This panel will explore innovative IN Building network solutions that are enabling smart building services and automation. LoRa is a low powered IoT technology used to connect sensors. CBRS/Private Wireless is growing in its applications for buildings and campuses. Learn how each technology can be deployed from citywide to building specific.

Join the world’s leading artificial intelligence and digital twin solution providers as they explore how data analytics in its many forms can make a community resilient with targeted investments.

Experts from Colorado and Texas cities will discuss the issues involved in planning, deploying and operating city broadband infrastructure. Business models range from single service providers to open access government-owned networks. Other important variables from Digital Equity and Literacy to the complexities of deployment and funding will be explored.

Learn how location service and connected device innovations are transforming in-building applications and public safety capabilities. Specifically, this session will demonstrate how IoT can streamline the 911 process and how first responders receive critical information. Seconds matter and a streamlined workflow can significantly improve response effectiveness. Questions like: Can IoT sensors notify 911 automatically? Can this infrastructure be leveraged for commercial applications? Cyber security and other technical, policy and market-based issues will also be discussed.

Hear from multiple federal agencies how technology is integrated into new and existing funding opportunities related to smart cities

Cities need to become more accessible, and technology can play a role. Hear from leaders in the space working to make cities more smart and accessible.

An unprecedented amount of funding in excess of $100 billion will be awarded through the Treasury, NTIA, RDOF and FCC programs over the next few years. Learn what the funding programs are and how to apply for funding and build PPPs between service providers, government entities and other stakeholders. The presenters include a Federal Broadband Funding Judge, Leading DC Telecom Attorney and corporate expert at cooperative purchasing programs.

Are you looking to deploy that hot new municipal application for analytics, parking, public Wi-Fi or safety cameras, but don't have budget to connect to the desired location?  Are you planning to deliver internet connection to reach the underserved community for education, health, and economic improvement?  All smart city applications start with a great foundation of reliable connectivity.  Some municipal applications only require small amounts of data or packets, however, increasingly we are seeing the need for in field at location high-definition video and internet or Wi-Fi connections at the location where desired or needed even where low data applications coexist.  This session will focus on unique ways to solve budget constraints for your hot application projects to get funded and launched.

You’re a city manager or planner and would love to lead the way in turning your city into a shining example of a “Smart City.” But there’s so much noise in the market, everyone’s trying to sell you something, and the city has so many disparate applications and systems - it’s hard to know where to start and what to ask for. This session will set you on the right track.

You’ll hear from a diverse panel of independent experts about how cities can specify interoperability between applications, systems, buildings and more. Listen to professionals discuss best practices and the importance of interoperability when specifying solutions so you can optimize costs and benefits for your city.

This panel discussion will explore the types of networks that are being funding. These networks range from Fiber Optic based Public Networks to CBRS Private Networks. Major considerations explored will include supply chain, costs per subscriber, user adoption campaigns, network speeds and throughput. The panelists are hands-on with successful deployments and can share best practices and answer detailed questions on what and how to successfully extend broadband connectivity.
