Key applications include smart traffic management, air quality monitoring, waste collection optimisation, and energy efficiency tracking across municipal buildings.

The company also manages Prague's free public Wi-Fi network, the city's IoT sensor infrastructure, and various citizen engagement digital tools.
The Smart Prague 2030 strategy, which Operátor ICT coordinates, encompasses six priority areas: smart mobility, smart buildings, smart energy, smart environment, smart tourism, and smart governance. Each area includes specific projects with measurable targets, creating a structured framework for Prague's smart city development.
Operátor ICT collaborates with technology companies, research institutions, and international smart city networks to identify and adapt innovative solutions for Prague's specific urban context. The company's role as a publicly owned technology integrator enables it to maintain focus on public benefit and data sovereignty while leveraging private sector innovation.
