Teleste has built a smart and safe bus stop at the Nokia Campus in Espoo, Finland, as a part of the LuxTurrim5G ecosystem. Using video surveillance and high-capacity 5G connectivity, the bus stop was created to improve safety and security for public places through Teleste's newly launched 'Connected zone' concept that was introduced in October during Teleste's Security Seminar in Sweden. The concept will continue to be developed and tested as a part of Teleste's Smart City offering.
Using personal alarms, built-in camera monitoring and dynamic information products, 'Connected zone' makes it possible to employ bus stops and shelters to create special safe zones for the service's users who can connect to the zones via their smart phones. Through the high-speed 5G connectivity and digital, smart displays equipped with advanced security features, the concept allows security personnel to communicate with the bus stops in a unique way, making it possible to receive alarms, see what is happening in and around the shelters, and respond to possible security situations in real time.
Besides introducing the world's safest and most secure bus stops, 'Connected zone' offers new opportunities for sharing information as the smart displays have great potential to become spaces for innovative delivery of traffic and travel information as well as advertisements. The messages can even be made more relevant for receivers by collecting data from various sources and using intelligence to better understand the needs of the public transport users and target audiences.
