This solution is aligned with the Smart Tourism Destinations Platform.

Telefónica has developed a commercial service to offer its customers a global platform as a central nucleus and integrator of all IoT systems or systems that capture data from multiple tourist destinations, as well as Smart Cities, urban environments, provincial councils, regional governments, etc.

Telefónica’s solution is based on the Thinking City Platform, which is itself based on the European standard for Smart City platforms: FIWARE. The Thinking City Platform presents an architecture based on layers, in line with the AENOR (Spanish Association for Standardization and Certification) UNE178104:2017 standard. These layers allow the platform’s capabilities to be grouped logically to meet interoperability and integration requirements for apps and services. Telefónica’s platform complies with the National Security Framework (medium level), meeting all the requirements for software (quality, security, updates, vulnerabilities and risk management, maintenance and operating capacity). Compliance with the ENS () is conditional both on the infrastructure in place, and on the processes and protocols to access information implemented by each data centre.

The Thinking City Platform is a middleware tool that allows data from both IoT and non-IoT sources to be integrated. With this service, clients will be able to exploit information more effectively using executive dashboards and business intelligence, linking information from different sources via Big Data and Open Data. Some of the systems or verticals that can be integrated into the Thinking City Platform are the following:

• Sensorisation and efficiency: smart heritage, smart buoy, waste management, smart lighting, etc.
• Transport: smart pedestrian crossings, capacity control, smart parking, etc.
