Snap4City's platform is aligned with various interoperability standards and protocols, ensuring its compatibility and integration with a wide range of IoT solutions, including FIWARE. Snap4City is a Gold Member of FIWARE and officially recognized as a FIWARE platform, signifying its compliance with FIWARE protocols such as NGSI V1 and V2. This compliance facilitates the platform's ability to interact with general IoT connections, applications, and dashboards, supporting a variety of protocols beyond FIWARE's, such as JSON, MQTT, Lightweight M2M, LoraWAN, OPC, SigFOX, and more. The platform is designed to be flexible, allowing for direct connection to Snap4City or through an IoT Orion Broker, whether external or provided by Snap4City, or via third-party IoT brokers in any protocol (Snap4City).
Snap4City's architecture and features further support its adaptability and integration capabilities. It accommodates edge and fog processing, enabling direct connections with Snap4City microservices either on the cloud or installed locally. The platform also offers specific APIs for authentication and authorization, among other functions, to ensure secure and seamless integration with existing city infrastructure and data sources (Snap4City).
Overall, Snap4City provides a comprehensive solution for smart city development, leveraging its flexibility, open-source nature, and compatibility with FIWARE and other standards to support the creation of living labs and smart city solutions. Its digital twin solutions, for instance, offer interactive dashboards, data models, processing applications, and AI-driven analytics, all of which are crucial for developing sentient city applications that are sustainable and intelligent (Snap4City).
