Usability
A Virtual Perimeter guards an area without the use of physical
barriers. Virtual Perimeters can be either CCTV-based or
Microwave-based, or a combination of both. The system is fully
automatic and an alarm is raised if someone enters the area.

Accurate 3D maps can be generated in
three easy step (fly-generate-view) to create
superior situational awareness rapidly. For
instance, maps covering 100km2 with an
accuracy of 0.3m can be created within 6
hours (1hr flight time, 5hrs processing time)
Conclusion
Implementation of Smart City concept will only succeed if all
stakeholders are supportive in achieving a common set of goals
The solution should be managed through a strategic framework
that addresses all the elements of a Smart City
An integrated approach should be followed to realise optimal
benefits through improved efficiencies
Strategic partnering with technology solution providers and
systems integrators will:
•
•
•
•
Reduce implementation costs
Reduce the time to implement the solution
Improve the quality of the integrated solution
Improve the support and maintenance of the system
