Smart Cities for Good 3 #IoT6

Introduction

A smart city includes bringing together

individuals, community, smart

infrastructure, advanced technology and

IoT, and sustainability practices to

advance and progress quality of life,

improve city efficiencies, better manage

resources, protect and secure citizens and

assets, and improve overall governance.

This fall’s, “Smart Cities & Communities for Good: Building the Smart in Life, Work and Leisure” IoT6

Exchange Summit brought together thought leaders, executives, advisory board members, and vendors

to explore, learn, exchange best-in-class ideas, technology, solutions, and solve real issues around smart

cities and digital communities. Smart city technologies and solutions are being recognized and followed

by government, communities, industry, and universities. Cities can’t be smarter unless they work towards

being 'better,’ but filtering through the noise and deciding on where cities need to be better is the first

step. Only then, can enabling technologies such as IoT begin to support a city in becoming ‘smart.’

On October 17-19th, attendees participated at IoT6 Exchange, a hosted and invite-only conference focused

around, “Smart Cities for Good.” The uniqueness of IoT6 involves an integrated approach to deliver hard-

hitting content, a packed full and lively agenda, actionable use cases, one-on-one engagement, and unique

learning experiences like no other IoT conference, and focused on decision-makers and influencers. This

year, nGage Events produced and held the exchange summit at the Hyatt Lost Pines Resort in Austin,

Texas.

Key themes this year included the following:

Cities must become technology

epicenters if they plan to survive and

thrive, else risk becoming modern day

ghost towns. Creating the avenues to

become a smart city is both a business

and an ethical mandate for municipal

leaders.

Key Highlights of IoT6 2018

This fall we dove right into smart cities, which was a great stepping stone to our spring smart infrastructure

event held in Ponte Vedra, Florida. From an overall theme, we wanted to focus in on “Smart Cities for

Good” as a way to better engage and explore key solutions to support in improving city services,

enhancing the community experience, and support in better infrastructure efficiencies with overall

positive projects where community buy-in is front and center.

The 5 Smart City Pillars & Evolving Ecosystem

There are 5 primary pillars for smart cities including community and culture, health and wellness, work

and economy, safety and reliability, and accessibility and inclusive. These pillars are the foundation for

future smart city projects, investments, and community involvement. A common theme shared at IoT6 is

the need to lead with the community, as community and citizen support is paramount for the future

success and scale of smart city projects, funding, and implementation.

The primary stakeholders revolve around 4 areas including city departments/agencies, the community,

the vendors and providers, and the decision-makers and influencers. The smart city leaders and visionaries

stakeholder group continues to add new titles such as data scientists, data engineers, special projects,

and innovation leaders, as evolving specialists are needed for smart city projects.

When looking at the four stakeholder groups, the most challenging area for smart city adoption lies within

the city itself, and more specifically the need for cross-agency communication, data sharing, integration,

and coordination. Many projects fall across multiple departments and agencies, and the critical need for

Page 8: IoT6 2018 Executive Summary 11082018 - COMPASS … · 2018-11-26 · Smart Cities for Good 4 #IoT6 Sponsor Details & Attendee Demographics This is the 4th annual IoT6 conference (2

Smart Cities for Good 7 #IoT6

coordination will drive more successful projects and reduce the number of projects that start and fail

quickly. Just as in the spring, a great bit of discussion from the event centered around the concept of

collaboration across different entities for projects and funding. This included varying parties such as

government officials, IT and technical managers, vendor companies, department leaders, standard

bodies, and citizens or community involvement. Disparate decision-making does the opposite of working

towards “open government,” and closed or siloed projects will slow progress for scaling and synergies.

To dive a bit more into some of the themes, we will highlight some of the key learnings and information

that resulted from the event and share links to our YouTube channel to watch and learn more.

Stephanie Atkinson - Keynote “Smart Cities for Good”

The event kicked off with a key note from our chair, Stephanie Atkinson. Stephanie noted there are 4

steps to reach smart cities for good including (1) Redefine (2) Rethink (3) Reorganize and (4) Relate. We

must start with redefining the city, and city goals and plans must include innovation and projects to

embrace automation and tech. We must redefine funding and procurement mechanisms, the new way

must push boundaries on public-private partnerships (3Ps or PPP) and other partnership models. Lastly,

we must redefine through evaluating the entire ecosystem – what can we leverage with existing

infrastructure, assets, and resources – what has to change?

Page 9: IoT6 2018 Executive Summary 11082018 - COMPASS … · 2018-11-26 · Smart Cities for Good 4 #IoT6 Sponsor Details & Attendee Demographics This is the 4th annual IoT6 conference (2

Smart Cities for Good 8 #IoT6

For Rethink, we must throw out legacy and antiquated thinking, embracing design-thinking, process

improvement, and other innovative collaborative approaches. We need to rethink new ways to perform

old tasks, new ways to serve citizens, new processes to improve performance, and new tools to bring new

experiences to the community. Focusing on health, sustainable practices, and citizen facing services will

be huge drivers for projects, so rethink priorities is a must.

For Reorganize, we need to reorganize to pool from synergistic resources, as cities are becoming software

and application centric. The developer community is vital to reorganizing, so think about opening up

opportunities and involving competition with application and software developers. New interfaces and

real-time community experiences will only come from the thriving developer world. Cross-collaboration

and working outside normal boundaries will be imperative, cross department---cross agency---fed-state-

local---partnering with non-traditional tech companies.

For Relate, early wins must be tied to the citizen and community…think traffic, safety, mobility,

information access, city services automation. If you start without the citizens and your residents in focus,

then you may find failure, as citizen buy-in will be vital to advancing smart cities for good. Simply start

with solving problems now, and future monetization and funding models will evolve.

Ricky Singh - Keynote “Who is smarter, the city or its citizens?”

Sprint’s Ricky Singh, Chief of Products & Solutions, presented our 2nd keynote on Day 1. Ricky shared that

IoT or the Internet of Things is about capturing data, bringing immediate intelligence, and changing lives.

As businesses evolve from connecting people to connecting things, you need to be able to turn data into

immediate intelligence and the IoT has the power to change lives if you do it properly. Ricky asked the

question about who is smarter, man or machine and he shares coming trends that help us answer this

question. Ricky shared additional trends driving the future including:

Compute power of smartphones and personal computing devices is growing at a fast pace

Data centers are smarter than we are, very efficient but they are immobile

Page 10: IoT6 2018 Executive Summary 11082018 - COMPASS … · 2018-11-26 · Smart Cities for Good 4 #IoT6 Sponsor Details & Attendee Demographics This is the 4th annual IoT6 conference (2

Smart Cities for Good 9 #IoT6

5G – This is the bridge between human intelligence and the intelligence sitting in the data center

87% of the population live in cities, cost savings in energy management, traffic, reducing pollution

is a driver (Walmart is changing 200M a year just by changing their lightbulbs to LEDs)

$5-$10M in annual city savings is expected to be realized through traffic management solutions

100B will be spent on smart cities over the next 5 years across 500+ projects, 32% of these projects

will not be implemented, 78% of these projects will not scale, and 2/3rd of projects will focus on

improving city services

Ricky noted there are a number of key issues as to why we are leaving money on the table and projects

are not reaching true potential. First there is a cost/benefit mismatch as some projects are either not

obtaining proper funding or the benefits are really just not apparent, so essentially, we need to realize

true outcomes for smart cities. The people paying for the technology may not be the ones benefitting

from the technology. Second, technology is difficult, but it does not have to be if we work together with

the right partners and have a good resource team for execution. “We are heavily focused on teaching

people technology instead of teaching technology to work with people,” states Mr. Singh. Lastly, people

are happy. This essentially means that

people-driven projects must

communicate the real value

proposition of how smarter cities

improved citizen lives. Citizens may

perceive that things are okay now.

Getting to the goal of providing

actionable intelligence to cities

continues to drive the evolving IoT

market. We are seeking seamless

global connectivity and require

security at the device and data levels.

In addition, IoT solutions must scale

from small businesses and

governments to very large cities and

corporations. This will require a greater investment and involvement with the developer community, and

out of the box solutions. Lastly, we need smart city solutions to scale with using connectivity, hardware,

software, security, and services. Sprint launched a number of services to address this including a dedicated

IoT core, secure IoT operating system, a digital factory for SMB IoT solutions, and a number of Sprint IoT

solutions across industries. The Sprint Curiosity™ IoT platform was launched back in September to provide

both the dedicated IoT core and secure IoT OS, essentially a dedicated, fully virtualized and distributed

IoT core network and OS. The primary goal is to improve how people live, businesses operate, and society

evolves.

IoT6 Advisory Board Roundtable

One of the highlights of IoT6 is hearing from our esteemed group of advisory board members. This session

not only sets the stage for a number of key themes for the 2.5 day event, but gets our audience further

engaged and challenges the thinking through ideation, use case stories, and real-world recommendations.

Cities run like an operating system according to Daniel Obodovski, CEO of The Silent Intelligence. They

share multiple infrastructures but these infrastructures are not speaking to one another, predicting, or

even providing intelligence to the city and community. Cities already store and pull large volumes of data

today, but really are not at the level of improving citizen experiences as they love, work, and play.

Bill Pugh share additional details around public-private partnership and mentioned many cities are asking

why it is taking so long. He stated today we don’t have a flood of stimulus or federal monies coming to

support smart city projects. We are now getting very creative with finding funding through the 3Ps (Public-

Private partnership). Bill also shared the statistic quoted by Cisco that 67% of pilot projects die and some

of this is due to lack of funding, lack of integration, unsuccessful planning, and drawn-out unsuccessful

execution strategies. Outside of the trend with 3Ps, he did mention opportunities provided through NIST,

and US IGNITE, as they are rallying to try and provide funding for citizens wanting to roll out smart city

projects.

Daniel agreed with Bill stating the creative funding mechanisms taking place today, as some projects even

have zero investment. Because carriers need to deploy 5G infrastructure (femtocells, high urban density

cells, fiber optic cable), there is a multibillion investment in city infrastructure underway. Wireline and

cable providers are also investing in fiber optic cable in cities. This requires a great amount of

administration and the push to get city permits. So, the providers need access, meanwhile the city needs

projects funded. This will drive many smart city projects through the exchange of things like right-of-way

and tower permit approvals. Daniel states that utility companies are facing challenges but have larger

cash piles and are starting with investments around EV charging infrastructure. They are essentially

looking at services to launch with cities as they will be funding them, outside of grid services.

Smart Cities for Good 11 #IoT6

Nadine Manjaro, CEO of Beyond M2M Communications, discussed bringing in 3rd party companies and

doing revenue share through the companies. She also mentioned smart city funding is currently being

backed by companies like Cisco (Billion Dollar Fund), with operators taking the lead and 3rd parties coming

in to manage the products. There was essentially a consensus, that 3Ps is a driving force and most of the

funding for smart city projects will be around creative multi-party funding mechanisms.

Sam Lucero, Senior Principal IoT & M2M Analyst of IHS Markit, shared details around a recent United

States Conference of Mayors survey with 51 cities participating. He stated that small cities (150K residents,

150-1M residents is mid-sized cities) are funding projects with more tax dollars, with about an estimated

80% coming from public funding and about 10% private, with only 10% using 3P funding. However, large

cities (1M residents and up) are funding projects with about 15% using private funding and about 35%

using 3P funding, with the remainder coming from public funding. Larger cities appear to be more

interested in exploring new and creative funding models for smart city investments. He mentioned that

public-private partnerships are critical in the U.S., as we don’t have central government resources similar

to Europe and China (see Horizon 2020, $32B dispersed in China). Sam stated there are roughly 300 smart

cities in China with strong central backing. Sam also shared details around oneTransport in the UK making

progress around transportation projects and essentially providing a data exchange so data can be

discovered, federated, and used by different 3rd parties.

A few additional highlights included the following

See projects driven about Vision Zero, a focus on no fatalities or serious injuries involving road

traffic

Look from the inside out (per Bill), you must take a step inside the city first

Cities are drowning in data (per Daniel), we must get smart with data sharing and data

monetization

o Big data from IoT sensors means increased growth, 20% CAGR in big data growth, 36% by

2025, doubling every few years

Cities need data scientists, but don’t have the volume to handle this

o Stephanie states there is a major gap in data scientists, and we need collaboration with

the colleges to cultivate and retain talent

o Nadine agreed there is a shortage and the larger tech companies are getting the talent

over cities. She mentioned we need to educate outside of colleges in addition to meet the

need. China is addressing this, and the U.S. need to as well

Cities are exploring not only 3P funding, but also zero investment projects. We expect this to

continue.

Cities must understand their existing infrastructure around areas they want to become smart. (i.e.

If you have no inventory of your existing traffic light vendors, who to you move forward.)

Current smart city projects focused around traffic congestion and management, public

transportation, citizen services, and infrastructure automation

Privacy concerns will impact city compliance and planning and become top of mind. However, the

generational gap may lighten this up a bit as younger generations are more accepting

Page 13: IoT6 2018 Executive Summary 11082018 - COMPASS … · 2018-11-26 · Smart Cities for Good 4 #IoT6 Sponsor Details & Attendee Demographics This is the 4th annual IoT6 conference (2

Smart Cities for Good 12 #IoT6

There is interest around projects driven around social capital (Hector Dominguez, City of Portland

– says their city cares about social capital over economic capital, but this is difficult to translate

and residents are skeptical, so they need to generate strategies to generate trust, privacy comes

in the center of that)

IoT security remains a concern (mention of California’s IoT security bill)

Smart City CXO Roundtable

This session is our end-customer (CIO) panel where we get perspectives from smart city leaders. Top

initiatives and priorities revolve defining smart cities and setting the stage (erasing the lines of delineation

says Chris Chiancone), traffic management and integration with GIS, making public safety more efficient,

making data more transparent and cleaning the data (Keith Robinson says we need good data first),

developing a smart city strategy (reduce cost, make revenue, find new revenue), and digital inclusion

(serving all residents in the city), and understanding impact to public right of way with providers (master

license agreements, states Tony Batalla) as connectivity moves into the city at a faster pace. Delivering

services to benefit cities is a common theme across some of the priorities and primary projects taking

place.

The city is a problem solver. Keith Robinson of the city of Atlanta mentions Atlanta’s Together Safer Roads

initiative. The city of Atlanta worked with IBM, AT&T, and even private sector companies like UPS to gather

goals and feedback. In addition, the city worked on gathering feedback across multiple agencies or

departments, which aided in an overall more successful collaborative project. The project started off with

an initial focus on providing safer roads for citizens. By focusing on the problem first, this helped lead to

Page 14: IoT6 2018 Executive Summary 11082018 - COMPASS … · 2018-11-26 · Smart Cities for Good 4 #IoT6 Sponsor Details & Attendee Demographics This is the 4th annual IoT6 conference (2

Smart Cities for Good 13 #IoT6

a better solution where innovation is front and center and the end resulted in internal buy-in and provided

more value to the city.

Tony Batalla of the city of San Leandro mentioned cities tend to identify additional opportunities

sometimes on the fly, especially when it comes to roll of IT and other departments as they consider

working together and having access. The city of San Leandro rolled out a city-wide smart light network by

replacing all street lights with LED bulbs, and this project is expected to reach $8M in cost savings over

the next 15 years. The smart lights have smart nodes and can be controlled remotely from the server. As

a result, other departments like public works began to show interest in working together with IT and

discover other applications with smart lighting. Some things will be an afterthought, as cities roll out a

point-based solution that is later identified as having additional opportunities and applications for the

city.

Chris Chiancone of the city of Plano says each city has a different definition and approach to smart cities.

He says the handoff from one division to the other can be a challenge, as you need a systemic and

collaborative approach across stakeholders and agencies (could be up to 10). He further emphasized the

advisory board’s consensus that cross department and agency collaboration is critical. The city of Plano

decided to take a unique stance to smart cities, by not focusing on smart cities but rather a data-first

approach. He said yes, they are doing some initial projects such as putting LTE in traffic lights and using

IoT sensors for the Plano school district. Chris believes the data-first approach will help the city better

understand the final end-game before they move forward and build out IoT or smart city solutions. He

mentions Plano is expected to be more effective because data is driving what the needs are for the city.

Tony Batalla mentions city problems are regional problems and need regional approaches. Driving forward

to working together and is very challenging for all cities. Standardization might be needed in IT and being

collaborative is needed or none of this happens. Chris says most citizens love the “green wave” (i.e. all

green lights to work). Some cities may become more advanced in smart cities around traffic and

transportation, and if another adjacent city does not meet those same standards, then satisfaction will be

challenging, and the experience is not seamless. The smart city is a business workflow problem, so we

need to define the business process first says Chris Chiancone. He says this may help early on to support

in city to city seamless experiences. Keith Robinson says the technology piece is easy, but the government

collaboration part is what is hard. Elected officials need to understand the regional issues.

Blain Mathieu - Keynote “Building the Real-Time City”

As cities become smarter and adopt automation and IoT technologies, we need to consider some of the

non-technical aspects that are impacted. More specifically culture, change management, and

organizational models become very important when having the technology discussion. Blaine Mathieu,

running products and marketing for VANTIQ, shared additional insights around this at IoT6 held in the fall.

Cities will need to embody the type of change that is necessary to get us to “smart cities for good.” Outside

of IoT, edge computing will play a pivotal role in data processing, analytics, and computing. Using Machine

learning (Artificial Intelligence), deep learning, and neural networks to make data intelligent and produce

outcomes. Blaine mentions the important for producing outcomes to benefit the city and its residents.

Cities are increasingly interested in “as a Service” as opposed to buying infrastructure or products, and

this in turn is ultimately used for citizens or residents of a community. We are operating our cities through

digital twins, or an exact replica of the city, to help understand, learn, and control how the city runs more

efficiently. We are moving away from batch processes to real-time or event-driven processes or actions.

Use cases for smart city fundamentally are about moving away from batch processes and operations.

Smart Cities for Good 15 #IoT6

Some of the core challenges are presented below by VANTIQ:

Source: VANTIQ, Blaine Mathieu

The solution is real-time, event-driven applications or taking event streams and producing real-time

actions. The data coming off the sensors, devices, handhelds, people are all events that are flowing in and

around the city. We need to process the data as it is flowing in (with context), understand the issues-

concerns-problems, then take action based on the events. Actions can be taken by people (first

responders, dispatchers, maintenance, HAZMAT, etc.) or machines (the connected device, cloud,

smartphone, computing device, vehicle, equipment, etc.).

Smart Cities for Good 16 #IoT6

“The city requires event-driven applications that connect your city’s devices, systems, and people together

in real time,” says Blaine. In addition, cities require security, scalability, and flexibility and this is especially

the case for mission critical applications (emergency communications and response, catastrophes, utilities

and city services, etc.). Lastly, these applications need to run anywhere and distributed from the cloud to

the edge and human-machine collaboration is a must for the success of smart city projects.

IoT6 Smart Cities Wrap Up

The future is now for smart cities. We must embrace the developer community and lead with the citizen

or community. Involving residents and visitors by focusing on their well-being, satisfaction levels, and

overall city experience is the primary goal for smart city advancement. In addition, exploring creative and

non-governmental funding sources for partnerships and funding models is needed to reach scale across

departments and agencies. Public-private partnerships and evolving funding models will emerge and

provide life to siloed smart city projects. City governments will need to think beyond their city and think

about changes that benefit regions and corridors outside of their own city boundaries. Embracing

software development (the developer community) and the application marketplace is also a key driver for

smart city advancement. Finally, innovation will require cross coordination and collaboration across city

departments and agencies, as well as neighboring communities and cities.

IoT6 Information

STAY TUNED FOR OUR 2019 EVENT DATE!

The unique, invitation-only hosted format of IoT6 Exchange, conducted in an upscale resort setting like

the Ponte Vedra Resort and Inn or Hyatt Lost Pines Resort & Spa, provides an engaging platform for use

case presentations and keynotes, small group discussions, industry specific and vertical-focused topics as

well as one-on-one conversations with leading vendors and peers on the latest solutions, strategies and

topics around the Internet of Things within the enterprise.

IoT6 Exchange has many avenues for our attendees to gain insight into how these investments will

improve their overall digital strategy. Key aspects include:

Keynotes, Fireside Chats, Panels and General Sessions:

IoT6 Exchange keeps things simple by having only one conference track to focus on. Attendees will sit in

on a variety of sessions covering the latest topics, industry news and respected insights from leading

solution providers, industry experts and end user executives.

Case Study Boardroom Sessions:

These highly interactive sessions presented by solution providers to an intimate group of executives give

an inside view of the implementation and strategy of an actual customer use case. These sessions not

only provide the vendors with feedback on end user wants/needs, but also promote candid discussions

for end users to gain perspective from their peers within various industries.

1:1 Meetings:

Our 1:1 Meeting Zone allows our end user attendees, solution providers, and industry experts the perfect

opportunity to connect with one another for 20-minute face-to-face meetings, which makes sourcing

solutions painless for our executive attendees and makes connecting with prospective clientele cost-

effective for our sponsors. Respected industry analysts and experts will also be present to discuss your

needs and to help you move your own digital strategy forward.

Networking Receptions:

Connections can be made at a traditional trade show, but with our unique format, lasting relationships

are forged through a multitude of networking opportunities. Attendees network over 2.5 days and dive

user attendees and solution providers, we believe that quality over quantity adds a higher value to the
