A resource-efficient and comprehensive radio network for the city LoRaWAN
Comprehensive radio network for Darmstadt as the basis for the Internet of Things.
Collaboration with the Mittelstand 4.0 Competence Centre
Thanks to intelligent and digitally networked systems, people, machines and products will be able to communicate directly with each other in the future. Digital transformation in industrial production means linking production processes with state-of-the-art information and communication technologies and affects all stakeholders along the entire value chain – from suppliers to producers to service providers.
Darmstadt im Herzen
The Darmstadt im Herzen app provides information on current events and trends in Darmstadt as well as on offers and services provided by the Stadtwirtschaft.
Darmstadt model schools
The aim of the project was to support three Darmstadt model schools on their way to becoming digitally confident schools that mediate ‘digital literacy’ in everyday school life. They teach “digital literacy” in everyday school life and share their knowledge with other schools.
Aktionsbereiche der Digitalstadt Darmstadt
Aktuelle Projekte der Digitalstadt Darmstadt
Free Wi-Fi
In order to increase the quality of online visibility and design of digitally networked products and services, free Wi-Fi is also required, especially in the areas of a city important to tourists. Darmstadt has had its own network since 2016, which is being continuously expanded.
Digital Shop Window
Normal shop windows usually offer only limited space. In addition, not all shops have the opportunity to offer their products in the most visited shopping locations. The Digital Shop Window project enables Darmstadt-based retailers to present themselves online on a central platform.
Strong cybersecurity in the Smart City
New technologies also bring along new risks. The digitalisation and networking of critical infrastructure and municipal institutions make them vulnerable to hacker attacks and malfunctions with potential consequences for citizens. The growing importance of data as a raw material has led to new threats, such as data theft from companies and households. Digital communication with and between authorities also poses a challenge to the encryption standard.
