Messina is preparing to change its face thanks to the M@GIS (Integrated Security Management) project, an ambitious initiative that aims to revolutionize the way in which the city deals with urban security. Today, the mayor Federico Basile has officially announced the start of the last phase of the project, with the assignment of the works for the creation of a modern network infrastructure to Sielte SpA, a leading company in the technological infrastructure sector.
An unprecedented safety net
The heart of the project involves the installation of well 1082 video surveillance cameras in 72 strategic areas of the municipal territory. These devices will be supported by a cutting-edge communication network, designed to guarantee a reliable and high-performance connection in every corner of the city. To make all this possible, Sielte SpA will implement 40 km of new optical fibre, which will be added to the 12 km already existing, creating a widespread network capable of supporting the most advanced technologies.
The strategic objectives
Thanks to this innovative infrastructure, Messina will be able to:
-Monitor the urban territory in real time, improving the intervention capacity of the competent authorities.
-Strengthen the prevention and fight against crime, making the city safer for all citizens.
-Manage traffic more efficiently, with a significant contribution to road safety.
-Counteract the abandonment of waste, thanks to more widespread and punctual monitoring.
A more innovative and safe city
“With this delivery, we begin the final phase of a strategic project that will strengthen the city’s security thanks to latest generation technologies,” said Mayor Basile. The works will mark an epochal turning point for the management of urban safety, offering effective tools to monitor and improve the quality of life of those who live and work in Messina.
