Sarah Wray from SmartCitiesWorld, talks to Phil Skipper, Head of IoT at Vodafone Business, about the important role mobile operators play in smart cities.
Describing a city as an already smart and complex ecosystem, full of networks such as roads, rail and waste, he cites mobile operators as a new piece of infrastructure; the missing link between the city and its suppliers.
Using connected and IoT solutions, Phil explains that cities will be able to connect with their remote devices, allowing them to receive data which will help transform and improve the way they operate.
