Today, TELUS accelerated its commitment to Smart City solutions that empower municipalities to leverage technology and data in new ways to benefit residents’ health and safety, meet sustainability goals, and increase operational efficiencies. Currently, TELUS has deployed technologies such as Internet of Things (IoT) to enable Smart City solutions in more than 65 municipalities across Canada. These solutions help city officials track infrastructure usage, save energy with intelligent lighting systems, improve traffic flow, decrease emergency response times, and much more. For residents, the result is a faster commute, getting the help they need faster in an emergency, safer neighbourhoods and public spaces, and even cleaner air to breathe.
Nokia and Greener Acres Canada are collaborating on an intelligent infrastructure programme across Canada which will include the creation of smart city green poles from nearly 50,000 tons of recycled e-waste collected annually in Ontario.
An estimated four million poles will power smart cities and broadband communications across the country.
