Smart city specialist Digiflec is among the winners of the Tay5G Challenge, which aims to accelerate the development of 5G projects in the Tay Cities Region.
It is the fourth charging hub in the Scottish city to be centred around accessibility and enables the public to fill up bottles of purified drinking water.
The Scottish city will be using the ClimateView software platform that is designed to help cities live up to their pledges of becoming carbon neutral by visualising action plans.
The project will involve developing a demonstrator that will create a virtual 3D environment that models Orkney and the different components in its energy system from electric vehicles to generators and turbines.
Charging infrastructure development must catch up if the UK’s smart transport system and carbon reduction ambitions are to be realised, says Thomas Newby, chief operating officer of Tonik Energy.
Boston Networks claims that by the end of November, over 30 per cent of businesses, six local authorities and almost 1.4 million people will have access to affordable IoT connectivity across Scotland.
