A smart city is a municipality that uses digital technology to collect data and operate and manage their assets in a manner to improve the efficiency and the quality of their services. The data can be collected from citizens, devices, buildings, cameras or other. Smart City applications can affect all functions and departments of municipal operations, traffic and transportation, power plants, utilities, water supply networks, waste disposal, public safety, information systems, schools, libraries, hospitals, and other community services.
IoT networks collect and transmit data from sensors throughout the urban/rural environment.
Advanced analytics and artificial intelligence enable more informed and responsive governance.
Energy-efficient buildings, renewable energy, and intelligent transportation systems.
Conservation, reduce ecological footprints, and enhance living standards to create more environmentally responsible urban/rural spaces.
Facilitate communication between residents and government, promoting participation in urban planning and decision-making processes.
Integrate public transit, bike-sharing, and autonomous vehicles, aim to reduce congestion and improve accessibility, as well as analyzing mobility behavioral patterns of citizens to improve services and optimize the city infrastructure.
Improve the delivery of essential city/county/state services.
By leveraging an open access model, eCommunity empowers city leaders to modernize civic operations, reduce costs, and deliver more responsive services to residents. Our carrier-neutral smart city infrastructure is designed to enable municipalities to do more with less, remain technology flexible and stay ahead of the technology curve.
That means:
Delivering civic services more efficiently and affordably, freeing up resources for reinvestment into community needs
Building public trust by enabling greater transparency, accountability, and real-time responsiveness
Accelerating the adoption of emerging technologies across departments—from public safety and utilities to transportation and infrastructure
Enhancing digital security and resilience, ensuring critical systems and resident data remain protected in an increasingly connected world
eCommunity Fiber recently partnered with the City of Morrow to deploy a Smart City solution impacting their public safety, traffic improvement, and technology improvement initiatives. We have activated a multi-layer network—connecting city assets and public spaces with fiber, WiFi, LTE, and IoT sensors enabling the city to operate more efficiently, respond faster to community needs, and build a foundation for economic development.
Smart cities are built on the seamless integration of people, technology, and processes across sectors such as transportation, healthcare, education, and infrastructure. What sets a smart city apart is how its local government uses real-time data to monitor, analyze, plan, and manage civic services in a more responsive and cost-effective way.
In this digital ecosystem, data isn’t just collected—it’s shared with businesses, citizens, and organizations that can act on it to drive innovation and improve quality of life. Today, key areas of smart city investment include visual surveillance for safety, intelligent public transit systems, and adaptive outdoor lighting—all of which were brought to life in our Morrow demo.
