ALMANAC organised a full day workshop in cooperation with TDC Denmark and Telecom Italia:

M2M Network Infrastructures for Massively Distributed Smart City Applications

The workshop took place on 30^th September 2015 in Smart City Copenhagen, Denmark

Smart City perspectives are plentiful
Sustainable urban development is recognised as a key challenge at a global level. The ‘Smart Cities’ model provides opportunities and challenges for cooperation on issues related to areas of energy, water, health, transport, environment, information and communication technologies.
When billions of devices will be deployed in the Smart City, data must be gathered and managed in an efficient way. Only a standard communication platform can enable the “many billions” of smart objects in a future smart city scenario. M2M (Machine to Machine) communication will be a core technology for the proper functioning of future smart cities.

About the Workshop
This workshop will focus on how the telecommunication industry can embrace the opportunities from M2M networks, matching the growing needs for smart city solutions in terms of connectivity and platforms for cost effective development of applications.
It will also focus on how the telecom operators can optimise their network solutions for massive smart city application deployment and how third party application developers can utilise the network platforms and tools to efficiently and cost-effectively develop valued-added smart city applications. The journey will take you from the discussion of core technologies and network solutions to business development issues, ending up with views from the users: The cities – what are the real needs?
