SMART Sustainable Cities in LATAM
São Paulo, Brazil, 30 July 2013
Introduction
Smart Sustainable City is a great concept but needs to be
supported by infrastructures and enabling platforms to
be concretely achievable.
The presentation shows our vision on how a Telco Operator
(like Telecom Italia) could play a strategic role in this
context.

► Gas metering (management of gas meters in accordance with the rules of the Italina
Authority)
► SEP (management platform of the sensors in IoT way)
► Energy management (monitoring of utility consumption(EE/GAS/WATER) per Business
market)

Use Case 1 (designed with Turin City council): the Safecity
The Project entitled "Safecity" belongs to the group of special European Union Projects
FP7 -FI-PPP and provides for the development of smart security services for the City.
The Safecity ICT platform and a certain number of applications for smart security services
are defined. The security services should cover both the crimes and the emergency
situation caused for example by accidents (eg railway accidents), natural disasters
(earthquakes, floods, etc..) and terrorist attacks.

Conclusions
Main Telco’s role is in Horizontal Platforms as they
►
►
►
are “enabling platforms” for third parties involved in “Smart City”
applications development
hide technical complexity and lack of standards at the sensor layer,
decoupling devices and application through well defined API
facilitate applications exchange among different Public
Administrations (Smart City Application Store)
►
enable the mandatory cooperation between public and private domain
►
support an effective ecosystem among big players and niche players
►
are cost effective because of large scale economies
