Smart Cities: What It Is And Why

It's Important To Understand

What if every person has two connected devices on their person? And, let's assume maybe that each person is driving in a car with the ability to talk to the sensors imbedded in the road, and the traffic lights... and the digital advertising boards. Now, imagine that person is driving through a downtown area of a major city with 4 million other people and all those people are using those same devises at the same time. Just imagine the amount of digital "traffic" running across the infrastructure. As our need for connection grows, and the price for connective devices decreases, that digital traffic is expected to grow exponentially in the very near future. How are cities preparing for this new era of digital connectivity? To hear the answer to this question and more, please join us for our meeting on August 26th.
