Virginia establishes smart city testbed

Virginia is launching what claims to be the US state’s first smart city testbed, in partnership with Stafford County, Virgina’s Centre for Innovative Technology (CIT) and technology provider Mutalink.

This public/private partnership is funded by the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) that aims to foster community-driven innovation that improves emergency response.
