Terminus Group
A Paradigm Shift into Vibrant AI CITY

Victor Ai, Founder and CEO

Information and Communications Technology (ICT) has reached a stage where technology-enabling infrastructure can reshape the way we live, not just in terms of hardware, but also digital ecosystems and the software used within them. In the last 20 years, the world has witnessed the transformation of ICT through 2G, 3G, 4G, and now, 5G. Additionally, the combination of AI and IoT, AIoT, has opened avenues to create a network of devices that seamlessly communicate over 5G networks.

At this juncture of burgeoning ICT and AIoT technology, lies an arena that nurtures a new era of digitalized urbanization. Terminus Group is at the forefront of this industry. It is focused on using AIoT to build smart AI CITIES for the future where problems are solved efficiently, and decision-making processes are autonomous.

Established in 2015, Terminus Group has leveraged AIoT technologies to provide smart city solutions that help in building smarter communities, bolstering security, and enhancing residents’ experience. "Cities have become bigger and denser in an era of unprecedented urbanization. At the same time, large-scale mobile digital layers exist atop these dense environments. Combining these two trends to better understand cities will lead to an age of urban digitization, where residents, businesses, and governments gain insights into how cities function," describes Victor Ai, Founder and CEO of Terminus Group.

In building interconnected AI CITIES, Terminus Group has engineered software that promotes an OTA (Over The Air) city autonomous upgrade model. As the core idea behind Terminus Group's AI CITY strategy, the OTA technology allows for constant upgrades and remote modifications. "Just like with smartphones, apps/software can be downloaded and upgraded seamlessly using the OTA city structure," says VictorAi.

Using similar state-of-the-art AI technology, the company has achieved substantial milestones in digital services and smart city construction. Terminus Group has facilitated rapid technological progress and has diversified solutions such that intelligent cities can smoothen their operations in policymaking, industry upgrading, investments, and employment. The company integrates the solutions into one holistic, multi-purpose digital platform to help users upgrade their businesses. "Terminus AI CITY is akin to a large-scale smartphone. We integrate platforms with multifunctional tools and technologies. This is the leading project among numerous smart city projects across Mainland China," says VictorAi.

Terminus Group is the first and sole urban AIoT tech company practicing ground-breaking AI CITY worldwide so far. The revolutionary part of Terminus AI CITY is that the project covers an entire plethora of complex urban scenarios, including the digital management of smart communities, smart recycling and smart fire prevention.

To prioritize residents’ livelihood, TACOS (Terminus AI CITY Operating System) turns solving the city' problems into a more efficient and agile process, running the ecosystem to ensure the users’ quality experience, at the same time letting them enjoy the smart devices and the infrastructure behind it.

Terminus Group’s AI CITY is able to provide various digital solutions necessary for the city to operate in the field of smart recycling, smart housing, smart driving, smart fire prevention and other digital urban services. As one of the phenomenal cases, the T11 Food Market in Beijing demonstrates the prowess of Terminus Group's smart city solutions. The company's software is used by T11 to manage and sync the supermarket's end retail operations such as supply chain, stock replenishment, and retail situation. The digital integration system helps T11 gain a whole picture of consumers, stock, venues and orders, and offers correct expectations based on everyday actual business feedback.

Partnering with global companies that share the vision of creating vibrant, sustainable cities worldwide, Terminus Group continues to explore more possibilities for the future of AI CITIES. The collaboration with Dubai 2020 Expo opened up international markets for the company, paving the road for expansion into the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and more Western Countries. "More AI CITY projects will be launched around the world, and we will improve our capacities to match different local needs," states Victor Ai. Terminus' AI CITY strategy aims to combine innovative design and cutting-edge technologies while driving the development of next-generation cities and creating a new paradigm for urban construction and operation.
