Major U.S. City: Transforming Urban Infrastructure with Bacalhau
Expanso teamed up with a leading U.S. city to adopt Bacalhau, transforming the city’s digital infrastructure, especially in edge deployments. This initiative leverages advanced technology to enhance public safety, operational efficiency, and economic development, positioning the city as a leader in smart city innovation.

The Implementation Process
One of the primary goals was to tackle the challenge of managing and analyzing data from 15,000 cameras across the city. The existing system was inefficient, relying on human operators and purging videos after seven days due to storage limitations. The aim was to implement a scalable solution that could provide real-time insights, enhance public safety, and reduce costs.
Integrating off-the-shelf hardware with Bacalhau allows the city to efficiently index edge video footage using machine learning, and then archive it. Data is processed locally at the edge, reducing bandwidth usage and keeping sensitive data on-premise.
The system now supports real-time video analysis, enables crowd monitoring, surveillance, predictive maintenance, and enhanced security measures. It also reduces operational costs for storage and bandwidth.
The collaboration between Expanso and the major U.S. city showcases the potential of advanced digital infrastructures. Bacalhau offers a cost-effective, scalable solution for the city’s video analysis and workload orchestration needs, reducing latency and enabling immediate responses to urban challenges. This project sets a model for other cities aiming to leverage next-generation technologies for sustainable urban development.
