Future proofing smart city data communication infrastrucure

Many municipalities are interested in investing in smart city infrastructure to monitor and manage resource consumption, traffic congestion, et cetera, and to add value to urban living through intelligent analysis of data gathered from sensor networks.  The technology that enables monitoring and management on urban scales is emerging.  One issue that is holding back many municipalities is the question of what infrastructure to embed in order to allow data communication for all the anticipated sensors that may be installed in the future.

 

What do you think is the best strategy that will future proof data communication infrastructure in a smart city context?

    From a systems engineering standpoint, I would focus on the protocol and then let the technology solve the speed and volume issues. When you implement the control network, plan to change the actual media…

    This is one of those issue that there is no good answer. I remember when we designed a lab for a network only to have the technology change to fiber optics before we could implement the project. No matter…

    Using and expanding existing infrastructure is wise decision, we are already in 4G era which is almost enough to implement smart city network. Providers should start to categorise their data only packages…

    Low power 5G networks and LPWAN can be good candidates as well. In the mean time LTE-M could be used in the transition/migration period.
