The modern smart city concept is essentially about transmitting data using wireless technology and the cloud. This includes Cloud-based IoT applications that receive, analyze, and manage data in real-time to help government organizations and citizens make better decisions that improve quality of life. Smart city concepts clearly prove that communities can improve energy distribution, streamline trash collection, decrease traffic congestion, and improve air quality with help from the IoT and cloud. Creating a connected ecosystem with cloud and IoT also enables devices including traffic lights to connected cars and parking systems to work in seamless coordination. On a deeper note, the first building block of any smart city application is reliable and pervasive wireless connectivity. These technologies include LTE, Bluetooth, and 5G technology. As technology evolves and smart city adoption increases, IT giants are also increasing their focus on smart city solutions. This includes IoT devices and cloud-based solutions from tech giants such as Google and Amazon. In this edition of Enterprise Viewpoint Magazine, we’ve included some leading smart city solution providers. We’ve also added a variety of solutions as well as inputs from some of the top industry leaders. We hope this edition adds value to your smart city initiatives.
