    At its heart, having a smart city means planning preventive maintenance and optimizing resources to maximize well-being. Think innovation, participation, collaboration and coordination between all stakeholders – especially residents.

    Sudden severe weather affects us all, from wildfires to flash floods and concentrated air pollution. Cities today are looking to protect local communities from the rising number of extreme weather and environmental events resulting from climate change. But resiliency requires a proactive approach, starting with local observations.

    We provide accurate, reliable measurement solutions and actionable insights that help you make better decisions to improve your city. It is easy to integrate Vaisala weather and air quality sensors into a wide range of smart city systems to provide real-time data on the parameters you need most.

    When integrated into a smart city system, light poles can do much more than illuminate city streets. They can measure everything from weather and air quality to water quality, environmental noise, and traffic for observations. Plugging weather and air quality data into these kinds of networks opens many opportunities to increase weather awareness and resilience in cities.

    Sudden severe weather affects us all, from wildfires to flash floods and concentrated air pollution. Cities today are looking to protect local communities from the rising number of extreme weather and environmental events resulting from climate change. But resiliency requires a proactive approach, starting with local observations.

    Compact weather and air quality sensors, plug-and-play weather stations and thunderstorm tracking software provide accurate hyperlocal observation data in real time. The data can be used to alert citizens and officials of dangerous conditions, and to localize and enhance the accuracy of weather forecasts

    Air quality data in particular provides reliable & helpful air pollution insights that empower businesses, government, and citizens to adapt and make informed choices. City planners can harness the insights to find ideal locations for public services such as schools, daycare centers, recreation areas. Decision-makers can develop solutions for people who are sensitive to air pollution so they can take action in daily life.
