7 CIVIL AND MUNICIPAL VOLUME 3, ISSUE 7 UBICQUIA LAUNCHES UBIHUB Easiest way for cities to deploy public Wi-Fi and cameras for traffic analytics, public safety, and license plate recognition. Compatible with 360 million streetlights worldwide, industry’s first integrated Wi-Fi 6 and edge AI platform plugs into a photocell socket in 30 seconds and delivers data in minutes. Ubicquia, Inc. a company dedicated to making intelligent infrastructure platforms that are simple to deploy and monitor, recently announced the launch of two UbiHub® platforms. The UbiHub AP6 is a triband Wi-Fi 6 Access Point that gives communities the ability to enable public Wi-Fi. The platform integrates PoE that makes it easy to support third-party equipment including cameras and license plate readers. The UbiHub AP/AI has the same features and functionality of the AP6, and also integrates dual 4K cameras, directional microphones, a neural AI processor for street analytics and 15 days of video storage. UbiHub is compatible with more than 360 million streetlights worldwide and can be installed in seconds, plugging into the existing streetlight photocell socket. By integrating multiple functions into one easy-to-install platform, the UbiHub is a smart city workhorse that reduces the total cost of ownership by 42 percent when compared to conventional multi- vendor solutions, according to Northeast Group. “Our UbiHub is the ‘Swiss Army Knife’ of intelligent infrastructure for cities and utilities,” said Ian Aaron, CEO, Ubicquia. “Whether you need to scale the deployment of cameras and license plate readers across multiple vendors or simply expand broadband in commercial areas and parks, UbiHub is the only multi-function product in the market that installs in seconds and delivers data in minutes.” UbiHub platforms enable cities and law enforcement to cost-effectively scale and transform their existing streetlight infrastructure into a network of connected digital assets. The platforms support use cases including: • Enable faster, evidence-based crime detection, investigation, and deterrence; • Reduce traffic congestion, improve pedestrian safety and increase bicycle lane utilization; • Expand city broadband deployments in commercial areas and parks.
