A global partnership for a global marketplace

Case Study
Partners of Living PlanIT work with us to integrate their technologies to open up new markets; one example is the fusion of McLaren technology with that of Cisco:
For more than 20 years, McLaren has continued to develop and improve upon its sensor and telemetric technologies. All Formula 1 racing teams use it, in large part because it provides efficient real-time control together with the ability to process, aggregate, and transmit data from hundreds of sensors. Channelling similarly generated code in an urban environment, the Cisco ISR router functions as a perfect host—running within the context of the local network and ensuring that no more data needs to be processed throughout the network than is strictly necessary.
As a result, this combination of technologies provides a reliable, scalable, unified platform for localized real-time control and sensor processing and management. It is one of the differentiators that make Living PlanIT's Urban Operating System the platform ideally suited for deploying advanced technology into large scale urban developments.
