Hamilton, Ont., July 22, 2020 – Innovation Factory’s Centre for Integrated Transportation and Mobility (CITM), a program providing services and resources to accelerate the development of connected, multi-modal mobility solutions, is pleased to announce the expansion of its Smart Mobility Network and the addition of two strategic partners, HCE Telecom and iSmartways Technologies.
The addition of HCE Telecom, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the City of Hamilton, and iSmartways Technologies ensures robust, high-speed internet and private network connectivity for the entire CITM Smart Mobility Network, with the addition of cellular vehicle to vehicle (CV2-X) technology. This final phase of development rounds out the technology suite already in place from Nokia (wireless communications) and Ubicquia, makers of the City IQ, a streetlight mounted smart city system.
