Your Network's Edge®
Summary Bullets:
While the public sector and government communication solutions aren’t usually considered the most advanced technology vertical, until recently it accounted for more Internet of Things (IoT) deployments than any other. Much of that activity has been focused on the smart city, where local governments—and their contracted agencies—have sought to use connectivity to monitor, track, or control city assets, with an overall goal of providing citizens with more efficient services.
Such multifunctional solutions for supporting LoRaWAN networks can be used for more than just standalone projects like parking or waste management. Increasingly, cities are approaching digitalization of public services and infrastructure in a more integrated way. In India, the Jamshedpur Utility Services Company has aggregated more than 100,000 sensors to integrate multiple data sources into a single Smart City Command Center. With a range of networked devices including street lights, utilities and parking meters, the enhanced insights gained help reduce the city’s energy use, increase efficiency for waste management, and make construction zones safer, among other benefits (including monetizing new services). It’s an approach other cities are taking more frequently as low power networks like LoRaWAN prove their advantages in cost and reach when it comes to supporting large scale projects for multiple functions, device types, or citizen services.
GlobalData is one of the largest data and insights solution providers in the world.
5G, with its high bandwidth and low latency, is revolutionizing Ethernet (Layer 2) services and expanding business connectivity. Service providers can leverage 5G to extend coverage and offer reliable backup solutions, especially where fiber is limited.
The internet of things (IoT) has taken the business world by storm and is reshaping the way enterprises work. The evidence is clear, whether you’re a retailer using smart shelves for efficient inventory management or a healthcare provider employing it for remote patient care, IoT is assisting businesses in becoming more productive.
In the rapidly evolving telecommunications landscape, the challenge of expanding network capacity without trenching new fibers has sparked the emergence of BiDi transceivers as a transformative solution. Find out how to ensure a future-ready infrastructure that meets the demands of tomorrow's digital landscape.
