Technology to fight COVID19
As the world faces the COVID19 pandemic, L&T’s Smart World & Communication business is leveraging technology to help fight it. The business has rolled out smart technology solutions in more than 20 major cities across India, to help city administrations in tracking patients, containing spread, monitoring quarantined people, controlling crowding by police personnel, disseminating public services messages and establishing rule of law in the current pandemic scenario. We have partnered with municipal and police agencies of various cities to set up technology interventions and manage Command & Control Centres / City Operations Centres across India.
