In October 2016, headed by the Trimetys group (local family group specialising in agri-food, real estate, tourism, leisure and education), Cap Tamarin obtained its “”Smart City”” labelling Certificate thus becoming the first Smart City labelled project in Mauritius.
Located in the commune of Tamarin, in the west of the island, this project is planned to cover a total area of around 40 hectares, with the aim of meeting the island’s sustainable growth challenges. Based on a philosophy of “”Work, Live, Play””, the project is being developed by taking into account the environmental, social and economic aspects of the area in order to offer a place for “”living together””.
Trimetys, a Mauritian developer looking for a partner with already strong references, has appointed the setec Group to provide full project management assistance for the construction of the Cap Tamarin smart city. setec is involved in the “”Telecommunications and digital”” section.
An initial diagnostic phase, initiated in the summer of 2016, made it possible to gain an understanding of the Mauritian context (operators present in the area, Telecommunications regulatory authorities etc.) and to define the main technical orientations of the project.
A second technical feasibility phase was conducted during the first half of 2017. It enabled the technical sizing of the optical local loop to be installed in the area under consideration, while taking into account the interfaces with setec’s various activities (mutualisations of certain premises, planning of civil engineering works etc.). This phase also resulted in a definition of a set of “”Smart”” services to be put in place, based on LPWA low-speed networks for IoT (Internet of Things)
