Amfeltec Powers Smart Cities with Advanced Hardware – A Canadian Innovation Story

Barcelona, Spain – October 30, 2025 – As cities worldwide race to embrace the Internet of Things and data-driven decision-making, the demand for robust, scalable hardware infrastructure is soaring. Amfeltec Corporation, a Canadian electronics engineering firm, is positioning itself as a key enabler of this urban transformation, showcasing its innovative solutions at the Smart City Expo World Congress 2025 in Barcelona, November 4-6.

Founded in 2005, Amfeltec designs and manufactures PCI Express Carrier boards, Expansion Backplanes, and Adapter Modules that underpin critical smart city applications – from real-time video analytics and wireless communication hubs to advanced IoT gateways. While many focus on the 'smart' in smart cities, Amfeltec quietly provides the essential 'muscle' ensuring these technologies function reliably and efficiently.

“There's a lot of talk about AI and data, but without the right hardware to capture, process, and transmit that information, these technologies remain theoretical,” explained a source familiar with Amfeltec's operations. “Amfeltec is focused on solving the hardware challenges that often get overlooked.”

Beyond the Hype: The Hardware Foundation of Smart Cities

The smart city market is projected to reach a staggering $3.6 trillion by 2025, fueled by a growing need for improved urban efficiency, sustainability, and citizen safety. However, this growth requires a massive overhaul of existing infrastructure. Cities are deploying sensors, cameras, and communication networks at an unprecedented rate, generating vast amounts of data. This data deluge requires powerful, reliable hardware to manage and process it in real-time.

Amfeltec’s products are designed specifically to address these challenges. Their PCI Express Carrier boards provide a flexible and scalable platform for integrating various sensors and communication modules. The Expansion Backplanes allow cities to easily add new functionalities and upgrade their systems. And their Adapter Modules provide a seamless interface between different hardware components.

“What sets Amfeltec apart is their ability to provide customized solutions that meet the unique needs of each city,” a source within the urban planning sector stated. “They don’t just sell off-the-shelf products; they work closely with their clients to design and manufacture solutions that are tailored to their specific requirements.”

Canadian Innovation in a Global Market

While the smart city market is dominated by large multinational corporations, Amfeltec is making a name for itself as a nimble and innovative player. The company has secured $15 million in funding since its inception, allowing it to invest in research and development and expand its product portfolio. Its active patent portfolio – including designs like the ‘Squid’, ‘Piranha’, and ‘AngelShark’ – demonstrates a commitment to intellectual property and technological leadership.

“Being a Canadian company gives us a unique advantage,” said a source close to Amfeltec’s leadership. “We have a highly skilled workforce and a strong tradition of innovation. We're also able to move quickly and adapt to changing market conditions.”

Amfeltec’s success is not only a testament to Canadian ingenuity but also a reminder that innovation can come from anywhere. The company is challenging the established players in the smart city market and proving that small and medium-sized enterprises can compete on a global scale.

Applications Driving Growth

The demand for Amfeltec’s hardware is being driven by a variety of smart city applications, including:

• Real-time Video Analytics: Amfeltec’s Carrier boards provide the processing power needed to analyze video streams from security cameras, traffic sensors, and other sources. This data can be used to detect crime, optimize traffic flow, and improve public safety.
• Wireless Communication Networks: Amfeltec’s Expansion Backplanes provide a scalable platform for deploying 5G and other wireless communication networks. This enables cities to provide high-speed internet access to residents and businesses.
• IoT Gateways: Amfeltec’s Adapter Modules provide a seamless interface between sensors, devices, and the cloud. This enables cities to collect and analyze data from a wide range of sources.
• Smart Transportation Systems: Integration of Amfeltec hardware supports intelligent traffic management, connected vehicles, and improved public transit.

Looking Ahead

As the smart city market continues to grow, Amfeltec is well-positioned to capitalize on the increasing demand for reliable and scalable hardware infrastructure. The company’s commitment to innovation, its strong patent portfolio, and its ability to provide customized solutions are key differentiators in a competitive market.

“Amfeltec isn’t just selling hardware; they’re enabling the future of urban living,” stated an industry analyst familiar with the company. “They’re providing the building blocks for a more connected, sustainable, and livable world.”

The company’s presence at the Smart City Expo World Congress 2025 is a clear signal of its ambition to become a global leader in the smart city hardware market. Attendees can expect to see a range of innovative solutions designed to address the challenges of building the cities of tomorrow.
