MUMBAI: Rolta India Ltd. today announced that its subsidiary, Rolta International, Inc. has
been awarded the prestigious "Smart City" project for Nanjing, China, in preparation for
hosting the 2014 Youth Olympics. Rolta has engaged ARES Security Corporation of
Burlingame, CA to leverage their systems engineering expertise to assist in developing an
integrated geospatial transportation solution for the city.
The solution will collect Nanjing's transportation data from hundreds of sensors and
provide dashboards to assist in traffic management and monitoring environmental parameters
in real-time to better handle the dramatic increase in demands on the city's
infrastructure. With this solution, which incorporates Rolta iPerspective(TM), a platform
for integration of disparate sources of data, Rolta OneView(TM) for business intelligence,
and Rolta Geospatial Fusion(TM) to integrate spatial attributes municipal mangers will
have a robust decision- support capability to better address near and long term traffic
planning needs. The project was funded through a United States Trade and Development
Agency (USTDA) grant that targets the creation of sustainable infrastructure and economic
growth through the export of U.S. goods and services. Rolta's solution will be used to
support the intelligent transportation requirements for the 2014 Youth Olympics.
The Smart City project is the first collaboration under a newly formed ARES
Security-Rolta strategic alliance. This alliance takes advantage of the partners' diverse
but complementary strengths to develop and offer security management solutions. Both
partners have a rich repository of software built around their respective intellectual
property and deep expertise in the security domain that enables them to deliver
world-class solutions.
"The USTDA project in Nanjing is but one example of how the complementary solutions of
the two companies will provide an excellent framework for addressing the large global
market of enterprise risk management," said Mr. Ben Eazzetta, President of ARES Security.
"The credentials of the Rolta Team are a great fit for developing and deploying the
sophisticated solution required for the ambitious program of Nanjing."
Ms. Preetha Pulusani, President of Rolta International (Americas), said, "We are
pleased to have been selected to lead this effort. We view the Nanjing project as
strategically important not only because it addresses the needs of Nanjing to host an
important international event, but also because the sophisticated solution has wide
applicability and, therefore should pave the way for greater US-China trade. We will
continue to jointly pursue new opportunities that leverage ARES Security and Rolta
software, and our expertise to offer differentiated solutions to customers globally."
