Cisco to provide networking infra for four smart city projects.

Networking company Cisco, which has been in discussions with State Governments across the country to transform 20 cities into smart and connected cities, has closed four project proposals in Navi Mumbai, Pune, Jaipur and Lucknow.

While Cisco will provide the networking infrastructure for the projects, it will work with partners who will provide different solutions such as smart street lighting, traffic management, CCTV security surveillance and water management.

'The four projects are up and running and we typically start by deploying one solution such as, an IP-based city surveillance system in Navi Mumbai, which alerts the Police Department about suspicious movements and objects and allows better security management through 24/7 intelligent monitoring,' Amit Phadnis, President Engineering and India Site Leader, Cisco told Business Line.
