Wireless Infrastructure as the Foundation of Smart Cities and Communities

May 22, 2018

More than 80 percent of North Americans live in urban areas and are increasingly concentrating in mid-sized and large cities. This trend is expected to continue as economic forces, industry drivers and other factors drive people toward urban areas.1 Faced with increased populations, cities are challenged to create more efficient ways to deal with the impact of this growth while being sensitive to environmental, economic and quality of-life issues. Connectivity and bandwidth are fueling a new Gigabyte economy that will rely on smart services. Wireless and fiber-optics are key enablers of that connectivity and will play essential roles in creating smart communities.
