Chordant, Panga tackle data management challenges for Smart Cities
Cloud-based data exchange technology leader Chordant and Panga SAS, a startup specializing in distributed local network architecture, have announced a collaboration initiative to build and deliver highly resilient data management solutions for cities and regions.
Chordant’s Mobility Data Exchange, Convex, enables new data centric solutions by sharing, transforming, and integrating dynamic structured and unstructured data between organisations and systems. Sitting at the intersection between Connected and Autonomous Vehicles, Intelligent Transport Infrastructure, Digitised Freight and Logistics and Mobility-based Services, the facility collaborates with different parts of the mobility eco-system to enable data-driven initiatives that will help governments ensure that transportation is safer, cleaner, and better.
Panga, a start-up based in La Rochelle, France, aims to unlock the value of data that is generated by smart digital sources in buildings and towns, both indoors and outdoors, to provide solutions for edge data aggregation where it’s needed – close to the user. Seeing real estate and smart cities as a set of services for users to choose from in a given territory, the B-NOS allows a unique way to connect services and users, monitor macro and micro usage, plug autonomous devices and empower Edge-Al.
“We all like to believe that data is the new ‘gold’, and yet, organisations have failed to acknowledge that it can be both valuable and dangerous,” explains Chordant’s President, Mika Rasinkangas. “Gartner’s data research presents that whilst data assets currently have a book value of twice the market average, companies can lose millions if data is mismanaged. Integrating Panga’s performance edge capability with Chordant’s renowned centralised data exchange technology enables public and private organisations to maximise the value they can extract from their data, securely.”
Panga’s CEO Cyril Banos adds, “Digital services and data continuously change our lives at an ever-increasing pace. Now that IoT has connected data and devices closer to users, our whole conception of infrastructures is upside down. Edge and grid computing are bringing value and instantaneous services, whilst reinforcing cybersecurity and reducing the environmental footprint. By interconnecting an intermediate layer, like Panga’s Operating System, to world class data exchange solution like Convex, public and private organisations can deploy an ecosystem of applications in a glimpse.”
