Real-time inputs and integrated solutions

Put, the more data, the better the insights. Smart cities can only operate using the data they capture and record, so widespread sensors are crucial. What’s more, a platform is needed to compile these data points, run the analysis and deliver actionable outputs to decision-makers. Future predictions, preventative action, and real-time delivery of services will become possible only if the technological base to perform such analysis is in place.

Utilizing the cloud to manage data and services

Given the enormous volumes of data produced by smart cities, solutions that can scale rapidly are crucial. Cloud computing already allows greater accessibility and scalability for the delivery of services, and its capability to provide the processing power needed to analyze an entire city will only fuel its rapid and widespread adoption further.

Cybersecurity confidence and control

Without appropriate security, a smart city is a sitting duck. As the points of entry into the broader network expand, planners must ensure that the highest security standards protect personal data, critical applications, and essential services.

Enabling networks

Connecting such a vast array of sensors requires oversight of the entire communication infrastructure, allowing applications as disparate as traffic monitoring, home security, and energy consumption to be processed simultaneously. Technological solutions to this problem will vary from fiber optics to short-range communication systems such as Bluetooth LE, RFID, ZigBee, and more. Understanding of all these technologies and the skill
to integrate them will be a limiting factor in the success of any smart city network.
Increased Government collaboration

Unified oversight of residents, services, information, and knowledge will ultimately break down walls between separate functions. To realize the benefits of collaboration – such as innovation, understanding, and improved decision-making – digital transformation must be made a priority.

Greater citizen engagement

For collecting feedback on conditions in real-time or receiving reports on social issues such as crime, the development of multiple channels for transparent and timely engagement with citizens is a crucial step. Importantly, mobile-optimized solutions will have a pivotal part to play – which means enabling collaboration channels is a prerequisite for any technology partner or provider.

Unified collaboration solutions

Connecting citizens to smart city solutions

The goal of building a smart city is to use urban informatics and technology to improve the efficiency of services and satisfy the needs of its citizens. Therefore, hosted contact center solutions are needed to deliver next-generation customer experience from the City Control Centre directly to the citizens.

Tata Communications provides a Unified Collaboration solution that improves efficiencies and lowers operating expenditure by connecting teams across the city through a single solution – offering modular, pre-integrated contact center applications, hosting, data connectivity, and voice minutes. Tata has implemented our solution to manage contact center requirements worldwide, across multiple delivery centers and with consistent customer experience.
