  • The population of urban regions is growing by about 55% and will reach 68% in 2050, according to the UN. For the benefit of their citizens, companies, and visitors, municipalities are investing in technology to increase safety, mobility, sustainability, and efficiency.
    Municipalities needed sustainable infrastructure due to this related growth and the resulting global demographic shift to guarantee future-proof cities. In addition, municipalities are undergoing a digital transformation and evolving into intelligent cities as they boost connectivity, advancing services for companies and citizens to designate cities as places that will not only improve quality of life but also guarantee sustainability, security, and safety, as well as draw in more tourists and investors.
    The sustainable or prospective concept of smart cities demands outstanding performance and consistent connectivity. In most cases, fiber-based connections between intelligent cities and conventional telecommunications and internet service providers are made. The Internet of Things (IoT) is rising exponentially; there are more connected devices, and advances in communication technology, like 5G, can support a path forward with a privately owned network that can connect people, sensors, and smart objects by utilizing advanced technology. A few examples of the extensive real-time communication required for managing this rise in devices in digital cities include the expanding traffic management and rerouting systems, an intelligent surveillance security system that reduces crime with real-time control, and autonomous and connected vehicles.
    Efficient urban planning while increasing population day by day in urban areas requires effective initiatives that include advanced traffic management, smart security, optimization of traffic routes, control of connected and autonomous vehicles, advancement in the mobilization of security, police, ambulance or firefighters, and many environmental initiatives require massive extensive data management with high-speed connectivity and low latency that in some extent possible with standard fiber connectivity but not efficient, sustainable and future proving.
