Description[ ]
Sydney is set to become a smart city with a range of new developments planned. The exact details of the biometrics in use or planned are not available but it has been stated that they will partner with NEC who will provide some form of biometrics and other technologies.
NEC is already partnered with the NSW Government in multiple projects for Digital Transformation, including a strategic partnership with the University of Wollongong, underpinning new employment opportunities in the ICT sector. Leveraging this collaboration and NEC’s Safer and Smarter Cities capabilities in a newly signed MoU with the NSW Government, NEC Corporation and NEC Australia will bring expertise in innovative solutions that creates sustainable living for both communities and enterprises. Moving NSW towards becoming one of the most liveable, people-friendly, convenient and open safer cities environments, the NSW Government and NEC aim will focus predominantly on five major sectors; digital government, public safety, aviation, health and smart transportation, while utilising NEC’s world-leading biometrics, 5G, Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies 2
NEC Australia CEO Mitsuhiro Murooka said that, working together, the two companies are well placed to help turn the Western Parkland vision into reality. “NEC and SUEZ will bring unmatched, international expertise to the development of smart cities in Australia. Our partnership has the potential to deliver life changing innovations for the government's consideration, particularly for Sydney’s new city,” he said. “With a key focus on environmental sustainability and contribution to managing the circular economy through utilisation of NEC’s leading big data digital smart city management platform, we have no doubt we will be able to deliver some incredible opportunities to drive a smarter future.” 1
