SMART CITY FANATIC

  FLOOD EXPO 2022 AND THE CONNECTION TO NEW MAPPING PLATFORM TECH (and yes, dammit: time to admit, this was and indeed, IS an Urban Hawk backed Blog!). #notanadvert ;) There are countless contexts in which the #POLARONWORLDENGINE can and will be applied by URBAN HAWK . Each area will be, gradually and carefully, unveiled and explored. Self contained and yet connected, logically.  Gamified, professionally relevant, insurance savvy, commercially aware!  AI/VR/AR friendly, accessible, up to the minute, state of the art visual mapping.  All launched in partnership with specific platforms, across sectors. Now, we cannot give away ALL our secrets. That would spoil the surprise, box us in and be bad business. What we CAN reveal, however, is that the pilot programme is imminent, starting OCTOBER, 2022. #POLARONISCOMING!  This will be a mainly B2B effort, at first. The B2C dimension will grow both organically and fairly quickly, from that sure footing. Influencer drives,...

And how you USE the tools!  But even so, IF we do continue to advance this (and 'we' as a world can and will)? Then it might just be good news that comes from said satellites and not some end of the world disaster, so much as a news story about SAVING things? Case in point: RAIN FORESTS!  Swarm satellites are used by the Texas-based Rainforest Connection to monitor illicit logging and poaching in more than 32 nations.  'Guardians' are solar-powered acoustic sensors that sit high in the treetops and appear to be part of the tree from the ground up. The sensors send a signal to one of Swarm's satellites overhead if they detect the sound of illegal activity up to 1...
