The Smart City Committee in the Fiberconnect Council MENA has a mission to promote the deployment of ultra-high-speed FTTX. This technology is considered the most sustainable access network and is vital in reducing the carbon footprint. Additionally, it serves as the core of cities' digital transformation. The committee aims to support urban development by providing guidelines, standards, and services that highlight deployment approaches, applications, and benefits for Smart Cities, campuses, and other real estate developments in the MENA region.
This month, the focus will be on the increased achievements in developing smart city platforms, sustainability, and smart mobility globally. The news will cover the deployment of AI-based platforms to manage smart mobility infrastructure in Spain, the use of AI-powered insights to monitor public transport systems in the UK, and Data management initiatives using Blockchain technology by Digital Dubai and Dubai Customs as well as several Autonomous mobility projects in the US.
Finally, it's important to emphasize the role of optical fiber in supporting the upcoming deployments of mobility management infrastructure networks in developing smart cities globally. Optical fiber provides the required ultra-wide bandwidth for the massive number of IoT devices embedded in these networks.
