Smart City solutions from TE Connectivity

With the help of smart, connected technology, urban environments have the potential to become safer, cleaner, greener and altogether more pleasant places to live. 

An increasingly large percentage of nodes connected to the Internet enable diverse applications, monitoring:

• Indoor and outdoor air pollution
• Water quality and usage
• Lighting and noise levels
• Waste management
• Traffic congestion
• Parking availability
• Surveillance cameras

Additionally, 5G brings an exponential factor to their usage, and improved cellular connectivity will lead to further levels of innovation within the context of 'smart cities'.

The building blocks of these technologies include wireless connectivity, cloud infrastructure and AI monitoring, in addition to the hardware that is required to gather and transmit data. From a design perspective, applications such as intelligent street lighting, smart surveillance and smart metering face common challenges across their sensing and connectivity functions.
