Moreover, it is the people and their tech-savvy practices that have accelerated this shift of modern demography towards a technological powered and sustainable co-existence. Parallel to the massive rise in technology adoption across industries of all types, global leaders are infusing intelligent network connectivity and edge processing within their city infrastructure, energy, transportation, and buildings-- positioning an eye for the future. Along this wave, technologists and industry leaders are re-engineering the fabric of citywide connectivity with a focus on reducing pollution and CO2 emission, while increasing energy efficiency and operational savings. The boost to the smart city initiatives is driven by redefining the use of existing sensors and controls, and the vast amounts of data that comes with it. With IoT and cloud being the key enablers for smart infrastructure, smart technologies are experiencing an accelerated mass adoption owing to the lower setup costs and hardware requirements. Supporting this notion, MarketsandMarkets signals a projected growth in the global smart cities market size from USD 424.68 Billion in 2017 to USD 1,201.69 Billion by 2022, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 23.1 percent. Meanwhile, smart city strategists and urban planners are also intent on leveraging IoT technologies and utilizing data collected from various kinds of connected devices to optimize city operations holistically. In fact, by harnessing the power of technology, connected streetlights have already started creating a city-wide WAN, aimed at solving streetlamp connectivity issues but also lay its foundation for future smart city projects. This edition brings you some of the most prominent enterprises that specialises in smart city solutions and have excelled with their service and will be major drivers of the aforementioned trends to mainstream.Let us know your thoughts!EditorialA Step Towards Sustainable FutureCopyright © 2019 ValleyMedia, Inc.
