Public WiFi for Smart Cities
Smart Cities are a combination of the following :
| Smart mobility (traffic management, bike/car/van sharing, multimodal transport, road conditioning monitoring, parking system, route planning, electric car gearing services) | |
| Smart grid/energy (power generation/distribution/storage, energy management, smart metering, street lightening optimization) | |
| Public safety (video/radar/satellite surveillance, environmental and territorial monitoring, children protection—e.g. safer home-school journeys for children, emergency solutions, waste management, smart air quality, weather data for snow cleaning) | |
| Smart governance (transparent decisional process, a greater involvement of citizens in legislative initiatives, public-private partnerships, online taxing systems) | |
| Smart economy (high-level jobs, competitiveness, entrepreneurial spirit, innovation and research in the field) | |
| Smart life (cultural and educational facilities, meaningful events, entertainment and guided tours, access to cultural sights and historical monuments, good conditions for health) |
Imagine the amount of devices and computer networks that will be required to operate one Smart City
Imagine the dangers of hacking and Cyber Terrorism on such future ready systems
In recent years, the fulfilment of these goals depends more and more on technology, especially ICT. In consequence, one of the essential nuances of the term “smart city” is given by the ICT incorporation in urban infrastructure, with solutions as city operating systems, centralized control rooms, urban dashboards, intelligent transport systems, integrated travel ticketing, bike share schemes, real-time passenger information displays, logistics management systems, smart energy grids, controllable lighting, smart meters, sensor networks, building management systems, various smartphone apps and sharing economy platforms, etc.
Protection is important for the important for these systems…That is where the importance of companies like ZENCC is necessary
