Smart City Summits

Huawei Has Proposed Options for Eastern Europe's Smart City Infrastructure

— December 5, 2017 — Eco
Huawei recently held its Smart City Summit 2017 in Budapest, where it covered opportunities for Eastern Europe to "stay abreast of the latest smart city trends and technology."

The purpose of Huawei's smart city infrastructure proposals is to ease the burden on public services, that will inevitably come with rapid development and population growth in urban centers around the world. Huawei's proposed solutions include a data cloud center, integrated communications, and real-time visibility of the urban environment. The company has already rolled out some smart city infrastructure in Europe, including lighting solutions that significantly reduce power consumption, and "visualized management and predictive maintenance" that has reduced costs.

Huawei's Smart City Summit emphasizes the need for cities around the world to adjust to the fast-changing lifestyles and requirements of urban populations today.
Trend Themes
1. Smart City Infrastructure - Huawei's proposed data cloud center, integrated communications, and real-time visibility of the urban environment can ease the burden on public services and significantly reduce costs.
2. Urban Development - As cities around the world grow and evolve, there is a need for smart solutions to adjust to the fast-changing lifestyles and requirements of urban populations today.
3. Predictive Maintenance - Huawei's 'visualized management and predictive maintenance' solutions have already reduced costs and can further disrupt industries relying on fixed maintenance schedules.
Industry Implications
1. Smart City - The push for smart city infrastructure by Huawei and other companies presents disruptive innovation opportunities for urban planning, construction, and technology industries.
2. Telecommunications - As more cities implement integrated communication systems, the telecommunications industry can capitalize on the increasing demand for fast and reliable connectivity.
3. Energy Efficiency - Huawei's lighting solutions that reduce power consumption can disrupt the energy sector and provide opportunities for innovation in sustainable and efficient energy solutions.
