I Meeting of Smart Cities 'Murcia Smart'.
The City Council, in collaboration with the UMU, launches Smart City's testing platform and initiates pilot experiences in services such as public transport, traffic situation or availability of parking spaces.
CEUS (the Single Monitoring Center) will monitor 100 city indicators through the information provided by sensors installed at strategic points that will provide information in real time.
The City of Murcia has begun pilot tests for the 'intelligent' management of the city within the technology project 'MiMurcia', a progressive implementation plan to three years, with a total budget of 8 million euros, which has received the largest Financing of Spain in the last call of the Program of Intelligent Cities of Red.es, entity dependent of the Secretary of State for the Information Society of the Ministry of Industry, Energy and Tourism.

As a pilot, the City Council has already begun to install some of these smart sensors, coinciding with the DNA project of the neighborhood of Santa Eulalia, where a new intelligent lighting system is being tested, a smart irrigation system, open wifi In the Plaza de Europa and the first step of intelligent pedestrians.
In total, the project 'MiMurcia' contemplates the installation of the following technological devices:
· 33 new nodes for the extension of coverage of the Wifi network.
· 50 IP cameras for the improvement of traffic management.

· 54 Bluetooth beacons for boosting local commerce.
· 10 intelligent irrigation systems with parks and gardens.
· 15 intelligent lighting systems in streets, squares, parks and gardens.
· 4 new digital information points.
