Smart Systems and Cities
Creating the next generation of information technology.
Imagine a wireless wonderland where smart homes communicate digitally with a smart grid that distributes the right amount of power exactly when and where it’s needed. Or gridlock-free city streets where traffic lights are controlled by real-time data.
We’re leveraging the power of the Internet of Things and advanced sensor technology to make homes, manufacturing plants, energy and transportation infrastructure, and even entire cities more efficient, more responsive and more resilient.
