Smart Cities Start with IoT

Cities are constantly striving to be more sustainable, secure, safer, and healthier for their residents. A smart city aims to achieve these goals using digital, connected technology while addressing challenges such as rapid urbanization, pollution, climate change, and resource constraints. To do so, city officials are examining all the functions they provide—from transportation, energy, healthcare, and street lighting to better educational and cultural spaces—and asking how IoT on Arm technology can help transform the urban environment.

Smart Vision

IoT devices enhanced with innovative computer vision technologies are transforming the world around us and delivering new experiences in diverse environments, from retail to smart home.

Smart Homes and Buildings

People spend 90 percent of their time indoors. At Arm, we believe that the buildings we inhabit can be made more sustainable, responsive, healthy, and secure for occupants—as well as more profitable for owners—by making them more intelligent. That intelligence is enabled by IoT.

 

Always-on IoT devices are becoming reality for buildings that adapt seamlessly around inhabitants. These new, enhanced and connected everyday objects, such as smoke detectors, TVs, refrigerators, smart lighting, and heating systems, are now using sensor technology to constantly gather data about the physical world around us. These devices can then use embedded compute, machine learning and signal processing capabilities to translate that data into usable information.
