Do you want to build something for a smart city? Are you working to make your campus smart? Are you building a new corporate park with smart solutions? You are looking for technology to save your city, campus, or corporate park. While it would be wonderful to plan a smart city from scratch, it’s not the reality. If you intend to improve the existing city infrastructure, (no easy task), then this book will help you develop smart city initiatives. Develop a plan using this as guidance and reference.

Smart technology is here now!

Helping you understand smart city technology. Improve planning for smart tech. Save time!

I did the research so you have a head start. Your teams will have it all in one place, easy to reach. 

Save time and learn fast.

We struggle figuring out what is possible. I noticed that every city and campus and corporate park has different smart applications needing a specific solution, but do you know how to get there? Maybe you don’t know what has been done, really been done. Read this to get started.

Smart City Questions:

Learn this!

What is a Smart City?

How do you plan the Smart City infrastructure?

Where do you start when developing the smart city?

What planning is involved?

Whom should I partner with?

What about permitting, rent, acquisition, construction planning?

Whom should we work with? Learn all this and more from case studies and deployment planning. The rest is up to you!

WHY?

Have you been trying to figure out what smart city services are needed? How to get them? Maybe you know what you want, in many cases its broadband. Maybe you think it would help to have a competitor for the local cable company for broadband access. Maybe its cost effective connectivity. How do you get there? I had the same problem working with cities and it really helps to look at what others have done. Then you can come up with a plan. That’s why this book will help you.

Many cities fall prey to the large OEMs because they come in and offer a specific solution which the city may or may not want. So they go with it, or they run demos thinking that this is something that the people want. The people generally tell you what they want, if you’re listening. Don’t forget small business and large business for that matter, what do they really want? How do you get there? What has been done? I’m here to help!

Figure out your foundation, your assets, how to monetize and what you can use for your foundation, it could really help you now by knowing and planning, not guessing or assuming. Let’s work together!

This book is here for you to plan your path to deploying technology in your city for your purpose. Not only that but what assets do you have that you can use or even better yet, make money on. Wouldn’t it be nice if the city could find a way to create revenue streams off what they have? Remember that you don’t need to be tied to a large company to make money from your assets. In fact, do you even know what your assets are? You should figure it out ASAP! Again, this book will help you figure that out, and it will guide you to getting the help that won’t take you down a path you don’t want to do.

Showing you what has been done and what can be done. There is help for you. This is a guide to get started. It will help you see what’s been done and what’s possible. Let me help, take some time and learn all you can. Make informed decisions about how to deploy and learn from what’s been done. Understand why they did what they did. Understand how to get where you want to go.

I’ll explain more but here is how you can get it!

This is all covered, with case studies, plenty of links for you to reference and PDFs to download. It’s more than this book, it bigger than that, it’s providing you models and solutions.

Are you ready to build your smart city? Do you have the budget? The infrastructure? Why don’t you make sure? This book will help you and your teams!

The Smart City Tech Planning Handbook is broken into 3 general sections.

  • It provides case studies to show you what has been done in other cities around the world as well as what larger OEMs envision can be done. This is to provide you with real world case studies as well as concepts to get your idea flowing for your city. It also shows you it can be done, it’s not pie in the sky but real solutions to real problems where technology provides the solutions!
  • We discuss the technology that is out there and available. It is a good idea for you to learn what is real and what is coming. In today’s world, the technology and spectrum can determine what can be done and what is 10 years out. Luckily, things move fast today. The only real limitation is getting past the limitations that people, and governments, impose not themselves.
  • What is the foundation of smart city technology? While the technology really matters, what good is it if you can’t roll it out. These things need to happen in steps or phases. Providing a foundation is key to your smart city dream becoming a reality. Use this as a guide to building it the way that you would like to see it.
