Why This Matters Now

Cities are drowning in siloed infrastructure data, with traffic sensors that don’t talk to air quality monitors, utility systems disconnected from mobility data, and operations teams making decisions based on stale information. Traditional smart city platforms require expensive private IoT gateway networks, multi-year procurement cycles, and proprietary lock-in. By the time a city deploys, the technology is already outdated.

1. Fragmented Data, Zero Unified View

Traffic, utilities, environmental, and public safety data sits in separate systems. City operations
teams can’t see the full picture or act on it fast enough.

2. Private IoT Networks Cost Millions

Building a city-wide private LoRaWAN or cellular IoT network requires $2M–$10M in
infrastructure before a single sensor is live.

3. Procurement Cycles Kill Innovation

Traditional government IT procurement takes 18–36 months. By go-live, the technology is
obsolete and the problem has worsened.

What Sphere Delivers

Sphere leverages Sidewalk – an Amazon’s shared, city-scale IoT connectivity network – to eliminate the need for private gateway infrastructure entirely. Our pre-built accelerator connects environmental, traffic, utility, and public safety sensors to a unified AWS-hosted city intelligence platform. Cities get real-time dashboards, automated alerts, and predictive analytics without the traditional capital expenditure.

Built On Industry-Leading Technology

Sphere builds the platform on a proven AWS and IoT foundation, selected for secure connectivity, real-time data handling, scalable analytics, and public-sector readiness. This stack supports city-wide sensor deployments, live operational visibility, predictive modelling, and straightforward integration with the systems municipalities already run.

Sphere Partners
Selah Ben-Haim VP of Engineering at Prominence Advisors

Our experience with Sphere and their team has been and continues to be fantastic. We keep throwing new projects at them, and they keep knocking them out of the park (including the rescue of a project that was previously bungled by another vendor).

Sphere Partners
Ben Crawford Senior Product Manager at Enova Financial

I would expect to be delighted. It’s been a really positive experience, working with Sphere, and I would expect you to have the same.

Sphere Partners
Mark Friedgan CEO at CreditNinja

Sphere consistently prioritizes the needs of their clients, demonstrating both agility and teamwork. They bring innovative and well-considered solutions, consistently surpassing my expectations.

Sphere Partners
René Pfitzner Co-Founder at Experify

Sphere provided excellent full-stack development manpower to augment our team and work with us.

Sphere Partners
Bruce Burdick Chief Information Officer at Integra Credit

We've been working with Sphere and its excellent consultants since our founding. Their combination of offshore talent, pricing, and shift offsetting is hard to beat. They provide crucial augmentation to our in-house team. We simply couldn't achieve our production ambitions without their service.

Sphere Partners
Jemal Swoboda CEO at Dabble

The resources and developers that Sphere Software provides are skilled and have the required technical expertise to complete their tasks successfully, with the team easily scaled in either direction. The deliverables are always high-quality.

Sphere Partners
Arthur Tretyak Founder and CEO at IntegraCredit

With Sphere, we were able to migrate in half the time it would take to train an additional FTE…

Sphere Partners
Lee Ebreo VP of Engineering at Credit Ninja

These things would not have been achievable if we did not build our own in-house system. We augmented our development team capabilities using Sphere’s developer, who works very well with our Dev Lead in Chicago. Sphere’s developer was an expert in the new system, and continues to be an expert as we evolve it.

Frequently asked question

Amazon Sidewalk is a shared low-bandwidth wireless network designed to connect compatible IoT devices across broad areas. For cities, it creates a way to deploy distributed sensors without first funding and building a separate private gateway network, which helps accelerate rollout and reduce upfront infrastructure cost.

Traditional smart city deployments often start with network buildout, hardware integration, and long procurement cycles. Sphere’s approach uses Amazon Sidewalk as the connectivity layer and AWS as the cloud backbone, so cities can focus on use cases, sensor coverage, and operational outcomes instead of standing up a private network from scratch.

This solution is designed to use Amazon Sidewalk rather than a city-owned gateway network. That removes a major capital and operational burden and makes it easier to launch pilots or targeted rollouts quickly.

The platform is built to support a wide range of low-power urban sensing use cases, including air quality, noise, traffic flow, parking occupancy, flood indicators, utility anomaly detection, and public space monitoring. The exact sensor mix depends on the city’s priorities, deployment zones, and integration requirements.

Sphere’s solution is designed to connect with existing GIS platforms, 311 systems, dispatch workflows, and other municipal applications through APIs. That means cities can extend what they already use instead of replacing core systems.

he architecture is intended to support public-sector security requirements through AWS-based controls, logging, access management, and compliance-oriented design. Final compliance posture depends on the city’s required standards, data types, hosting model, and implementation scope.

ROI depends on the use cases selected and the city’s baseline costs. The strongest returns usually come from operational efficiency, faster response, avoided infrastructure spend, utility optimization, and earlier detection of issues such as leaks, congestion, or environmental events.
