Smart City Foundations
The importance of the transport layer for Smart Cities and IoT
Introduction – Adam Davis

• Housekeeping– I am not the technical guru (we have staff that are)
– I say “Umm” a lot
– I may swear
– If my voice gets to monotone, feel free to snore
Relevant Projects
• Sunshine Coast Smart City Principles
• SunCentral Smart City Gigabit Free Public WiFi
• Sunshine Coast Council Smart City Fibre Network
• edgeDC Data Centre D&C
• Telstra BigAir Project, Fibre and Wireless
• Townsville Council Smart City Data Centre Cost modelling
Enough Already
• Lets get the Elephant in the room out of the way
• The word Smart has to be the most overused (and soon to be most despised word in technology today)
• Todays presentation is no different I am sorry! You can boo now.
• But why is this relevant?
Smart City: So were we dumb before?
• The push toward smart cities and digitalstrategies is (should be) for onepurpose:
– To use data to enable smarterdecisions and enhance the lives ofthe people in the region
• Currently overlooked and we see tomany hidden agendas withmanufacturers and consultants (ofcourse not this one!)
• The ability to innovate by using thisinformation is transforming business,government and communities
THE WORLDS POPULATION IS SET TO INCREASE
BY 33% BEFORE 2050
70% OF THOSE PEOPLE LIVING IN URBAN
ENVIRONMENTS
Hype vs Reality
Why Smart and why now?
• Why are we doing this?
• What are the benefits?
• What are the long term affects?
• Who will suffer?
• Who will benefit?Prediction by Bosch Global
The Human factor
• The human interaction with technology is the most important consideration
• How we do we connect, and what is the user experience?
• What do we expect from a Smart technology?
What is “Smart”
• The world has over 500 cities with 1M + People
• China alone will have 221 cities with 1M+ by 2025
– So the ability to make informed decisions around:
– Infrastructure
– Transport
– Logistics
– Buildings– And much more…

What do all Smart Technologies need?
• Connectivity

The Architecture
• A foundation Layer Approach
The Growth of Wireless
• The growth and importance of Wireless is massive

Wireless Technology Trends
• New Wireless technologies emerging
– IEEE P802.11ac
• Becoming prevalent
– Ingenu RPMA
– nWave
– SigFox
– Weightless SIG
– EnOcean
– Wireless HART,
– DASH7
– MyriaNed
– 6LoWPAN
– ZigBi Bluetooth
Wireless in the Real World
• IoT and Mobile are driving wireless connectivity
• The network is becoming a Distributed topology
• Even though many are low data rate, they are low latency dependant as well
Wiring Wireless
• 802.11ac 5GHz transmit freq is becoming the standard
– User speeds up to 1.3Gb/s
– Min Cat 6A Required
– Min 10Gb/s capable balanced twisted pair cable
– PoE + requirements
Smart Poles
• Smart Poles are in fast take up
• Can house:
– Smart Lights
– CCTV
– IoT Gateway
– Sensors
– WiFi
– PA
– etc
Integration and Convergence
• So many devices
• Differing protocols and modalities
• Differing transmission types
• Differing communications types

The Edge
• Sensors and Actuators
• Smart Devices
• Cars
• People
• Ubiquitous connectivity
Latency @ the Edge
• This one word is the key driver for edge compute
• Currently, the majority of Internet of Things devices rely on cellular networks.
• The vast amount of data on these networks slows the rate at which it is processed.
• The Data Centre market will change
• Micro DC’s will finally become a thing
• Distributed compute
• Cloud at the edge
What Role does Data play?
• To garner the correct data is one problem The ability to usefully translate this data is another
• Ownership of data
• Access to the data
• Speed at which the data can be sourced, analysed and used
• Gartner predict 25.1 Billion Live IoT Endpoints in the next few years
The issues
• Funding, or lack there of
• C Level buy in, justifying the spend for the saving
• Prioritising
• This is where the foundation layer and Data Centres come in
• Implementation and Execution
• Ownership: IT vs OT
Optimising
• Changing Environment
• Changing Architecture
• Large Scale device growth
IT IoT
User Human Machine
Architecture Static Architecture Dynamic
Flexibility Fairly Flexible Mostly Static
Understanding Ability to scale well understood We are still learning
Ownership Total Unknown and point of contention
Security High Unknown and point of contention

EaaS - Everything as a Service
Yep couldn't resist.
• Everything is moving to as an aaS model
• Transport, metering, infrastructure
• The major user advantage is “evergreen solutions”
• The major vendor advantage is an ongoing revenue stream and clients that are closely aligned
• Creates better solutions through user input
The Criteria
• Have a policy for the plan
• Smart City Principles
• Don’t do technology forTechnology sake!
• Use technologies thatwill impact the keyregional drivers
What does the future Hold
• Behaviour analytics
• Smart Infrastructure
• Energy management transformation
• Smart homes etc, however
Summary
• Shields predicts that the sensor market will be over $5T over the next 5 years
• The need for more connectivity and edge compute has only just begun
• The need for more and more foundation layer infrastructure will continue
