Partnering with the University of Windsor, BlackBerry today announced a new flood risk and clean water monitoring solution based on BlackBerry AtHoc. When the solution is put to use, BlackBerry says governments, utility companies and local communities could save up to $1,000,000 or more annually in operating expenses while increasing environmental, safety, and health benefits.
"BlackBerry is pleased to deliver this critical innovation, based on BlackBerry AtHoc, as the climate change crisis escalates. Climate change is one of the most pressing threats to our everyday lives, and tackling it requires the urgent and combined effort of governments, organizations, and individuals," said Neelam Sandhu, Senior Vice President & Chief Elite Customer Success Officer. "BlackBerry is committed to delivering advanced technologies, that turn real-time data into intelligence and leverage our leadership in communications, to enable the safety and security of people around the world. Furthermore, we are on-track to be carbon neutral this year."
"Globally, societies must increasingly rely on the autonomous monitoring of air and water to inform our understanding of the environment and to alert us to impending danger. The BlackBerry solution announced today delivers on this need," said Mike McKay, Executive Director, Great Lakes Institute for Environmental Research, University of Windsor. "Autonomous early-warnings and real-time monitoring are critical to provide enough time to address the risks communities around the world are currently facing. We are proud to have partnered with BlackBerry on this important and unique technology."
With the system being based on BlackBerry AtHoc, it will tap into large amounts of sensor data to provide year-round monitoring while offering valuable insights from the processed data including early warnings for seasonal and unseasonal water related risks.
