The internet of things is here. And with 5G network infrastructure as its backbone, it’s making the places and processes that guide our lives smarter, safer, and better. Smart technologies can turn a city streetscape or a factory floor into a place where devices improve everyday life. The key is the software supporting those devices, from the networks that link them to the platforms that empower them.

In smart cities, stoplights see traffic and tweak cycles to keep commuters moving or give priority to emergency vehicles. Buses monitor their own health and send automated maintenance alerts. Sensors identify threats to water and air quality early. By working with partners like FIWARE and NVIDIA, we build interoperable solutions to connect the sensors, networks, and clouds that make up smart cities―regardless of who makes them.
