A set of different perspectives on Smart Cities
Everything as a service? Or everything as a function?
Wireless network realities & considerations
Telecom operators: roles & innovation strategy
How voice & video fit in
Mobile data service models
Towards 5G

Technology capabilities & limitations are critical
considerations – but there needs to be as much focus on
design, organisational dynamics and “Intent & Purpose”

The need for enablers & APIs
• Big data & analytics
• Sensors & displays
• Coordination & orchestration
City Level
• 3G, 4G, 5G, WiFi, White-Space etc. availability & robustness
• New wholesale & operational/business models
• Security & identity
Network Level
• Cloud & virtualised functions
• Embedded communications – voice, video, interaction
• Context & “purpose” awareness
Web/App Level

Wireless networks are not a “solved” problem
Congestion
Indoor / black-spot coverage difficulties
Mobility & unpredictability
Power consumption
Security & privacy
Roaming (national & international)
Who owns & controls WiFi?
Who is the network operator for cellular? (MNC liberalisation)

5G must not just be another telco/vendor-defined technology. Other parties –
Cities, App/Internet players, Transport & other players need to be involved

Concluding thoughts & disruptions
End-goal of ambient & embedded “smartness”…
… but needs work on networks & enablers/APIs…
… & attention to design & organisational issues
Human-to-human comms evolving in parallel to M2M
Telcos have opportunities, but need to change culture
Regulators have much to think about
Final disruptive thought:
Will we see BYOSmartCity instead of planning?
