## What the Panasonic and ANACITY MoU Covers

The stated aims are community safety and security, visitor management, access control, and convenience for residents and community management teams.

ANACITY, part of the Anarock Group, describes its configurable platform as a way for OEMs to connect hardware with the wider property experience.

Yoshiyuki Kato, CEO and Managing Director of Panasonic Life Solutions India, said: "The proof of concept will help us validate both the technical framework and the value delivered to customers before considering the next stage of the collaboration."

Masaaki Isoda, CTO and Managing Executive Officer of Panasonic Electric Works Corporation, said the services and system planned with ANACITY "can improve quality of life and provide a technology foundation for expansion from India into other markets worldwide."

Shajai Jacob, Managing Director and CEO of ANACITY, said: "By integrating Panasonic's IoT capabilities with ANACITY's mobile first community platform, we aim to connect access, security and community management for a more unified residential experience."
