Cloud City Operations Centre
Cloud City Operations Centre
(CCOC) acts as the “brain” of the
city, monitoring and controlling
the information coming from the
different data sources (vertical
services, legacy systems, etc.). It
deals with historical data, neartime data and also real-time
data.
CCOC cross analyzes the data
from city services and adds value
by running prediction and
simulation tools amongst other
features

IoT Gateway for Public Space (Pre-production model)
Kite Gateway
The Kite Gateway
collects and
consolidates all
data received
from all sensors
within proximity.
Sensors transmit
data through
direct connection
to the Kite device
or through
connections with
other sensors,
leveraging mesh
networking.
Waste Sensors
Installed in waste receptacles, waste sensors measure
rubbish levels and inform a waste management
company when to empty bins, saving thousands in
diesel costs and reducing environmental impact.

Cloud / Big Data
Kite backhauls sensor data to a city’s chosen
cloud and analytics platform, such as NEC’s
Cloud City Operations Centre. Data is also
shared with appropriate content management
systems, as well as citizens and local
businesses through an API.
Streetlight Sensors
Sensors detect light
levels and pedestrian
proximity to
automatically adjust
brightness, saving a city
power and
environmental costs.
Kite Mote
A Kite Mote is an easyto-install sensor which
leverages battery or
solar power, removing
the need for any civil
engineering. This
example is measuring
air quality at a street
level and relaying data
back to the Kite
Gateway through mesh
networking.
Parking Sensors
Recessed into parks, parking sensors
share data for city traffic management,
city asset management and inform
citizens of vacant parks in a city.
Summary
▌ IoT has a tremendous possibility to transform virtually all industries as
well as our way of life
▌ NEC will contribute through
 Unique or top performing technologies, and
 End-to-end integration capability
▌ The biggest challenge is how to incentivise various players in the
ecosystem
 An investment in one process may realise a significant improvement in other
process which are separated geographically or temporary (The objective of
each player may contradict each other)
 A holistic view and orchestration are a must
