[Fiware-mundus-req] FIWARE inquiry

[James Holmes]

Dear Sir/Madam,

I represent an SME that has been active in traffic control systems in 
South Africa for more than 20 years. One of our main functions has been 
to integrate and consolidate various sub-systems such as traffic lights 
and sensors, variable message signs and vehicle detectors in order to 
present a unified UI in the control rooms. To this end we have used our 
in-house developed SCADA system called JSent. For more information on 
JSent please see jsent.co.za. For a better overview of the traffic 
features there is a brochure in the downloads section.

JSent is currently deployed in the main traffic centers in South Africa. 
In Durban, Cape Town, Pretoria and Johannesburg.  Most of the traffic 
status, traffic sensor data and camera feeds terminate in these control 
centers. With this experience, and knowledge of the local authorities, 
it seems that there could be a good fit between ourselves and FIWARE as 
far as smart city applications are concerned.

This email is to explore the possibility of further collaboration with 
FIWARE, possibly under the Mundus program.

I look forward to hearing your thoughts,

Best regards,

James Holmes
