Industrial IoT brings machines, cloud computing, analytics, and people together to improve productivity and efficiency. With AWS IoT, industrial companies can understand the state of every thing, so you can reason on top of that data and you can truly solve your business problems. AWS IoT enables you to easily and securely connect and manage millions of devices. You can gather data from, run sophisticated analytics on, and take actions in real-time on your diverse fleet of IoT devices from edge to the cloud.

Two barriers currently exist to effective and powerful smart city solutions. First, many current smart city ICT deployments are based on custom systems that are not interoperable, portable across cities, extensible, or cost-effective. Second, a number of architectural design efforts are currently underway (e.g. ISO/IEC JTC1, IEC, IEEE, ITU and consortia) but have not yet converged, creating uncertainty among stakeholders. There is a lack of consensus on both a common language/taxonomy and smart city architectural principles.

Smart power consumption and energy efficiency are thus becoming keys for the success of these applications and 5G technology. To that extent, 5G New Radio (NR) has progressed swiftly. The new 3GPP™ release is designed to significantly improve the performance, flexibility, scalability, and efficiency of current mobile networks. Improved power saving features now allow IoT developers to get the most out of the available battery capacity. This could make all the difference for new IoT use cases and efficiencies.

The government has now confirmed that the UK will be implementing the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). To this end, Nominet has created an infographic based on the GDPR and Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO’s) Code of Practice on privacy notices, transparency and control [2] to serve as a guideline when developing IoT solutions.

If we take a look into the future, one thing is certain: cities become much smarter day after day. They are using information and communications technologies to enhance daily city life. There is an overwhelming trend toward introducing new smart services and opening up city data to improve quality of life for citizens – not to mention the many new business opportunities associated with this change. Safran Identity & Security is at the heart of this new era.
