Sterlite Technologies announced the completion of its Smart City project in Kakinada, Andhra Pradesh, India.
STL's Smart City technologies for mobility, situational awareness, traffic control, smart lighting, public
safety and security are today enabling data-driven decision-making for the local administration. This
has improved the everyday living experiences of over 3.25 lakh citizens of Kakinada. More than 13,000
users use the city's Wi-Fi connectivity on a daily basis, while STL-enabled smart surveillance has helped
reduce police complaints by over 50%.
The city is powered by STL's Command and Communication Centre (CCC). With over 1,600 elements of
Smart City technologies integrated into it, this is one of India's most advanced CCCs, and features
many technology firsts such as horizontal Internet of Things (IoT) platform, Long Range (LoRa) based
city-wide Wireless Sensor Network and Disaster Management System.
With the completion of the Kakinada Smart City, STL has now delivered three Smart Cities –
Gandhinagar, Jaipur and Kakinada.
