The conference was organised by the SMi Group with focus on initiatives to manage water more effectively by monitoring usage and distribution and detecting problem areas. 

Roberto Gavazzi, Senior Product Leader from Telecom Italia explained how ALMANAC achieves this by developing a service delivery platform which integrates a new data communication layer, a capillary network, for receiving and sending data from/to wireless sensors and devices, thus supporting smart city processes.

Deployment and demonstration of ALMANAC solutions will take place in existing experimental test-beds at Telecom Italia premises and in Turin water utility.
