Smart City and Infrastructure

Digital technology, data, and connected devices are transforming the way cities operate by enabling the optimization of various urban services and infrastructure. At the heart of this transformation is the concept of the Smart City, which integrates Internet of Things (IoT)-driven devices such as smart streetlights, parking sensors, and waste management systems. These technologies work together to enhance public services and environmental monitoring, creating a more efficient and sustainable urban environment. To support this complex infrastructure, cities require flexible and reliable connectivity solutions capable of handling a broad spectrum of applications — ranging from electric vehicles and robotics to data centers. The demand for seamless communication between devices and systems is critical to ensuring that smart city technologies function effectively and deliver tangible benefits to residents.
