Mouser Electronics, a distributor of New Product Introductions (NPI), equips engineers with the tools to develop cutting-edge electronic solutions for the future. Through its robust infrastructure and smart cities resource centre, Mouser supports the advancement of modern urban environments.
Infrastructure forms the backbone of cities, covering areas such as transport networks, energy grids, and communication systems. As digitisation progresses, smart city technologies enhance these systems, improving daily life by using innovations like smart meters to gather essential data on energy and water consumption.
By integrating smart technologies, cities can optimise traffic management, reduce energy consumption, and enhance public safety. Modern office buildings already benefit from smart technology, creating energy-efficient and healthier workspaces. In the same way, cities can use these advanced systems to ensure infrastructure is better maintained, contributing to more sustainable and prosperous communities.
Smart building and energy management systems merge technology, design, and sustainability to adapt to evolving work and living conditions. For example, air quality monitoring technology can detect pollutants, helping to safeguard public health and well-being.
Mouser’s infrastructure and smart cities hub offers a wide range of resources, including articles, blogs, eBooks, and products developed by Mouser’s technical team and trusted manufacturing partners. In a recent collaboration with Qorvo, the eBook ‘Next-Gen Connectivity for Smart Living’ explores emerging technologies and standards such as Wi-Fi 7 and Threads, which are transforming the smart home by ensuring seamless integration of connected devices. The success of smart cities depends on improved connectivity and the strategic use of sensors to continuously monitor infrastructure, such as bridges, ensuring public safety and preparedness for future challenges.
