Urban Fiber Infrastructure is the network of fiber optic cables deployed in cities to support communication, sensing, and data services. NEC Labs America leverages urban fiber infrastructure as both a communication backbone and a sensing platform. By applying distributed sensing to these networks, NEC enables smart streetscapes, traffic safety systems, and environmental monitoring. Urban Fiber Infrastructure transforms cities into intelligent, data-driven environments.
