Skyfii Ltd (ASX:SKF) will deploy its software-as-a-service (SaaS) recurring revenue IO Platform to the City of Fairborn and University of Dayton in the US state of Ohio on a five-year initial contract.
The contract is being delivered in partnership with North American Skyfii reseller Cincinnati Bell, an integrated communications solutions provider.
Skyfii chief executive officer Wayne Arthur said: “Having previously deployed services for Smart City initiatives in partnership with Cincinnati Bell, it is extremely pleasing to carry the success of the project to a neighbouring city and university arena.
“Our data analytics and marketing services, integrated with Cincinnati Bell’s wi-fi services, will provide a local area marketing and communication platform for events, advertising and business to promote their goods and services.”
IO Platform a ‘critical insights tool’
Cincinnati Bell is providing high-speed wi-fi connectivity to Fairborn’s business district and the University of Dayton.
The deployment of Skyfii’s guest wi-fi and marketing services through its IO Platform will provide a critical insights tool for city and campus managers, as well as businesses.
Cincinnati Bell and Skyfii have partnered on similar projects in the cities of Cincinnati and Covington in Kentucky.
