The rise of the smart home is one way that the IoT is changing things for people around the world – homes filled with devices that can communicate with one another, with people living in the home, and even with outside third parties . However, this technology is not constrained just to our homes. It’s growing in terms of both scope and capabilities. Enter the smart city, where the Internet of Things will impact everything from lighting to the flow of traffic through urban centers.
A smart city brings together technology, government and society to enable a smart economy, smart mobility, a smart environment, smart people, smart living and smart governance.”
We need to turn to actual use cases to determine what defines a smart city. There are quite a few ways in which this sort of technology is being utilized today around the globe.
Smart Cities and Communities
Developments have traditionally addressed issues in Silos, Every community department makes investments independently resulting in, no sharing of infrastructure and resources, no sharing of intelligence/information, excess of investment and duplication of effort, difficulty in scaling infrastructure management.
Smart Buildings
We are reaching a new age when it comes to building construction. No longer is it simply enough for our homes and offices to provide shelter and keep us warm. Today, thanks to the evolution of technology, it’s possible to not only deliver all the services that occupants need but this can be done while making the building as efficient as possible, minimizing costs and reducing the environmental impact of the building over its life.
