In practice, making existing cities smart is proving hard. Many different stakeholders need to be involved, while sensors, controls and connectivity can be difficult to install in dense urban environments. In response, some cities are now experimenting with low cost, low power Internet of Things technologies that could usher in a new wave of smart city applications. In the medium-term, 5G technologies are also promising to give municipalities access to ultra-reliable, low latency bandwidth. Is the smart city era finally upon us? Check out this editorial report from RCR Wireless to find out.
Everything we do, from wireless platforms to IoT and beyond, is designed around partnership. Find out how InterDigital is Creating the Living Network. Together. in this MWC18 presentation.
We consider the problem of identifying people on the basis of their walk (gait) pattern. Classical approaches to tackle this problem are based on, e.g., video recordings or piezoelectric sensors embedded in the floor. In this work, we rely on acoustic and vibration measurements, obtained from a microphone and a...
Smart city technologies could save enterprises, governments and citizens globally over US $5 trillion annually by 2022. This is the conclusion reached by ABI Research in this new white paper, which analyzes the scope for cost savings and efficiency as a driver for smart city deployments, smart technologies and the...
