Use Cases Smart Campus

Smart Campus

Smart campuses are digitally connected places where devices and applications faciliate new services and improve operational efficiency. They merge the technologies present in smart cities and smart homes, with applications suited for a group of people located close to each other and sharing common objectives and requirements. The coverage area is usually limited to an area such as a school, residential compound or office districts. Applications include wayfinding, smart parking, checking facility availability, locating and Tracking belongings, remote collaboration, and automated infrastructure management. The term smart campus refers to suite of integrated infrastructure, platforms and applications.
