Comcast Smart Solutions is collaborating with the City of Tucker, GA, a suburb of Atlanta, to upgrade the city’s public trail and park system's lighting infrastructure with a solution designed to enhance visibility and connectivity.
The City of Tucker selected Comcast Smart Solutions to implement a fully-integrated video analytics, Wi-Fi, 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.
There are several benefits of this project.
Comcast said that the project aims to enhance both security protocols and connectivity by providing advanced video analytics and public Wi-Fi 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.
What is a smart city?
A smart city leverages digital technologies, including the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), and real-time data, to enhance services, promote sustainability, and improve the quality of life for its citizens. Some of the key trends to watch in 2025 include AI-powered transit, IoT-based waste systems, smart buildings, 5G/6G networks, and urban farming.
With Comcast Business’s Dedicated Internet serving as the foundation, the solution integrates multiple features, including video analytics, CCTV functionality, and a Wi-Fi hotspot into single, multipurpose high-efficiency light fixtures from smart technology provider Juganu.
This installation enables real-time monitoring and provides insights into foot traffic and trail activity, while also providing public internet access. As a combined solution, Tucker officials will be able 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.
Since its incorporation in 2016, the City of Tucker has consistently focused on balancing small-town character with forward-thinking growth.
City officials said this brilliant park initiative aligns with its 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.”
