The data is transmitted to a server that is able to perform a broad range of tasks: providing information on the city's web site, activating sprinklers and lighting and issuing pollution, fire and flood alerts via SMS, voice messages, e-mail, fax etc. According to Orange, "this experiment applied to the city of Cagnes-sur-Mer opens up new horizons for the development of a multitude of services for local communities and their citizens to increase security, comfort and respect for the environment. This system is easily transposable to other applications in the field of cultural or sports activities, health and the monitoring of natural or industrial risks in particular."{moscomment} |
