Recent advancements are demonstrating profound impacts on urban resilience and disaster management in the evolving landscape of smart city technologies. Among these, Virginia Beach’s flood resiliency program, an IDC Smart Cities North America Award winner, utilizes innovative edge computing technologies to manage flood risks effectively. This project is a prime example of how edge computing facilitates faster, localized decision-making by processing data close to its source, enhancing emergency responses and conservation efforts.

How critical is speed and latency reduction in the deployment of edge computing for effective disaster management in smart cities??

Dustin Seetoo, the Director of Product Marketing at Premio Inc. shares his insights on the crucial specifications edge computing technologies must fulfill to enhance smart city applications effectively. Drawing from his extensive experience in rugged edge computing solutions, he underscores the importance of rapid and reliable data processing for real-time urban operations.

“You’re able to move this model now into a real-world application that’s defined in inference, where the decision-making needs to be extremely fast and there should not be any latency,” Seetoo said.
