AN OPEN SOURCE PLATFORM ENABLING DIGITALLY EMPOWERED AND SUSTAINABLE SMART CITIES AND SMART COMMUNITIES.
By allowing cities to easily collect, process and share data, analytics insights and services, Orchestra Cities provides the foundation for a citizen-centric IoT-based platform able to help reduce their costs and drive their digital transformation.
Orchestra Cities is designed as a multi-function platform allowing a broad range of IoT-enabled applications and services, including waste and water management, transportation, air quality monitoring, traffic and parking, and more, to be effectively defined, offered and monitored.
ORCHESTRA CITIES IS A DATA AND IOT-DRIVEN SOLUTION DESIGNED TO CONNECT SMART DEVICES, CITIZENS AND CITIES IN A SUSTAINABLE, INTEROPERABLE AND SCALABLE ENVIRONMENT.

WHAT MARTEL CREATED
FOR ORCHESTRA CITIES:
QuantumLeap
QuantumLeap is a REST service for storing, querying and retrieving NGSI v2 and NGSI-LD spatial-temporal data. QuantumLeap stores data in a time-series database, associating each database record with a time index and, if present in the NGSI data, a location on Earth. Clients can then retrieve NGSI entities by filtering entity sets through time ranges and spatial operators. Note that, from the client’s stand point, these queries are defined on NGSI entities as opposed to database tables.
Quantum Leap enables sophisticated, multi-dimensional visualization of data, such as air quality, as part of Orchestra Cities scalable back-end delivering real-time data streams to both Web dashboards and end-user mobile applications, as well as data analytics and time series analysis of such contextually enriched data.
LoRaWAN IoT Agent
Orchestra Cities uses a new version of FIWARE LoRaWAN IoT Agent interfacing IoT devices and NGSI-LD APIs. The new version, developed together by Martel and our partners at ATOS, enables the support for LoRaWAN IoT devices integrated with The Things Network v3 API. The IoT Agent for LoRaWAN protocol enables data and commands to be exchanged between IoT devices and the NGSI-LD interface of a context broker using the LoRaWAN protocol. The LoRaWAN specification is a Low Power, Wide Area (LPWA) networking protocol designed to wirelessly connect battery-operated devices to the internet in regional, national or global networks, and targets key IoT requirements such as bi-directional communication, end-to-end security, mobility and localization services.
This IoT agent provides interoperability between FIWARE NGSI-LD Context Brokers and LoRaWAN devices. MARTEL provided different bug fixes and introduced support for The Things Network v3 API.
Anubis
Anubis provides portable data authorisation policies, linked to the data they protect and usable in multi-platform distributed settings. All these capabilities are essential enablers for data sovereignty: Data owners aim at retaining control on security and privacy policies over their own data, wherever they are, and possibly in a homogeneous and friendly way. Data policies regulate different aspects of data access: who can access it, which parts are accessible, what are the authorised purposes. By enriching existing data APIs with decentralised data sovereignty by means of portable and owner-defined data policies, Anubis both increases trust over such APIs and improves their interoperability.
Orchestra Cities, but also any other Anubis-empowered platform, can thus guarantee data owners will retain sovereignty over their data, according to their rules and evolve them together, everywhere.

EU Green Week 2020‘s theme is nature and biodiversity. It will highlight the contribution biodiversity makes to society and the economy, and the role it can play in supporting and stimulating recovery in a post-pandemic world, bringing jobs and sustainable growth. The recovery is an opportunity for a fresh start, in the knowledge that transformative change is possible.
– STORIES –
Elektrizitätswerke des Kantons Zürich (EKZ) delivers cost-effective, safe, and environmentally responsible energy to one million people in Switzerland. To support groups of integrated municipalities across Swiss regions, it combines direct sensor data, information willingly shared by the nearby cities and villages, and open data sources. Each municipality can support chosen scenarios such as traffic management, waste management, and environmental monitoring with different service and load levels.
Orchestra Cities allows EKZ to tailor the support for multiple use cases with adjustable information sharing, leveraging the platform’s multi-tenancy and cloud-native, elastic architecture. The data collection, integration, geo-tagging and time series capabilities of Quantum Leap enable sophisticated, multi-dimensional visualization of data, such as air quality. Orchestra Cities scalable back-end reliably delivers real-time data streams to both Web dashboards and end-user mobile applications.
The Stadtwerke Wolfsburg AG and its daughter companies are the infrastructure service provider for Wolfsburg and the surrounding region in Germany. Wolfburg’s Smart City offering excels by combining strong and reliable data collection, processing, and visualization with top class and accessible services for the citizens. A recurring need is integration of sensor data with geographical information systems and intelligent route planning.
Orchestra Cities is delivering on multiple scenarios such as providing citizens with a smart advisory system for domestic waste management. Users can plan the most effective route for waste disposal, considering container type, fill level, and user destination. A further smart route planning scenario manages electrical vehicles and their charging stations, with their occupancy and supported vehicles. Real-time dashboards offer an interactive user experience through the Urbo framework and scenario-specific customisations.
