In a Smart City, devices are connected to one another and to the cloud to enable new and advanced services that reduce the strain on infrastructure coming from an increasing urban population and improve quality of life and the use of resources.
Managing traffic to reduce traffic jams with connected and intelligent traffic lights, using adaptive street lighting to reduce energy consumption, and tracking waste containers to make their management more effective and efficient are just a few examples of what a city-wide network of sensor nodes connected wirelessly whose data could instantly be accessed from the cloud can enable.
ST offers a wide range of products including ultra-low-power STM32 microcontrollers, MEMS motion and environmental sensors, a full range of high-efficiency power and energy management ICs and both short- and long-range wireless connectivity solutions. Moreover, we provide a comprehensive set of hardware and software evaluation and development tools to help engineers conceive and design innovative products that help make our cities smarter.
