CivicConnect, formerly Civic Resource Group, brings 15 years’ experience delivering digital solutions and services to the Public Sector. With customers across sectors and agency levels, CivicConnect has a deep understanding of the needs, resources and priorities of this sector, and harnesses this knowledge and expertise as we continue to build our CivicConect platform and applications.

As the urban population grows and the populace relies on single passenger trips, congestion increases, and the staggering economic and environmental consequences from this congestion demands alternatives. Public Sector entities must find timely and cost-effective ways to tackle the challenges of urban mobility to ensure sustainable, economically viable cities. CivicConnect provides their integrated data management platform, AR based applications and intelligence for delivering urban mobility solutions. Over time, the CivicConnect data management platform and applications will grow to address all aspects of a connected Smart City.

Their aim is to enable cities “as enterprises” to improve efficiency and sustainability while providing citizens, visitors and workers the tools they need to more easily explore and navigate their cities.

CivicConnect provides a suite of applications that leverage Augmented Reality (AR) and the latest mobile technologies to deliver a compelling user experience. With an initial focus on urban mobility, these applications are built on the CivicConnnect platform, a cloud-based platform, purpose-built for the public sector, that enables rapid deployment while providing the data and analytics needed to make smart decisions. Developers can use the platform and growing set of APIs to create their own Smart City applications.

Cradlepoint Elastic EdgeTM provides a modern approach to connecting and protecting IoT devices at scale, whether deployed in the field, in buildings, or in embedded systems—without burdening IT resources. Each IoT network solution provides a choice of 4G LTE and WiFi connectivity options and is built through Cradlepoint NetCloud to deliver complete visibility, security, and control of connected devices anywhere.

Cradlepoint NetCloud is a service-based platform that spans from cloud to edge and makes it easier to deploy, manage, and secure an IoT device network than ever before—more visibility and control with less resources.

NetCloud Perimeter provides perimeter-secured and encrypted overlay networks that can be set up in minutes for scalable device-to-cloud connectivity. Best of all, it’s included with every NetCloud Essentials Solution Package for IoT.

CivicConnect's AR adds a layer of rich data and information to any application that enhances points of interest including city assets, buildings, and signs.

For citizens & visitors, this interactive environment draws individuals to new locations, helps them find their way, encourages exploring culture and local businesses, and adds a digital element to navigating city assets that sets any city apart.

For public workers, AR provides easy access to instant, real time information about any asset or location to maximize efficiency and enhance service delivery.

Once users have chosen their destination, provide directions via AR navigation for a complete end-to-end experience. An arrow appearing on top of the real-world view can provide step-by-step walking directions from the user’s current location to their selected point of interest.

The CivicAR Mobile Platform is supported by the CivicConnect platform, a data management, development and deployment platform for the public sector. The platform enables mobile, data driven applications with Augmented Reality capabilities for smart cities. CivicConnect easily scales from local implementations to large-scale regional implementations.

Development and CivicConnect Asset Management are built on top of the CivicAR Mobile Platform. Developers can also use the CivicAR Mobile Platform to develop custom mobile Smart City applications with Augmented Reality features.
