Phunware to Deploy Smart City Mobile Solution for City of Pasadena to Improve Citizen Engagement and Emergency Management - Seite 2

An interview with Mayor Wagner on this engagement is scheduled for June 4 at 10:30am CT and will be made available here.

Phunware’s Multiscreen-as-a-Service (MaaS) Smart City solution can help city officials quickly identify, locate and engage employees, citizens, first-responders, volunteers and even local businesses. Cities can also link existing services and platforms where application program interfaces (APIs) are available, which help drive awareness and utilization of other key city resources, including parking management, maintenance requests and law enforcement broadcasts.

“City officials were struggling with engagement and emergency management even before the ongoing pandemic, and these important community needs will continue to evolve rolling forward,” said Randall Crowder, COO of Phunware. “We are honored to deploy our MaaS mobile platform in support of the city of Pasadena, so its forward-thinking leaders have the tools that they need in a mobile-first world to combat uncertainty, help people return to work and begin the process of healing.”

Capabilities of Phunware’s MaaS Smart City solution on mobile include, but are not limited to:

• Notify and route to designated healthcare and testing locations, essential businesses still open, donation sites, government services and community events by engaging users with contextual triggers, including location, mapping, navigation and time.
• Designate essential versus nonessential businesses and offer additional details, including operating hours, services provided and contact information, all while enabling citizens to discover and receive notifications about these points-of-interest in real-time based on their proximity and location.
• Track and prevent potentially harmful exposure by contact tracing and monitoring device locations, including both real-time and historical lookbacks.
• Manage and enforce social distancing and quarantine policies, including proactive and reactive messaging, reminders and notifications.
• Coordinate the sharing of information by neighborhood, community and region to ensure that the right citizens are given the right messaging specific to their specific situation and individual needs.
