United States : Cisco to Support Pilot Project Initiating Deployment of Smart and Safe Kazan City Solution [TendersInfo (India)]


(TendersInfo (India) Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Cisco today announced the deployment of a pilot project providing Kazan, the capital of Tatarstan, Russia's most innovative and ICT developed region, with residential Wi-Fi services and a Situational Surveillance System. The project was implemented in Central Park and in Old Tatar Settlement locations by Cisco, ICL-KME CS, a Cisco Premier Certified Partner in Russia; Step Logic, a Cisco Gold Certified Partner in Russia; and Tattelecom, Tatarstan's leading service provider, with the Kazan mayor's office support.



The Smart and Safe City pilot area was observed by President of the Republic of Tatarstan Rustam Minnikhanov and Kazan Mayor Ilsur Metshin on the City and the Republic of Tatarstan Day.

Establishment of pilot sites in the Central Park and Old Tatar Settlement was another step of the strategic partnership between Cisco and the Republic of Tatarstan, which is aimed at the development of Internet of Everything. As expected, the development of the Smart and Safe Kazan City solution will be completed by the end of 2014, and the result will be reviewed by the Republic of Tatarstan authorities. Implementation of Smart City solutions will enable various services for residents, businesses, and government agencies, such as intelligent transport systems, environmental monitoring, smart utilities, smart street lighting, smart parking, etc. on the basis of Cisco's network platform, unique domestic developments of ICL-KME CS and Step Logic, and Tattelecom communications networks. There are also plans to deploy an integrated video monitoring infrastructure for ensuring public safety in Kazan.


Implementation of the Smart and Safe Kazan City solutions will reduce the burden on the budget through the cost optimization and will create additional revenue sources for the city treasury. So, this technology is economically self-sufficient and is of considerable interest to the private investment and public-private partnerships. Such approach would fundamentally change the traditional funding of CapEx by the government; it is based on a service model, which gives the city an opportunity to use the infrastructure as a service under contracts with monthly payments.

A Cisco® cutting-edge video surveillance system was deployed by ICL-KME CS, the Tatarstan system integrator with extensive expertise in Cisco equipment. ICL-KME CS's engineers installed 54 Cisco IP cameras within the Park central area along with the most advanced video analytics system capable to transmit high-resolution quality video stream and store video archives for up to 3 days.

HeadPoint Management system, designed by Step Logic, helps control emerging incidents (near memorial locations and in hazardous locations), and to recognize visitors' faces using a recurrent database. Some cameras are remotely controlled, allowing changing the vision angle and direction.
