Real-Time Urban Intelligence for Safer, Smarter Cities

Cities are evolving into high-density, sensor-rich environments—but most do not use the data. Public safety, traffic response, and infrastructure monitoring remain fragmented, requiring cost-intensive manual monitoring.

GSI’s APU changes that paradigm.

A New Standard: Real-time Awareness at City Scale

Smart city technology

GSI’s APU enables real-time, on-site intelligence across distributed urban environments—delivering actionable insight and warnings to operators in seconds at costs that make sense.

By combining compute-in-memory architecture with ultra-low latency inference, APU technology transforms existing camera, sensor, and edge infrastructure into a cohesive, city-wide awareness layer.

The Result

What This Unlocks

Public Safety, Redefined

Deploy intelligent monitoring across transportation hubs, public spaces, and high-risk zones.

  • Detect violent activity in real time
  • Identify abnormal crowd behavior before escalation
  • Enable rapid dispatch with contextual awareness

Traffic & Incident Response

Move from reactive traffic management to predictive, real-time control.

  • Instant accident detection and classification
  • Dynamic rerouting based on live conditions
  • Reduced congestion and emergency response times

Infrastructure Resilience

Continuously monitor the health of city infrastructures and highlight to human monitors in real-time.

  • Early detection of accidents, or physical failures
  • Sensor fusion across visual, acoustic, and environmental inputs
  • Prevention of cascading failures

Why Our APU Is Fundamentally Different

This is not incremental AI acceleration. This is a new deployment model.

Gemini-II Architecture

  • Distributed, edge-native intelligence
  • Real-time responses to multi-modal inputs providing awareness
  • Order-of-magnitude improvement in performance per watt
  • Economically scalable across thousands of endpoints

Traditional GPU-Based Systems

  • Centralized processing
  • High latency due to data movement
  • Power- and cost-prohibitive at city scale

The result is a persistent awareness fabric, not isolated analytics nodes.

Designed for City-Scale Economics

Smart city deployments fail when they cannot scale economically.

The APU is engineered for broad, dense deployment.

This allows municipalities and private operators to move from:
“Where can we afford to deploy intelligence?” to “Where do we need visibility?”

Market Opportunity

Built for Integration, Ready for Deployment

The Vision: A City That Understands Itself

GSI’s vision is a city that is not just connected—but aware.

Our APU is the enabling platform for this transition.

Why This Wins

  • Architectural advantage: Compute-in-memory eliminates the data movement bottleneck
  • Economic disruption: Enables full-scale deployment at a fraction of traditional cost
  • Latency leadership: Critical for real-world, safety-driven applications
  • Market timing: Aligns with the shift toward edge AI and on-prem intelligence
