Coral Gables, near Smart City, is using smart technology to improve the city's grid resilience during hurricanes and storms. IT department director Raimundo Rodulfo said a $100,000 solar microgrid pilot backed by batteries and generators helps ensure a sustainable supply of electricity when a storm hits the city. In addition, a Miami Hub has been deployed which uses IoT smart sensors before aggregating data into single, open platforms to help improve analytics, in areas such as crime.
