i-Neighbour Stimulates Smart Community Living
The key elements in building a smart community are data-driven decision making, collaboration & engagement, and real-time awareness. Even though smart concept can easily be adapted in an office environment due to the hierarchical nature of a corporate world, applying the same concept into a community that is made up by individual families from diverse background poses a few challenges. In achieving a smart community status, community leaders have to take the initiative to make their community efficient and smarter by incorporating the latest technology offerings to their community set up and they need to broadcast the benefits of smart community living to the members in order to gain greater engagement and collaboration from all.

i-Neighbour is a solution that offers communities with a tool to achieve all of that and more, and i-Neighbour further exploits a combination of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, big data, inclusive apps, and community feedback in order to realize the smart community status of any neighbourhood particularly in gated guarded and high-rise residentials.
