Across the globe, people are relocating to cities at a staggering rate: By 2050, 70 percent of the world’s population is predicted to live in urban environments1. What’s more, the prevalence of the Internet of Things (IoT) is exponentially raising consumers’ expectations for constant connectivity and seamless interoperability. How can cities manage to keep up without depleting resources, overhauling existing infrastructure, or neglecting consumers’ demand for connectedness?
In a keynote at the 2015 AllSeen Alliance Summit in Seattle, Kiva Allgood, VP of Business Development, Smart Cities and Industrial IoT for Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. (QTI), presented “Technology and Innovation: Turning The “Future of Cities” Into A Reality.”
