The Smart City challenges faced by San Diego are common to all Smart City designers and implementers worldwide. This is exactly why the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) has embarked on building a "Smart City Planning and Technology" standard.

Manufacturing systems require network connectivity with ultra-low latency, high reliability, and high bandwidths.  Current network architectures limit the utility of these systems inside their private and latency-sensitive environments.  In this session, you will learn how MEC and 5G enable the near-real-time data processing and ultra-low latency that today’s industries require. Speakers include Clara Hustad of AT&T.  The session starts Monday, Feb. 3 at 1 PM.

In its 2020 Forum, ARC Advisory Group is expanding the Smart Cities track – filling it with thought-provoking talks and discussion on topics that matter to you.  One such session is IoT and Smart Lighting Platforms: The Dramatic Impacts and Hidden Opportunities of Convergence.

Electric Vehicles have reached TCO parity for commercial use cases and are making sense for private drivers as well. This session will feature speakers and panelists showcasing how vehicle electrification is becoming a reality, and how charging can be done in harmony with the broader energy system.​ Public agencies, utilities, OEMs, charging entities, and integrators, as well as anyone interested in the all-electric future are invited.​

This session will feature case studies and perspectives highlighting the business opportunities of shared mobility, sometimes powered by autonomous vehicle technology, as well as the role public agencies need to play. Learn how the next generation of travelers will transform their habits, reduce single-occupant vehicles, reduce transportation expenses, travel safer, and increase pro​fitability of customer-focused mobility services. ​
