The Mosaic Meridian got a moment in the spotlight on local Ottawa news as city officials implement Smart City technology.
Smart Cities
How Mosaic solutions provide up-to-date data for efficient city planning and development
Client testimonials
We knew from the start that we wouldn’t go wrong with our choice of the Mosaic 51 and it has proven to be the best in the market. We have been successfully scanning the whole country for several months, focusing on identifying utilities, thus adding increased automation to a once manually-intensive project.
Our ultimate goal is to turn all cities in Jordan into smart cities. With the added benefit of being able to integrate with external sensors, including the Emlid RS2 RTK, the benefits and applications are amazing. We will always keep a close eye on Mosaic products as they always amaze us with new features and capabilities.

We now have a head start on the new developments happening across Dakhla, and it’s a relief to know that we will be able to keep up with the city’s rapid expansion in terms of data, enforcement, and citizen complaints. We’re now able to react more quickly to public disorder, illegal buildings, and settlements. This is a major improvement for the government-business-citizen relationship, especially as the city works to attract more tourism and international investment.
Why choose Mosaic for city planning?
The data layer that makes smart city technology work
Smart city technologies – from digital twins and GIS platforms to AI-assisted asset detection – are only as good as the data they run on. Aerial imagery alone can’t read a street sign, assess the condition of a traffic signal, or tell you whether a pothole needs urgent attention.

Street-level 360° imagery captured with Mosaic cameras provides the ground-truth visual layer that smart city solutions depend on – detailed, georeferenced, and compatible with the GIS tools and machine learning workflows that turn raw data into actionable insight.
Real-time city awareness for faster, better decisions
One of the core promises of smart city technology is giving decision-makers accurate, current information before they act – not after. Whether it’s an emergency team navigating to an incident, a maintenance crew heading out to a repair, or a planner assessing a neighborhood remotely, having up-to-date street-level imagery means knowing what conditions look like before anyone leaves the office.

Because Mosaic cameras are easy to deploy and operate, cities are in full control of how often they resurvey – updating their data after major roadworks, following a storm, or simply on a regular cycle to keep pace with how fast urban environments change. That temporal accuracy is what separates a smart city solution that reflects the city as it actually is today from one that’s working off last year’s records.
Smarter budgets through accurate asset inventory
One of the most practical examples of smart city technology in action is using mobile mapping data to drive budget decisions. With a comprehensive, up-to-date inventory of every sign, streetlight, pavement marking, and piece of street furniture across an entire city, managers no longer have to rely on outdated records or send crews out to assess conditions one asset at a time.

Instead, they can identify where the greatest need is, prioritize maintenance and replacement programs accordingly, and validate that work has been completed – all from the office, at a fraction of the time and cost of traditional methods. High-resolution 360° imagery from Mosaic camera systems gives managers the detail they need to make these decisions confidently and consistently.
