Located on England’s north-east coast, Kingston upon Hull (Hull) will become the first city in the UK to benefit from its own purpose-built Smart City Operating System (OS) that will connect essential council services and centralize information from multiple sources that can be analyzed and used to promote a better quality of life for residents.
Hull City Council (Hull CC) has forged a partnership with Internet of Things (IoT) technology developer Connexin to deliver its CityOS platform to make Hull a world-leading Smart City.
Described as the ‘Operating System of a Smart City’, Hull CC will use Connexin’s CityOS platform to integrate, view, manage and respond to information from a range of council services, sensors and systems, using a single intelligent dashboard.
Information from current and future data producing deployments, such as smart lighting, traffic management, parking, CCTV, waste management and WiFi deployments, are to be integrated into the ‘single pane of glass’ software platform.

Connexin’s Smart City operating system is built around the Cisco Kinetic for Cities (CKC) platform, which takes data from a range of sensors into a set of services such as waste, lighting and parking.
“Our platform will enable Hull to become a ‘programmable city’ and move from outdated siloed service driven technologies to a central platform to improve service delivery, reduce costs and to make the most of new technologies such as IoT, AI and machine learning algorithms,” said Furqan Alamgir, founder and CEO of Connexin.
Hull City Council are investing in the future of their city to help it become one of the smartest in the world, and we’re delighted to be a part of that with Connexi
