Seattle has partnered with Actelis Networks, Inc., a leader in cyber-hardened networking solutions, to upgrade its Intelligent Transportation System (ITS). This collaboration underscores Seattle’s commitment to leveraging advanced technology to enhance urban mobility, reduce congestion, and create a more sustainable city for its residents.
Seattle’s recognition as the smartest city in the United States is a testament to its pioneering approach to urban planning. The city has long prioritized sustainability, data-driven solutions, and innovative technologies to improve quality of life.
Central to its strategy is the ITS, which integrates cutting-edge technologies to streamline traffic flow, improve safety, and enhance the overall efficiency of the city’s roadways. Actelis Networks’ hybrid-fiber technology plays a critical role in this transformation, offering secure, high-speed connectivity for:
By upgrading existing infrastructure, Actelis enables real-time data transmission to the Seattle Traffic Operations Center, allowing city officials to manage traffic conditions proactively.
Using Actelis’ hybrid-fiber technology, the city gains access to:
These advancements are critical as Seattle continues to grow. With the global ITS market expected to reach $65.33 billion by 2032, investments in smart infrastructure are more important than ever.
Seattle’s modernization efforts align with its broader commitment to sustainability. The city has implemented urban planning initiatives that reduce greenhouse gas emissions, promote renewable energy, and encourage eco-friendly transportation. Actelis’ technology supports these goals by enabling smoother traffic flow, reducing idling times, and optimizing energy use across the transportation network.
“Seattle’s ability to embrace technology and sustainability hand-in-hand is what sets it apart as a global leader in urban innovation,” said Tuvia Barlev, Chairman and CEO of Actelis Networks.
This project is just the latest step in Seattle’s journey toward becoming a fully connected, data-driven city. Reports indicate that 66% of U.S. cities are investing in smart city technologies, and Seattle remains at the cutting edge of this trend.
Western Systems, a Washington-based partner instrumental in facilitating this collaboration, emphasized the importance of equipping cities with advanced solutions that enhance public safety and efficiency.
