To be in the know, you need to get in the loop The connectivity cycle Always-on connectivity can help turn an urban area into a smart city and an automated factory into a productivity powerhouse. Yet it's only when you create a seamless cycle of connections across your environment that you can collect, analyse and learn from the data being generated. Turning this raw data into valuable intelligence is the foundation of any smart environment, as you can adapt while you evolve - making ongoing improvements that meet multiple challenges. This has huge benefits for the public and employees,...

Smart city surveillance From video monitoring to better public services Smart cities are designed to be efficient and effective for everyone. For the public, it’s all about having access to high-quality services and an infrastructure that doesn’t slow them down or put them at risk. For government, it’s the opportunity to monitor, manage and control everything from access routes into the city to public areas and environmental health. They are all interlinked – so having smarter ways to monitor roads leads to faster awareness and resolution of traffic situations, which helps to reduce...

Smart city surveillance Close the loop with video Video surveillance is the ideal starting point. On one level, it gives you a constant view of the city environment, so you can monitor situations. On a whole other level, you can use the same data – and extend it – to drive longer-term plans and policies for your smart city. You need to be able to connect the video feed to the systems where the footage can be stored and analysed. Then, you can start to build a picture of current events and match this data against previous scenarios and One seamless network influencing factors. This will...

Universal outdoor wireless From city-wide access to tailored experiences For the connected population, Wi-Fi coverage is now an expectation as citizens and remote workers want full-time access to content and services on their mobile devices. We’ve moved beyond on-premise Wi-Fi hotspots. Today, wireless coverage needs to be universal – providing seamless connectivity in outdoor locations across every town and city. You can build outdoor wireless into your existing infrastructure or introduce connected elements as part of your smart city initiative. Outdoor wireless access points can be...

Universal outdoor wireless Make data flow a two-way street By creating one seamless network, you can provide uninterrupted outdoor Wi-Fi across your town or city – and personalise information for your connected citizens and visitors. As long as they allow notifications and location data on their devices, you can use the same network to target them with useful messages based on where they are. This gives you the option to monetise your public Wi-Fi through location-based advertising, share public service announcements about local travel updates and upcoming events, and introduce visitors to...

Factory automation As factories become more automated, the expectation is that this will lead to a more streamlined and efficient manufacturing process. There's no question that machines and robots have changed the face of industry, due to their capacity for higher volume productivity with precision. However, if there is a lack of transparency between the machines and management systems, there can also be unpredictability. Connecting the factory to the office is what turns machine data into end-to-end operational visibility. It removes the silos that can exist between different lines,...

Factory automation With factory automation becoming the norm, advanced insight is needed to support growth. Standard communications will need to evolve into real-time information flows that provide timing guarantees for mission-critical applications. Fluctuating market demands will call for increased agility, and greater interconnectivity will be a necessity. By integrating data from connected operations and systems on one seamless network, you can increase flexibility and adaptability. Analysing machines in line with product orders, maintenance logs, expected production levels and...

Predict the future Unifying your networks and live data streams into one secure, reliable network brings your smart environment together. Your city or factory is connected to your control centre or office – and because they can communicate in real-time, any immediate challenges can be met. Yet, having this level of visibility goes far beyond short-term goals. Every piece of data is part of a bigger picture that, when analysed, can provide the answer to longer-term initiatives and have a wider impact on your urban or industrial development. With the right connectivity in place, you can turn...
