The objective of smart cities is to improve the quality of life of city-dwellers; enhance the efficiency and competitiveness of the economy and move towards the sustainability of cities by improving resource efficiency. Our client, as a key contributor to the Smart Cities initiative was looking for a solution to convert expensive real-estate being occupied by outdated pay-phones into productive applications with an aim to also provide quick access to public information, improve connectivity and generate additional revenues for the City. The client and eInfochips together conceptualized a comprehensive solution featuring a Kiosk and an touchscreen tablet that can act as a signage to diplay ads, and as a Wi-Fi hotspot, an interactive city guide and a phone to place audio and video calls all across the US.

eInfochips also helped the client transform the concept into an actual product by providing engineering services to develop custom hardware and software. eInfochips, being a licensee of Snapdragon Processor, was able to kick-start the product development leveraging its existing Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ based single board computer.
