All over IP: Smart City Conference, Business for Telcos

All over IP presents the Smart City Conference. Smart cities and the IoT are an engine for telcos and system integrators to improve their revenues. The biggest areas of promise are IT connectivity, VSaaS, public transport security, ITS, data centers, IoT platforms, city services based on RFID and biometrics.

Smart cities have been talked about for around 10 years now. A number of Russian cities in-cluding St. Petersburg, Ekaterinburg, Magas, Novosibirsk, etc. have officially moved towards being smart with automatic road traffic management (smart traffic lights + video surveillance cameras + vehicle sensors) and automatic control of heat supply. Free Wi-Fi access is becoming available at public transport stops, on subway trains, city buses and trolleys. Government services are delivered online. Intelligent video surveillance turns passive video data into proactive security and business intelligence in transportation, public buildings and on the streets.

These opportunities are to be discussed at All-over-IP 2018, to take place for the 11th time this year on November 21–23 at the Sokolniki Expo in Moscow, Russia.

Supported by Synesis, Siklu and VIVOTEK, The Smart City Conference is aimed at educating telcos and system integrators on how to transform themselves and find new revenue streams delivering services to cities and businesses.
