Developed cities around the world are actively launching sma rt solutions\, while new and emerging cities are integrating intelligent\, connected systems from the start. The big cities of today may not be thos e of tomorrow. The opportunities are immense—across infrastructure\, mob ility\, energy\, healthcare and beyond. Innovative technology applications and their adoption in society offer a turning point. At its core\, the sm art city is about people and improving the quality of our everyday lives. The COVID-19 pandemic has revealed some of the shortcomings of major citie s in times of crisis.\n\nThe talk will cover the following areas:\n\nIntro : Current state and challenges of Smart Cities\n\n- Disruptive technologie s enable building solid foundation for smart cities - highlights of curren t and future of IoT\, 5G/6G\, Analytics (AI/ML/DP) across key markets\n- K ey examples – technology convergence & adoption in new use cases in key verticals such as smart homes\, public safety\, autonomous driving\, healt hcare\, smart energy and others.\n- Covid-19 accelerate return to new norm with greater innovation\, and end-to-end services\n\nConclusion: Adoption of disruptive technologies and acceleration to a new norm that will help transition to smart societies.\n\nKey Takeaways\n\n- Understanding the mis sion of smart cities and current situation of 50 worldwide top smart citie s and impact from Coronavirus Covid-19\n- Technology Features overview and roadmap of 4G/5G/6G\, IoT and AI\n- Sample use cases and power of virtual ization and network slicing\n\nBIOGRAPHY of M.
