Cities are seeing unprecedented growth, bringing major challenges as they seek to remain sustainable, healthy and safe places for people to live and work.

The Internet of Things (IoT) offers new opportunities for cities to use data to manage traffic, cut pollution, make better use of infrastructure and keep citizens safe.

To help cities make the most of the digital opportunities, Nokia has launched “IoT for Smart Cities”, a fully integrated modular and scalable framework to efficiently deliver and manage smart city services . This enables operators and master systems integrators (MSI’s) to take advantage of unified smart city management, while unlocking new revenue streams by rapidly launching new smart city services addressing city council needs. The ‘fully integrated’ approach fulfils the vital requirement of a connected landscape that is shared, secure and scalable – where every ‘thing’ can talk to each other to make tomorrow’s cities smart, safe and sustainable.

Nokia’s Integrated Operations Center (IOC) orchestrates all smart city operations for enhanced efficiency, faster responsiveness and improved decision making . Tailor-made, modular end to end solutions combine finely tuned elements across connectivity, platforms, analytics, applications, devices, subsystems and security layers, ensuring the right mix for each city’s needs.
