5G is allowing data transmission at speeds of 20 gigabits per second that ensures seamless transmission of data from millions of applications and IoT devices and provides real-time actionable insights. Soon many cities across the United States and other international cities will begin to see smart lighting, metering, grid, traffic, roads, parking, energy, farms, mobility, pedestrian transport, buildings, emergency response services, healthcare, energy and infrastructure. To support the huge amount of data that will be produced, ingested and analyzed daily, technology innovators are focused on leveraging its expertise to build large scalable solutions to support the needs of the smart city.
Security and scalability will be the determination of whether these new technologies truly succeed in making an urbanite's life as seamless and data-driven as possible.
