Teleste is a global provider of broadband network, video surveillance and passenger information solutions and technologies. Teleste’s solutions bring Gigabit level broadband connectivity and TV services to homes and offices, provide security for people in public places and guide the use of public transport.
“The LuxTurrim5G ecosystem has provided us with an excellent opportunity to collaborate in developing new digital infrastructure and services that will help people feel safe and comfortable in their living environments. Working with the research consortium has been an exciting journey, and we are looking forward to the next steps along the smart city evolution path,” says Dr. Jani Väre, Head of Innovation & IPR at Teleste.
Teleste has brought to the LuxTurrim5G project its long-term experience in software solutions designed for intelligent integration and management of information and video, reinforced with the company’s experience in on-board connectivity systems and 5G standardisation work. One of the company’s main targets in the project has been to develop public safety solutions across diverse smart city environments and improve the effectiveness and responsiveness of operational infrastructure.
In addition, Teleste has implemented Connected Zone concept as part of the LuxTurrim5G ecosystem Smart Pole pilot network in Espoo, Finland. The Connected Zone concept has been integrated with Nokia’s Integrated Operations Center. The LuxTurrim5G Connected Zone solution utilises three safe zones, two of these are located at bus stops and one in a smart pole.
The Connected Zone concept makes it possible to turn bus stops, smart poles and any other urban furniture into safe zones for users of the service, who can connect via their smartphones, raise alarms with safety operators and therefore minimise response times. Besides adding to public safety, the smart displays in smart poles and at bus stops offer new opportunities for sharing information and have great potential in the delivery of up-to-date traffic and travel information as well as advertisements that target the needs of public transport users and other audiences.
“Together with intelligent technologies, the gradually expanding 5G coverage is a fertile seedbed for new digital infrastructures and innovations. The development is taking place simultaneously with the transformation of fixed broadband networks towards Gigabit speeds, increased reliability and less latency. As a result, new digital applications, ranging from public security and transport to health care, remote work, climate and more, will emerge to change the way we live our lives,” says Jani Väre.
