The uCIFI Alliance announced the public release of the first unified data model to provide interoperability and interchangeability between connected devices to unlock smart cities. The open-source model targets key smart-city applications such as streetlighting, water metering and distribution monitoring, waste management, parking, traffic monitoring, air-quality monitoring, smart buildings, as well as safety and security. The model can be implemented freely by any vendor in any product to meet cities’ tender requirements for openness and interoperability.
