End-to-end smart city intelligence platform built on AWS
Sphere delivers end-to-end smart city platforms on AWS – unifying traffic, utilities, public safety, environmental monitoring, and citizen services into a single, integrated city intelligence platform. FedRAMP-ready architecture, open APIs, and a pre-built accelerator that gets cities live in months, not years.

Why This Matters Now
Cities face a fragmentation crisis: traffic sensors from one vendor, utility monitoring from another, public safety cameras from a third – and zero integration between them. City operations teams are managing 8–15 separate software systems that don’t talk to each other, making it impossible to see the full picture, respond to incidents intelligently, or prove ROI to city councils and taxpayers.
1. Data Silos Block Intelligence
15 separate city systems generating data that never combines means operations teams are always missing context – responding to symptoms rather than addressing root causes.
2. Vendor Lock-In Creates Perpetual Dependency
Proprietary smart city platforms charge premium subscription fees and make it expensive to switch – trapping cities in escalating costs with no competitive alternatives.
3. Procurement and Compliance Requirements Slow Innovation
Federal and state security requirements (FISMA, CJIS, FedRAMP) require specialized cloud architecture expertise that most city IT teams don’t have internally.
What Sphere Delivers
Sphere’s AWS Smart City Platform is built on open APIs, open standards (NGSI-LD), and AWS GovCloud – giving cities full data ownership, compliance confidence, and the flexibility to add, swap, or extend any system component over time. Our accelerator includes pre-built integrations for 40+ common city systems and a unified operations console that goes live in 90 days.
Unified City Operations Console
Single dashboard aggregating all city data streams – traffic, utilities, environment, public safety, and citizen services – with real-time incident management and predictive alerts.
Pre-Built System Integrations
40+ pre-built connectors for common city systems: traffic management, SCADA utilities, CAD/dispatch, 311 platforms, transit systems, and parking management.
AI-Powered City Analytics
Predictive analytics for traffic flow optimization, utility demand forecasting, crime hotspot prediction, and infrastructure maintenance scheduling.
FedRAMP-Ready GovCloud Deployment
AWS GovCloud architecture meeting FISMA Moderate, CJIS, and FedRAMP Ready requirements – with full data residency in US government cloud regions.
Citizen Services AI
GenAI-powered 311 assistant, multilingual service chatbot, and self-service portal – reducing call center volume by 40–55% while improving citizen satisfaction.
Open Data Architecture
Keep control of city data, integration logic, and future platform choices from day one. Sphere builds the platform on open APIs and NGSI-LD standards.
Built On Industry-Leading Technology
Sphere’s AWS Smart City Platform is built for municipalities that need one operational layer across infrastructure, public safety, utilities, mobility, and citizen services without locking themselves into a closed vendor stack. The architecture combines AWS GovCloud, real-time streaming, AI services, GIS integration, and open standards so cities can unify data, support compliance, and expand system capabilities over time on a secure and interoperable foundation.
