Real-time data, predictive analytics and AI will support Brownsville’s public services, safety, sustainability, and growth.
The city of Brownsville, Texas, has announced a transformative partnership with NTT DATA, a global leader in digital business and IT services, to implement advanced smart solutions on a private 5G (P5G) network. The initiative aims to improve public services, enhance safety, boost sustainability, and support the city’s ongoing growth through real time data analytics and AI power technology, all seamlessly integrated within a secure wireless infrastructure .
“The future is coming to life in Brownsville today as we partner with NTT DATA to set a new standard for smart, connected and sustainable cities,” said John Cowen, Jr., Brownsville City Mayor. “Ultimately, we’re seeking to reinvent human-to-digital interactions in ways that deliver amazing citizen services and an outstanding quality of life.”
Brownsville has experienced significant growth in recent years, bolstered by its proximity to high profile facilities like SpaceX Starbase, the Texas LNG export facility, and the deep-water port of Brownsville as well as Brownsville South Padre Island International Airport.
The first phase of the work will focus on the city’s downtown core, covering four public parks, the Department of Public Works yard, and the airport.
In this phase, NTT DATA will introduce smart infrastructure by utilising both new and existing data collection devices to establish an Internet of Things (IoT) network throughout the city as part of creating connected city.
NTT DATA will roll out a P5G network in stages, ensuring comprehensive coverage to support IT assets and high bandwidth applications across Brownsville. This P5G network forms a backbone for deploying smart solutions across various sectors.
Public safety and security are also key components of the project smart solutions will provide city officials with real time data analysis allowing them to monitor and manage public areas, including parks and streets, more effectively predictive AI and data-driven insights will help identify and address safety issues proactively, further enhancing the quality of life for residents.
