SmartSantander, a smarter city
Telefonica has been piloting a new product for law enforcement in Santander. It involves a belt around a policeman’s waist with a series of sensors that can detect and warn the officer if there are dangerous gases or substances around them or dangerous temperatures.
It also contains an emergency button and accelerometer to detect if the police officer has fallen down. The aim is to better protect the emergency services and also allow the authorities to monitor if their officers are potentially entering dangerous areas.
