Driving Sustainable Smart Cities

Pudong Ballroom, Level 3, Kerry Hotel

This conference session will focus on how smart city technology is becoming a vital aspect of future development in the Asia Pacific region, where most of the world’s largest and fastest-growing urban areas are developing at a rapid rate. Navigant Research forecasts that annual smart city technology investment in Asia Pacific will almost quadruple by 2023, reaching $11.3 billion. With urbanisation, a growing and aging population, what are operators, governments and platform providers doing in order to resolve the challenges involved in achieving and maintaining a sustainable smart urban environment?

Learn from key industry experts who will showcase examples of successful smart systems and discuss how the ecosystem needs to harmonise in order to address the challenges of making smart cities sufficient and sustainable.

Innovation City, SNIEC, N3

Experience the future of Mobile technology with GSMA’s Innovation City. Enter a real life city setting, and see first-hand how mobile-connected products and services are improving the lives of people at home, in leisure and work.

Connected Living will showcase the latest Internet of Things technologies here. With everything now getting connected a new generation of secure, reliable, scalable, standardised, operator managed IoT networks are needed. Mobile IoT (Low Power Wide Area) networks are designed for IoT applications that are low cost, use low data rates, require long battery lives and often operate in remote and hard to reach locations. Existing cellular networks are evolving to deliver service to billions of new devices providing complete IoT connectivity.

Come and see how these new technologies are being used by China Mobile to making your street lights smart, Huawei to keep your pets safe and Ericsson to ensure our rivers are clean.

IoT Summit in association with GSMA Connected Living

Kerry Hotel Pudong Shanghai, Shanghai Ballroom 1

The large-scale deployment of IoT technology is gradually transforming many aspects of the way we live and work, and the number of smart and connected devices will continue to soar in 2016. The GSMA predicts that there will be 27 billion connected devices by 2020, and 10 billion devices will be mobile connected. But there is still a long way to go from the early adopter phase to mass market acceptance. Issues such as cost, interactivity, security and interoperability will challenge the development of the future market.

During the IoT Summit at MWC Shanghai 2015, the GSMA brought together speakers from the industry ecosystem to discuss the new technology and explore the best user practice in different verticals. At IoT Summit 2016, we will continue to lead attendees to explore the latest development in IoT and demonstrate how to bring the concept to reality.
