Abstract
Today's cities are constantly balancing the need to provide valuable services to their communities, while at the same time face the demand to reduce the cost of operations and maintenance of their infrastructure. The future of the smart city is explicitly tied to having a community based, economically extendable network. These networks are critical for expanding safety and security solutions, enabling other community services as well as leveraging existing infrastructure to support energy efficiency initiatives. This paper discusses the value of a Smart City Solutions platform and the capabilities of such an integrated platform in achieving (1) Energy efficient, sustainable, net zero energy streetlight networks, (2) Self-fund smart city projects, (3) Enhance public safety, and (4) Strengthen municipal resilience.
