Stand 35
CGI is proud to return as Gold Sponsor to Connected Britain, the UK's leading event for public and private sector companies who are transforming UK connectivity with new ideas and ways of thinking.
We have built a new showcase in partnership with Nokia at our 5G lab in London to demonstrate how 5G private networks can transform business operations, with example use cases that we can apply to multiple industry sectors.
Smart PlacesWe're partnering with the City of Edinburgh Council on their journey to be Scotland’s Smart Capital City, harnessing technology to deliver higher quality services to their citizens.
SatcomsWith extensive security and safety systems expertise, CGI helps satellite communications operators and service providers to develop new strategies and services.
MetaverseWe are playing a leading role in creating and delivering pathways to the Metaverse with clients across the globe, leveraging our experience in consulting-led digital strategy, technology and data insights, systems integration and outsourcing.
CGI SensorInsights360 is a flexible, real-time data platform that delivers an end-to-end approach to IoT, asset data collection and asset management.
The solution enables organisations like local authorities, utilities and transport, to name a few, to reduce the complexity of their IoT and easily identify ways to improve operational efficiency whilst proactively monitoring and managing their critical services.
Earth Observation data is fundamental to tackling many of today’s issues relating to climate change, contributing to sustainable exploitation of the Earth’s natural resources and mitigating the impact of the natural environment on our businesses and infrastructure.
Imagery acquired from satellites can be used to monitor and manage. Scientists, governments, meteorologists, insurers, geologists, planners, oil & gas companies, utilities and defence want to use this information but the sheer scale of the data makes it difficult to manage.
CGI GeoData360 is a state-of-the-art data processing platform supporting complex processing on large volumes of Earth Observation and Geospatial Data.
As we continue to grow and hybrid working continues to become the new normal, we decided to innovate how we greet new members to the company.
Our CGI Meta Hub, based on our London office at 20 Fenchurch Street, is a collaborative metaverse environment that enables the onboarding of new members through a number of key scenarios:
CGI's Machine Vision is a diverse collection of bespoke AI models tailored to analyse a variety of visual inputs. We replace periodic manual inspection with continuous automatic video analysis that can reduce the cost of inspection, free up your engineers to do more value-adding work, and increase the rate of coverage many times.
The pose detection model recognises when a person has entered the frame and what position they are standing in. It is currently set up to raise an alarm in CGISI360 when anyone in the field of vision raises their hand. This functionality is the tip of the iceberg in terms of pose detection and people tracking. Going forward, this method could be applied to use cases in healthcare, construction, hospitality and many other industries.
Leveraging 5G technologies to complement or backup Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) for positioning
Leading a consortium around a team of world-renowned experts, CGI is developing the proof of concept for a hybrid positioning algorithm, combining 5G signals of opportunity with GNSS services to achieve increased positioning resilience and integrity.
The project focuses on a real-world drone flight test as well as developing the use case and requirements definition for a future hybrid positioning system.
CGI Indoor360 demonstrator provides ‘shared situational awareness’ by equipping safety personnel, such as healthcare workers and the emergency services, with a Microsoft HoloLens. This is a head mounted device with a transparent display, with an integrated LIDAR sensor. We use this device to map indoor spaces in 3D, while simultaneously tracking the user within the same model. No prior information about the indoor space is needed, and both tracking and creation of the model are done in real-time.
The data collected is shared between devices at the local site and a command-and-control centre in one persistent model. Multiple HoloLens devices can be used to explore a building, making collaborative exploration possible, distinguishing this capability from a device-based solution.
We all understand how important fixed and mobile broadband connectivity is, but are we fully realising the benefits for individuals, communities, businesses, and our planet? Faster broadband is just the start. Lower latency, high reliability and ubiquitous coverage enable so much more...
