As a smart community, “Silicon Park” is going to feature innovative solutions from charging-docks for smart devices on the street to smart pop-up furniture and digital play tables, as well as optimally-designed bus shelters, piazzas shading, and other public amenities. As part of the ‘smart’ experience, free Wi-Fi will be available to tenants and visitors in the premises, giving them access to a wide range of innovative applications and smart robotic technology solutions.
Including sporting activities, the park will feature facilities that enhance the concept of modern,
healthy living. It will feature facilities such as health and fitness centers, running and cycling trails, allowing residents the choice of enjoying various sporting activities and prioritizing their health to lead a more holistic lifestyle. Arranging mobility and transportation, the “Silicon Park” complex will be completely devoid of vehicles. Instead, electric vehicles will serve as the primary form of transportation. A number of charging stations will be set up across the area that can be accessed by all residents and visitors with electric vehicles. The project is also going to include other means of transportation such as smart rechargeable electric bikes.
The “Silicon Park” project plans to open up a spectrum of office spaces and modern business facilities including meeting halls, a multi-use conference centre, residential units and spaces for retail outlets. The facility will also include interactive advertising billboards that is going to be mounted on the building’s glass facade with the use of smart glass technology that protects the transparency of the glass and allows a complete clear view from within and without the structure.
Smart applications in the public services sector for license issue and renewal will be also implemented.
“Silicon Park” is going to consist of a control centre that collects and analyses data and information gathered through the sensor devices available at the project’s site. The compiled information will assist to operate and manage these devices in a seamless manner to ensure the delivery of best smart services to employees, residents and visitors.
