Telefónica Digital Unveils Smart City Offering

November 16, 2012 |

BARCELONA -- At the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona, Telefónica Digital presents a Smart City solution based on the company’s M2M capabilities. This will allow municipal corporations, urban service providers and entrepreneurs worldwide to integrate in a single scalable, flexible and self-managing solution the complex environment of sensors and technology characteristic of the so-called “Smart Cities”.

This integrated offering will provide professionals in the sector with access to Telefónica’s M2M capabilities and services, which deliver added value to town councils and other bodies in the supervision and management of connected devices, their installation and maintenance and the collection and analysis of data.

The solution presented today by Telefónica will allow the creation of an open ecosystem which will generate new business models, helping entrepreneurs to develop their own applications on top of it. For the cities, the fact that the solution is fully adaptable to their particular needs will allow them to improve management and optimise the services they offer to their citizens.
