Project Overview

Dholera Smart City, a pioneering smart city project in India, required a comprehensive ICT infrastructure to support its vision of a connected, efficient, and intelligent urban ecosystem. The project spanned multiple work packages, including citywide networks, an ERP suite, integrated operations, surveillance systems, and citizen-centric applications. Technext Solutions was entrusted with the design, supply, installation, integration, commissioning, operation, and maintenance of the ICT components.

Objective

Work Package 1: ICT Infrastructure and Citywide Networks
Develop citywide ducts and dark fiber networks for robust communication infrastructure.
Deploy active and passive network components for efficient data flow.
Install sensor networks for utility management, including water, electricity, and waste monitoring.
Implement an integrated operations platform for centralized city management.
Provide basic surveillance solutions with on-premise and cloud hosting.
Set up a Network Operations Centre (NOC) for monitoring and managing network infrastructure.
Ensure enterprise and network security with advanced management systems.

Work Package 2: ERP and Citizen Services
Deploy an ERP suite with modules for city administration and governance.
Ensure master data governance and migrate critical data to the new systems.
Integrate GIS data to enable spatial analytics and decision-making.
Develop city applications for e-Governance integration, a citizen-focused web portal, multi-service kiosks, and mobile applications.
Implement process workflows for improved service delivery.

Work Package 3: Integrated Operations Centre and Surveillance
Establish a City Integrated Operations Centre (CIOC) and a control room for centralized management.
Install advanced surveillance systems with video analytics capabilities.
Provide AV hardware and software for collaborative management.
Integrate helpdesk solutions with collaboration tools for streamlined communication.
Deploy dashboards, reporting systems, and variable messaging signboards for public communication and monitoring.
