicycle required (although on-demand video downloading is possible), and transit through “enhanced LOS”) are generally done using on site edge processing and event notifi cation can be handled using on personnel and location-specifi c counter hardware. With intelligent board recording and processing. These implementations can be sensors, the data can instead be collected based on in pavement invaluable to city police departments, for example, but can also be loop and pedestrian crossing button actuation rates, and computer used for a variety of commercial applications. based analysis of camera fed images. Traffi c cameras can also Environmental Sensing connect through the IoT Edge Router for monitoring and improving Use the IoT Edge Router for connecting environmental sensors traffi c congestion, reducing CO2 emissions as an added benefi t. such as those for measuring temperature, humidity, barometric Streetlighting, Traffi c Signals and Traffi c Monitoring pressure, particulate counting, and seismic and fl ooding activity. Use the IoT Edge Router to connect smart street lighting controllers Connected seismometers, for example, can be used with that turn lights on and off, and set dimming levels. By pairing earthquake prediction and related alert and early warning systems. streetlight controls with IP cameras, acoustic sensors, and Information provided through these implementations can be environmental sensors, lighting operators can automatically adjust invaluable to city planners, health offi cials, and emergency lighting levels during high traffi c events, leveraging information from services providers. the connected devices, all handled dynamically at the network edge. Utility Distribution Automation Applications Digital Signage For utilities, the IoT Edge Router can be used for video sensing Use the IoT Edge Router for connecting electronic displays—such for security purposes in substations (where no full frame as those for AMBER alert signs, bus stops, information kiosks, streaming is required), front-end processing for distribution parking garages, and bike-rental and EV charging stations—and automation applications, and to extend protocol support for any for display programming and control. These services need not be distribution automation deployments where Itron Gen5 Bridges are limited to cities, as commercial interests can be served as well. currently deployed.
