City & Infrastructure

Increasing levels of urbanisation are expected in the decades ahead as more of the worldwide population shifts away from living in rural environments. Next generation technology is needed to enable infrastructure to cope with the demands of city residents and address important issues such as pollution, traffic congestion, sustainability, or crime.

Technological advances, mainly relating to widespread IoT deployment, the roll-out of 5G networks and the distribution of power, will be pivotal in enhancing our future society. They will make it possible for citizens to lead more comfortable, safer and healthier lives. This will also allow available resources to be utilised with greater efficiency and keep down the operational costs faced by municipal bodies and utility companies.
