INTRODUCTION
SMART CITIES AREN’T JUST A CONCEPT OR A DREAM OF THE
FUTURE.
THANKS TO THE WILDLY INNOVATIVE INTERNET OF THINGS (IOT)
SOLUTIONS, MANY ARE ALREADY ACTIVE AND EXPANDING RAPIDLY.
MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENTS ARE LEVERAGING CELLULAR AND LOW
POWER WIDE AREA (LPWAN) WIRELESS TECHNOLOGIES TO
CONNECT AND IMPROVE INFRASTRUCTURE, EFFICIENCY,
CONVENIENCE, AND QUALITY OF LIFE FOR RESIDENTS AND
VISITORS ALIKE.
WHAT IS A SMART CITY?
• A smart city is a framework, predominantly composed of Information and Communication
Technologies (ICT), to develop, deploy, and promote sustainable development practices to address
growing urbanization challenges.
• A big part of this ICT framework is essentially an intelligent network of connected objects and
machines that transmit data using wireless technology and the cloud.
• Cloud-based IoT applications receive, analyze, and manage data in real-time to help
municipalities, enterprises, and citizens make better decisions that improve quality of life.
• Citizens engage with smart city ecosystems in a variety of ways using smartphones and mobile
devices, as well as connected cars and homes. Pairing devices and data with a city’s physical
infrastructure and services can cut costs and improve sustainability.
• Communities can improve energy distribution, streamline trash collection, decrease traffic
congestion, and even improve air quality with help from the IoT.
For instance,
• Connected traffic lights receive data from sensors
and cars adjusting light cadence and timing to
respond to real-time traffic, thereby reducing road
congestion.
• Connected cars can communicate with parking
meters and electric vehicle (EV) charging docks and
direct drivers to the nearest available spot.
• Smart garbage cans automatically send data to
waste management companies and schedule pick-
up as needed versus on a pre-planned schedule.
• And citizens’ smartphone becomes their mobile
driver’s license and ID card with digital credentials,
which speeds and simplifies access to the city and
local government services.
• Together, these smart city technologies are
optimizing infrastructure, mobility, public services,
and utilities.
WHY DO WE NEED SMART CITIES?
• Urbanization is a non-ending phenomenon.
• Today, 54% of people worldwide live in cities, a proportion that’s expected to reach 66% by
20501.
• Combined with the overall population growth, urbanization will add another 2.5 billion
people to cities over the next three decades2. Environmental, social, and economic
sustainability is a must to keep pace with this rapid expansion that is taxing our cities’
resources.
• 193 countries have agreed upon the agenda of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs),
in September 2015 at the United Nations. But we all know how centralized decisions and
actions can take time, and the clock is ticking.
• The good news?
• Citizens and local authorities are certainly more agile to launch swift initiatives, and smart city
technology is paramount to success and meeting these goals.
HOW IS IOT TECHNOLOGY MAKING CITIES
SMARTER AND BETTER?
Secure wireless connectivity and IoT technology are transforming traditional elements
of city life - like streetlights - into next-generation intelligent lighting platforms with
expanded capabilities.
• The scope includes integrating solar power and connecting to a cloud-based central
control system that connects to other assets in the ecosystem.
• These solutions shine far beyond simple lighting needs.
• High-power embedded LEDs alert commuters about traffic issues, provide severe
weather warnings, and provide heads up when environmental like fires arise.
• Streetlights can also detect free parking spaces and EV charging docks and alert
drivers where to find an open spot via a mobile app. Charging might even be able
from the lamppost itself in some locations!
WHAT MAKES SMART CITIES SUCCESSFUL?

In addition to people, dwellings, commerce, and traditional urban infrastructure,


there are four essential elements necessary for thriving smart cities:
1. Pervasive wireless connectivity
2. Open data
3. Security you can trust in
4. Flexible monetization schemes
WHAT’S THE BEST WIRELESS TECHNOLOGY FOR
SMART CITIES?
The first building block of any smart city application is reliable, pervasive wireless connectivity.
• While there’s no one-size-fits-all, evolving Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN)
technologies are well suited to most smart city applications for their cost efficiency and
ubiquity.
• These technologies include LTE Cat M, NB-IoT, LoRa, Bluetooth, and a few others that all
contribute to the fabric of connected cities.
• The advent of 5G technology is expected to be a watershed event that propels smart city
technology into the mainstream and accelerates new deployments.
• But only with a few more elements…
EXAMPLES OF SMART CITIES

New York • The New York City Department of Transportation's Midtown in Motion is
a congestion management system that has improved travel times on the
City avenues in Midtown by 10%

Amsterdam • Amsterdam is a shining example of a well-connected smart city that is


reaping the rewards of opening the data vault. The Smart City initiative
Smart City began in 2009 and included over 170 projets.

Copenhagen • Copenhagen is known as one of the smartest cities in the world and mobilizes
expertise worldwide.

Smart City • The city is leveraging open data in its collaboration with the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology (MIT) to develop an innovative smart bike system.
LTE-4 M NB-IOT LORA
CONCLUSION

• Smart Cities are the need of the century where


everyone’s interested in super fast progress and at
the same time there is a requirement that the
progress becomes sustainable. Thus smart city is the
ideal way in which a country progresses.
