Smart , in the context of the city , is a fully connected , fully integrated and sustainable intelligent space capable of processing data from people , devices and systems with ease . Operationally , this relies on network connectivity to pull together the threads across buildings , assets , services and individuals . It is also the key to embedding security throughout any smart environment or city . The network is the nervous system of the Smart City , giving it the ability to connect across multiple touchpoints and reimagine citizen safety and wellbeing .
How ? The answer lies in the data created by the smart solutions and collated by the network . Important information , trends such as personnel , vehicles , facilities , alert incidents and task processing are all critical to ensuring that the government has the information it needs to enhance decision-making and manage resources . In addition , connectivity links systems provide comprehensive security through video surveillance and rich visibility . Here , the Smart City can transform citizen safety by implementing cameras throughout the city for surveillance and monitoring purposes so there are no security blind spots and decision-makers have access to real-time information that can protect and save lives .
