How to build smart cities with FIWARE Orion Context Broker and Cygnus on AWS
Several smart cities use FIWARE, an open source framework supporting the development of smart solutions. FIWARE leverages sensing data from Internet of Things (IoT) devices, then collects, stores, and analyzes data with an API call.
