Iveda, the global solution for cloud-based artificial intelligence (AI) video and sensor technologies, has launched a 1.5 million US dollars project to install Utilis Smart Pole technology in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. Utilus unites Iveda video surveillance, AI-based video analytics, smart power systems, and location-based trackers and smart sensors in one platform. Once existing light poles are equipped with Utilis, they can communicate with one another, explains a statement from the company.
According to the statement, Utilis’ smart poles will help Kaohsiung improve parking and traffic management, as well as charging electric vehicles. The technology will also detect and notify officials about street flooding through real-time data and alerts. “Integrating smart street poles with multiple functional benefits will open doors for safer and sustainable modern development and construction of our cities and communities,” commented David Ly, CEO and founder of Iveda, in the statement. “As the supplier of Utilis, Iveda is enabling Kaohsiung to be at the forefront of true smart city innovation.”
Utilus consists of a smart power management and wireless mesh communications network with WiFi, 4G, and 5G small cell capabilities. It also includes an energy storage battery system for continuous operation and backup. Iveda is headquartered in Mesa, Arizona, with a subsidiary in Taiwan.
