Connected Cities
Smart city solutions securely connect cities, enhancing the quality of citizen life and helping communities grow sustainably.
Today’s city services and operations rely on secure connectivity. Devices and services connected to city networks increase demand for more bandwidth and speed such that smart city technology becomes necessary for sustainable growth.
Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise smart city solutions connect cities and citizens with resilient communications and networks. We help you transform your technology foundation to power a secure, high-density connectivity across the city. This network securely connects IoT and reduces complexity and costs, while providing a safe, friendly citizen experience.
Build sustainable, connected cities
- Create a transformation foundation for a smart city
- Connect people, objects, machines and processes securely across the city
- Simplify management and reduce costs with automation and proactive analytics
- Power smart, sustainable buildings
Smart city solutions keep a smart city running
Smart city projects depend on a resilient network and communications foundation. A Digital Age Network is smart and automated, which makes it easy to connect users and devices to their specific applications in a secure manner. It also ensures a coherent quality of experience everywhere.
With a secure foundation in place, high-density Wi-Fi 6 can be deployed across the city to connect objects, machines and processes that fuel your digital transformation. IoT enablement and access control make it fast and easy to configure cybersecurity policies for the vast number of connected users, devices and applications.
Connected city networks cannot be managed manually. Proactive network management reduce errors and enhances intervention speed. With our solution, IT teams define network services, architecture, access policies and IoT containers and the network builds itself automatically. Once it is built, the network makes the required adjustments automatically.
Power smart, sustainable buildings
Sustainable buildings can reduce city emissions, reinforce community spirit and ensure citizen safety. City buildings offer smart services such as collaboration, wayfinding, automated room booking, secured access control or carpark status. Remote control and automation enhance resource efficiency and reduces energy consumption. Video surveillance and centralized notifications improve citizen security.
