The new project undertaken by the DOTSOFT AE is aimed at strengthening connectivity and managing public infrastructures.
Protagonist in the development of technological solutions for the digital transformation of urban centers, DOTSOSFT SA will develop and install new systems of intelligent city and sustainable urban mobility.
The planned interventions are divided into two parts:
1. Wireless Internet Access System (FreeWiFi) and City Optical Ring Extension[Metropolitan Area Network (ΜΑΝ)].
In central parts of the city, such as squares, public buildings and gathering areas, wireless access points (WiFi hotspots) will be installed. At the same time, the visual infrastructure of the Municipality of Florina will be strengthened, through the expansion and upgrading of the network fiber optic infrastructure, so that the transfer of data between various services is faster and safer.
The expected benefits:
- Residents and visitors of Florina will be able to connect to the Internet for free through specified points, which will enhance the use of digital services and enrich the experiences of users.
The extension of the visual network will allow faster communication between municipal buildings and infrastructure, facilitating the efficient management of services such as e-government and administrative supervision.
2. Public Infrastructure and Network Remote Control System (SmartisCity Smart City Platform)
It is an integrated information system that manages in a uniform way individual functions of the city (parking, electric lighting, water supply, cleanliness, traffic, etc.). Based on the logic of the Internet of Things, the system in question collects data produced from various sources, such as sensors and wireless devices, and then converts them into a form suitable for further use by citizens, professionals and executives.
The expected benefits:
- Real-time supervision will allow the saving of energy resources, as the Municipality will be able to adapt the use of the infrastructure according to the needs (e.g. reduction of electricity consumption in low-motion hours).
- In case of damage or malfunctions, through the system the competent services will be able to be automatically informed, as a result of which the response time will be reduced and delays can be avoided.
- With the unified management of smart applications, the overall operation of the city will become more orderly and flexible.
The new project constitutes an essential step towards the digital transition and the sustainable development of the Municipality of Florina. Through the upgrading of digital and telecommunications infrastructure, residents and visitors to the uncritical city will enjoy quality connectivity services, while the municipal authority will be able to manage public infrastructure more efficiently.
The planned interventions are financed by the European Union (European Regional Development Fund) and by national resources through the Public Investment Program. They are expected to be completed by July 2025, giving Florina a special place on the map of the intelligent cities.
