By Ajay Rane – With so much on their plate, public safety officials need as much help as they can when it comes to providing services to citizens. Internet of Things (IoT) technologies can aid public officials by giving important insights when they need them most. Especially when it involves the safety of residents, data needs to be reliable and easily accessed – which is where a 0G network comes in. IoT connectivity options like 0G provide a cost-efficient, low-power and user-friendly experience, with simple integration for public safety officials looking to stay up-to-date and secure.

Here are some ways IoT devices running on a 0G network can be used to aid officials, allowing for better public safety.

On average about 128 bridges collapse in the United States every year, causing chaos, disruption and – in the worst cases – fatalities in local areas. The best way to avoid these types of disasters is through preventative maintenance.

Using data generated by IoT devices (sensors) to drive artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) algorithms, officials can get predictive insights into city infrastructure and detect damage by measuring shifts and vibrations in structures that can indicate cracks, extensions or excessive strain. This allows officials to identify potentially life-threatening problems proactively and conduct preventative maintenance so small issues don’t develop into bigger problems. Read On:
