Cities , hospitals , universities , and businesses of all types currently face a decision to either modernize existing infrastructure with an overlay of new IoT equipment or rip and replace existing equipment in its entirety . In these situations , many managers seek creative ways to extend the life of what they have already deployed while also trying to be forward compatible with future platforms .
Balancing the needs of the teams responsible for building , owning , and operating infrastructure such as IT , facilities , networking , and security is a delicate task filled with technical and financial challenges .
In these environments , flexible solutions to remotely monitor and manage remote , unstaffed facilities and a layer of onsite infrastructure sensor intelligence are needed .
INTRODUCTION
The world appears to be on a long-term path toward mass urbanization . Most outlooks , including that of the United Nations , predict that by 2030 more than 50 % of the world ’ s population will live in cities .
Given that , many cities have declared that they will become " smart cities " that seek to improve citizens ' quality of life through increased digitalization of services and open access to data .
Data and regulation will be used to make these smart cities greener and safer . ◊
