Who trusts IR technical implementation
of the smart city projects

Our team is devoted to helping cities and businesses reduce costs, increase efficiencies, and advance their sustainability efforts.

Let’s discuss what your city or business wants to achieve, and work together to get the job done.

A smart city leverages IoT sensors and advanced software, and includes analytics to improve performance with regard to city services and other aspects of city life, thus increasing efficiency and improving the quality of life for its citizens.

What do you get creating your Smart City
project with us?

For starters, you get a series of solutions to serious and urgent situations the world faces today:

IoT

We have vast experience in IoT. IoT technology makes cities smarter and better. A highly experienced team works in their own R&D center for hardware prototyping.

Hardware

We have our own hardware company for the development and production of hardware. We provide a full cycle of services up to receiving a serial batch of hardware. Our clients do not need to look for a separate production facility.

Solutions Development

We develop solutions from small startups to scalable systems for metapolicies. We deeply understand and work out the issues of integrating each solution into the city’s ecosystem.

Digitalization

Itera Research clients can use our unique expertise in the development and implementation of digital solutions for cities. Digitalization is a challenge for the state workers and civil servants, as this is a special category of people with a lower level of digital literacy. We have already developed dozens of solutions and know many pitfalls in developing software for this category of users.

Communications

We know how to develop communication applications for city dwellers. There are many features in terms of business applications. Mobile applications for government services, for example, are in most cases not in demand and we know why and what needs to be done to make them in demand.

Innovation

Our many years of experience with smart solutions allows us to breathe life into obsolete clients’ projects, in which hope may have already been lost. We have migrated applications written in legacy technologies for traffic management in the USA. Our Senior developers “speak” languages and technologies that you won’t find these days. We will understand any code and update your applications smoothly and flexibly.

We have delivered over 5,000 devices to help automate cities. We clearly understand possible roadblocks, and we are able to foresee and implement high-quality solutions. As an example we are able to provide solutions for mobile operators and GSM, using LoRa and the LoRaWAN protocol.

Comprehensive Solutions

We can cover a wide range of Smart City Solutions needs along with the services and expertise to bring it all together. Every smart city project involves multiple vendors, dozens of process steps, and hundreds of tasks. We offer professional services to help orchestrate and simplify the process through:

• Infographics
• Our own R&D center
• Large-scale production
• Thousands of devices set up
• A team of 25 talented innovators
• 8 years in IoT

Our Principles in Smart City Solutions

Smart City Essentials

Smart City Essentials

A mandatory attribute of any smart city solution will be hardware. Sensors are at the core of every device in the Smart City. The aim is to deploy monitoring infrastructure and produce a distributed network of intelligent sensor nodes which can measure many parameters for a more efficient management of the city. We are focused on quality and reliable solutions which meet or exceed our clients’ requirements. Therefore, the R&D center was established 5 years ago and our own sensor production company was acquired.

Connectivity and data transmission

Without actionable, real-time, and reliable access to data, the smart city can’t thrive. How information is collected, distilled, and shared is critical, and security solutions must avoid adverse effects on availability.

Measures must be taken to ensure that data is accurate and free from manipulation. For your project’s security we use strong authentication and ID management solutions that need to be integrated into the ecosystem to ensure that data is shared only with authorized parties to achieve these security core objectives. The data processing and analyses of Smart Cities are by definition, data-driven. The massive amounts of data collected must be analyzed quickly in order to make it useful. The combination of big data analysis and smart city solutions help cities improve the management in critical segments such as energy and transportation.

Software

All Smart City projects need fully-integrated big data and IoT analytics software solutions. They help to connect cities, businesses, citizens and deliver more intelligent lighting, energy, water, waste operation, and transportation enabling them to achieve greater levels of sustainability, security and prosperity.

We can create future city software tailored to your needs.

Specialties to the development of a
Smart City projects

Solutions entrusted to us to implement

Smart City Infrastructure

Itera Research developed a complex system of specialized hardware and software for the public utilities of Kharkiv, Ukraine that automates and optimizes the workflow to ultimately improve the quality of services provided. The complex system consists of automated dispatching, report , lift and lightning remote control systems, and finance.

Smart Garbage (Waste Optimization)

In terms of Kharkiv city infrastructure automation, Itera Research implemented an automated system for managing collection and disposal of municipal solid waste, which consists of the following components: a web app for managing the location of dumpsters, a mobile app for truck drivers, chatbot for citizens, an integration of sensors for monitoring dumpster contents and weight, and a system for truck routing and time management.

Smart Street Lights

Itera Research developed a software architecture for a solution that helps to manage: replacement of lamps in city lanterns with controlled LED lights, installation of control units in transformers, and connection of specialized software.

Smart Buildings

For apartment complexes, Itera Research implemented a solution that connects all engineering systems and allows conveniently, autonomously, and securely managed apartment complex utilities such as doorbell and access control, surveillance cameras, motion and lighting sensors, internal and external telemetry, parking,and all-around elevator equipment management.

Smart Publicv Transport

Itera Research developed a solution for automating the public transport payments in one of the EU capitals. We enabled a modern fare payment system for public transport payments without the need for additional hardware.

Smart Energy, Water, and Gas

Itera Research has prototyped and launched the production of devices for remote reading of legacy indicators for water, gas, and electricity meters. Specialized software for collecting, storing, and analyzing data, as well as for unloading it to external systems was also designed.

Smart Traffic Management

For the US state of New York, as a part of a big team, Itera Research has worked on a state project linked with enhancing the system of managing electronic traffic control devices. This project required extensive analysis of the firmware integrativons, incoming data and real time data processing.

Public Safety

As part of the development of the project that increases the overall level of safety in cities, together with partners from Germany, we can implement a system that will ensure face recognition from a continuous stream of video images from street cameras.
