Solfix Smartcity

As cities grow, urban services face increasing pressure to be efficient, safe, and citizen-friendly. From monitoring traffic and pedestrian crossings to optimizing waste collection and improving public safety, municipalities are increasingly relying on IoT and AI-powered systems to manage city operations in real time.

Behind these smart urban solutions lies reliable connectivity, a critical enabler for real-time data transmission and automated decision-making. Solfix Smartcity partnered with 1NCE to deploy a scalable, secure, and cost-effective IoT infrastructure across hundreds of municipalities in Spain.

Background 

Solfix Smartcity specializes in deploying AIoT-enabled cameras and sensors for city management and security. Their platform integrates multiple urban services through one web-based system, allowing municipalities to monitor, analyze, and control assets in real time. Solfix has installed over 5,000 cameras in more than 400 municipalities, creating safer, more accessible, and smarter urban environments.

Key solutions include:

• Pedestrian Safety: AI-powered cameras monitor crossings to prevent accidents and optimize traffic flow.

• Traffic Management: Real-time monitoring of vehicles and congestion to improve urban mobility.

• Waste Management: Smart bins track fill levels and optimize collection routes for efficiency.

• Tourism & Public Information: Cameras and sensors help manage tourist flows and deliver accurate city information.

Challenge 

Deploying thousands of devices across wide urban areas presented multiple challenges:

• Ensuring consistent, reliable connectivity for cameras and sensors in diverse locations.

• Simplifying device management and monitoring across hundreds of municipalities.

• Maintaining a cost-effective and scalable IoT deployment, avoiding complex multi-carrier agreements or unpredictable data costs.

Solution with 1NCE 

Solfix Smartcity integrated 1NCE software and connectivity to power their smart city devices. With 1NCE’s Lifetime Subscription and multi-network coverage, Solfix ensures uninterrupted communication between cameras, sensors, and their management platform. 1NCE’s APIs allow real-time monitoring, remote diagnostics, and seamless integration into Solfix’s web dashboard.

This connectivity backbone enables Solfix to manage:

• Smart waste bins for optimized collection and reduced operational costs.

• AI-driven pedestrian crossing cameras for enhanced safety and incident prevention.

• Traffic monitoring cameras to improve flow and reduce congestion.

The Results Include

• 5,000+ connected cameras deployed across 400+ municipalities in Spain.

• 570 incidents resolved in Torrent alone using AI-powered monitoring.

• 25–30% improvement in waste collection efficiency through smart bin analytics.

• Real-time traffic and pedestrian monitoring reduced accidents and enhanced mobility.

• 100% remote device management, cutting operational overhead by 40%.

• Seamless scalability, ready to expand to additional cities without changing connectivity infrastructure.
