The City of the Future | @ExpoDX #AI #IoT #IIoT #API #FinTech #SmartCities

The connected city will create incredible demand for new and innovative connectivity and smart device technology

Our cities have been connected since the dawn of urbanization in the Indus Valley and on the plains of Mesopotamia nearly ten millennia ago. Cities exist to gather and connect people, bringing us together into communities and joint ventures that need complex networks of communication.

But in recent years the connected city has come to mean something more. Today and in the future, the connected city will not just be about people connecting with people, but people with machines, people with people via machines, and perhaps most importantly, machines with machines.

Today's cities use connectivity technologies in many ways. Smart adaptive traffic management is used to change the behavior of traffic lights in response to traffic flow. Parking sensors reduce congestion and pollution by detecting parking space availability and directing drivers to open spots. Trash cans share their status with local authorities who can efficiently schedule pickups. Smart meters and grids are changing the way we think about energy use.

The modern connected city is the product of a perfect storm of technological innovation in sensor technology and minimization, data analytics and cloud computing, mobile devices, and wireless and wired communication.

We all carry mobile connected devices, but as wireless technologies, including 5g, and significantly improved fiber technologies become ubiquitous, the amount of data that can be communicated across our cities will multiply, enabling ultra-reliable high-bandwidth communications capable of supporting innovative new applications. Buildings, city services, and transportation will be connected with their own components, with the people that inhabit and use them, and with each other.

The connected city is part of the Internet of Things: the drive to put smarts into previously inert and unconnected objects. We're all familiar with driverless cars and speakers that can order our shopping, but fewer consider the way the same technology is changing our cities.

When sensors are everywhere and every sensor is connected, we can build a picture of the world with near complete knowledge. That knowledge allows a city's services to predict needs, react to changes, and plan with improved efficiency.

Improved telecoms, computing, and sensor technology will have an immense impact on our cities and how we spend our work and leisure hours. The evolving connected city creates incredible opportunities for startups and established businesses alike, if they have the technical expertise necessary to contribute to new markets in smart technology.

Companies involved in the telecoms and broadband sector are well placed to get ahead of the curve where smart cities and the broader Internet of Things are concerned. Now is the time to begin cultivating the technical expertise in emerging technologies and standards and to hire executives with the vision and experience to take a lead on research and product development to serve the rapidly growing market for urban connectivity and communications solutions.

Cloud computing is now being embraced by a majority of enterprises of all sizes. Yesterday's debate about public vs. private has transformed into the reality of hybrid cloud: a recent survey shows that 74% of enterprises have a hybrid cloud strategy. Meanwhile, 94% of enterprises are using some form of XaaS - software, platform, and infrastructure as a service.

With major technology companies and startups seriously embracing Cloud strategies, now is the perfect time to attend and learn what is going on, contribute to the discussions, and ensure that your enterprise is on the right path to Digital Transformation.

Every Global 2000 enterprise in the world is now integrating cloud computing in some form into its IT development and operations. Midsize and small businesses are also migrating to the cloud in increasing numbers.
