The concept of a Smart City is focused on cities leading with technological innovation, while engaging and connecting with their economic, environmental and community health. The general goal is to collect actionable data, analyze it, and use that information to make cities more efficient, cost-effective, safe, and healthy.

The data collected within Smart Cities involves governments, enterprises, and industrial sectors, and can include many types of sensing. These include asset tracking, traffic monitoring, water management, utility meter reading (gas, water, electricity), environmental (lighting, water, air quality), and more.

Virtually limitless amounts of information can be collected in today’s smart cities.
