Comcast Smart Solutions Strengthens Tucker Security
Comcast Smart Solutions has announced a collaboration with the City of Tucker, GA, an Atlanta suburb, to upgrade the lighting infrastructure on the city’s public trail and park system with a smart solution designed to enhance visibility and connectivity.
Integrated Technology for Enhanced Security
The City of Tucker selected Comcast Smart Solutions to implement a fully-integrated video analytics, WiFi, and lighting solution into existing light fixtures along a portion of the city’s public trail that leads to Tucker Town Green, a recreational park. The project aims to strengthen both security protocols and connectivity by providing advanced video analytics and public WiFi access to the area. By leveraging existing lighting infrastructure, the city helped manage costs and simplified the process of bringing AI-powered monitoring and connectivity into this public space.
Multipurpose Smart Fixtures
The solution integrates multiple features, including video analytics, CCTV functionality, and a WiFi hotspot into single, multipurpose high-efficiency light fixtures from smart technology provider Juganu, all powered by Comcast Business’ Dedicated Internet. This installation enables real-time monitoring and provides insights into foot traffic and trail activity, while also providing public internet access. Together, these capabilities allow Tucker officials to respond more quickly to potential issues, enhance safety efforts, support a connected environment, and use data insights to help inform future updates of the trail system.
“We’re proud to partner with the City of Tucker to help create a more connected and responsive environment for city residents and employees,” said Mike Slovin, Vice President and General Manager of Comcast Smart Solutions. “By integrating connectivity, monitoring, and AI-powered analytics into their existing lighting infrastructure, we’re providing an efficient and cost-effective way to help the city enhance their safety protocols and improve the overall experience in public spaces.”
A Commitment to Community Growth
The City of Tucker, incorporated in 2016, has consistently focused on balancing small-town character with forward-thinking growth. This smart park initiative aligns with the city’s broader goals to improve infrastructure, modernize public spaces, and enhance the quality of life for residents.
“Integrating smart technology into our public spaces and trails is a key step forward,” said Micah Seibel, Assistant to the City Manager. “It allows us to deliver reliable connectivity to our community and better monitor usage in a way that’s scalable, efficient, and simple to manage.”
Tailored Solutions for the Southeast
“The Southeast is home to a diverse range of communities and businesses, each with its own unique needs for connectivity and innovation,” said Mike Thibodeaux, Vice President of Business Services for Comcast Business. “Our partnership with the City of Tucker demonstrates our commitment to providing customized smart technology solutions that help enhance public safety and promote growth, digital access, and innovation throughout the region.”
