Bitel, a major telecom in Peru, has invested $70,000 in a smart city project involving facial recognition in Trujillo, specifically in the District Municipality of Salaverry. This surveillance initiative aims to integrate biometric technology into the existing urban infrastructure, with the goal of improving residents’ quality of life, streamlining urban services, and reducing crime rates.
Another core component of the smart city project is the intelligent operations center (IOC) software, which collects and analyzes data from various sources. The IOC facilitates informed decision-making and enables city officials to quickly understand patterns and predict potential issues.
