Niagara – A smart City’s framework

Although cities see the values and benefits of converging their systems to smart city models, certain challenges that might come up during the transformation prevent them from doing so. However, Tridium has found a way to meet the needs of municipalities to integrate new technologies into existing infrastructure developing new applications of the Niagara Framework®.

Tridium explains on its website that Niagara enables every system to communicate and interoperate in the following areas:

  • Energy (smart grid, alternative energy, demand management)
  • Water utility (wastewater treatment, system monitoring)
  • Transportation (fleet, fuel, traffic management, street lighting)
  • Buildings management (municipal, commercial, industrial)
  • Government services (public safety, CCTV, digital signage)
