• Distribute the information so that it can be processed by those responsible for the different
municipal services such as waste management, environmental safety, mobility parking, traffic
and public transport, emergency management and public order and smart meters for water,
gas and electricity.

• Analyse the information according to established criteria.

• Make decisions by returning the refined information to the systems in charge of executing the
different actions.

Exposing data and capabilities to developers to facilitate the creation of an ecosystem of
applications on the platform, which creates additional value for the citizen.

4.2 Technological architecture of the urban platform

Figure 9 presents a proposal for an Open Smart City Enabling Infrastructure from the Smart Public
Lighting Network to be applied in Chile showing an architecture corresponding to the information
and communication technology realm of an Open and Sustainable Smart City, emphasizing the
Smart Public Lighting Network (RAPI). The proposed architecture consists of the following layers:
Intelligent Public Lighting Network (RAPI), layer of sensors and connected devices, interconnectivity
layer, layer of Integrated Operation and Control Centres, as well as an application layer and
communication interfaces.

A detailed description can be seen in the document “Model Master Plan for the Development of
Enabling Infrastructure of an Open Smart City”. ACTI-CORFO, September 2020.

The technology to implement the technological architecture of an open smart city must be modular
and expandable with widely adopted open standards, which can be combined with other platforms
and connected with the population through user-friendly applications. Municipalities and cities can
benefit from an Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity infrastructure that enables the development
of smart solutions in a ubiquitous way.

The main requirements to implement the technological options for a low-frequency communications
infrastructure for IoT should include open systems with low power consumption that operate in the
low-frequency bands (less than 1 GHz) and which make use of open IPv6 communications protocols.
