"One of the foundational pillars of smart cities is data. Data is both, an enabler and force multiplier and it fuels the smart city, like gasoline to an engine.

One of the foundational pillars of smart cities is data. Data is both an enabler and force multiplier and it fuels the smart city, like gasoline to an engine. Data is also a precious resource for cities; valuable in countless ways. Why is data so important?
Two reasons: 1) Faster pattern recognition; and 2) Smarter resource allocation. Distilling those down even further, let’s call it: Awareness + Action. All cities collect and use data, but the push toward smart cities is to utilize data in ways that help cities become not only increasingly more informed (Awareness), but increasingly more responsive (Action).
Every city will eventually become a smart city in the same manner that nearly every phone has become a smart phone. It’s not that we had “dumb phones” before, or “dumb cities” for that matter. Rather, the “smart” moniker denotes the ability of the device or in this case a city/community to utilize cross-domain information to deliver a richer, more robust experience.
We acknowledge that data is one of the foundational pillars of a smart city, but with data coming from seemingly every direction and source, and in massive volumes—Petabytes and Exabytes are now common vocabulary—data is such an encompassing term it can be difficult to wrap our minds around it. So, for the purpose of gaining clear understanding of this crucial smart city driver, consider this: Data, in raw format, is like crude oil.
In 2006, Clive Humby—a UK Mathematician—was quoted as having said, “Data is the new oil.” What Mr. Humby was attempting to communicate was not only the value of data as a precious commodity, but the process and effort required to collect raw data and convert it into a useable form. Like any precious resource, data doesn’t just sit on the surface; it must be mined, drilled, and extruded. A lot of effort goes into getting the raw data and, like crude oil, without transport and refinement the data, as potentially valuable as it may be, it is virtually worthless.
Cisco understands full-well the central role data plays in driving smart city/community growth and effectiveness. And, staying with the oil analogy, Cisco is also fully aware of the crucial role that transport and refinement play in converting raw data into actionable information. Cisco delivers handedly in these two areas.
Cisco’s strategy to addressing the needs of cities today and into the future is to use the network as the foundation for managed city and business services that incorporate all manner of mobility, security, cloud computing, virtualization, collaboration, and video and rely on cross-functional, open architecture applications that run on this foundation layer.
Unlock data (from various Sensor types, device types and infrastructure assets) hidden away in departmental and agency silos and make it a part of the digital community to address citywide challenges,.
Combine it with data coming from intelligent sensors in a standardized format so that app developers and sensor providers can frame and deliver the data in meaningful new ways.
In every community, infrastructure assets now become become opportunities for enablement, empowerment, and engagement.
Transport…
Another foundational pillar of smart cities is the smart network, which functions as the transport vehicle. In this case, it’s data moving through digital pipelines. Cisco, at its core, is a networking company. With the majority of the world’s data traversing Cisco networks, its depth and breadth of experience in this area position Cisco very solidly in the expert quadrant. Throughout its 35-year history, Cisco has invested billions of dollars in company acquisitions and R&D to create extremely robust network solutions. Cisco’s Digital Network Architecture (DNA) for Cities/Communities is a powerfully secure, resilient, and extensible solution that gives cities a durable foundation upon which to build a smart city/community network and the confidence to safely carry valuable data. The smart network is the proverbial oil pipeline hauling crude oil to the refinery.
Data Refinement…
Cisco’s Kinetic for Cities/Communities (CKC) is an IoT data aggregation and normalization platform. This “refinery plant” allows cities/communities to collect sensor data from multiple vendors across multiple domains and prepare the data for ingestion into analytic, visualization, and contextualization engines, where its real power and value can be extracted. Like crude oil being refined into gasoline, CKC aggregates and normalizes raw data into usable feedstocks with valuable application profiles.
Awareness+Action
To help customers with their smart cities/communities journeys, Cisco offers an integrated architecture approach. With our comprehensive product portfolio, end-to-end customer services, and trusted ecosystem of global partners, we are creating the City/Community as a Platform solution. What does this mean? A multi-layered/multi-dimensional image of a city/community begins to emerge that facilitates the Awareness+Action tandem helping to deliver outcomes with impact, improve operational efficiency, and gain greater competitiveness.
Through two foundational smart city pillars (smart networks and data) Cisco delivers an extensible platform allowing for the addition of new sensors, across different domains from different technology types. The versatility of the platform lets cities/communities connect their existing sensor environment, as well as onboard new sensor technologies as they emerge. This minimizes the need for rip-n-replace efforts when new technologies are made available. This functionality also allows cities/communities to work with multiple vendors within and across IoT domains further increasing the economic value of the platform. Additionally, by leveraging the power of the platform, cities/communities can engage with other cities/communities to seamlessly share information, insights, and experiences regionally.
This integrated platform approach helps cities/communities strategically align the domains in which they are collecting data today, as well as those where they will be collecting data tomorrow.
This approach results in an effective, efficient, economical, and scalable solution and promotes the unleashing of more latent power within the data they generate or collect.
Ability to orchestrate, analyze and integrate data from sensors concurrently across all systems via visualization platform

To help customer with their smart cities journey, Cisco is taking an integrated solution architecture approach with our comprehensive product portfolio of networking and IoT, our end-to-end customer services, and trusted ecosystem of global partners
First, every smart city starts with its network. Cisco Digital Network Architecture (Cisco DNA) provides the digital backbone for smart city digitization. With secure connectivity, cities can deliver effective public services, share meaningful interactions with agencies, keep people safer and data protected. With Cisco IoT connectivity, we are extending the network into City edge to connect to sensors, cameras with a wide range of protocol support, security and IoT fog intelligence
Second, Kinetic for Cities. Cisco Kinetic for Cities is a smart city operation platform that allows Manage your city in the palm of your hand
It unlocks data from its sources to capture and adapt disparate citywide information. This gives leaders unprecedented insights for better city management and money-saving operations
Third, strong partner ecosystem, to work with us to deliver pre-packaged solutions and GTM offers to help simplify customer journey

Cisco Kinetic for Cities is an extensible platform enabling the addition of new sensors, across different domains from different technology types. All of the data from these disparate sensors are normalized and API’s are provided using keys and secure information to app developers. For example, only parking agency can give lighting data to agency if they have the secure key. This creates a secure B2B exchange.
Here is a sample dashboard of Cisco Kinetic for Cities. It provides a single pane of glass across all the important smart cities use case domains.
Today, with the new v4.0 release, we support lighting, parking, waste management, safety and security, environment monitoring, and urban mobility including traffic and crowd counting
This is the c-Events platform and there has never been anything like this before where you can see waiting calls, both the location and, potentially, the video – even before the call is answered. This gives you the option of prioritizing the incoming calls instead of having to take the calls in FIFO order.
Also have a map view of all your active calls where you can circle an area on the map and reveal all the cameras and sensors inside the circle. If you have Carbyne and Cisco Kinetics, you can connect to a city camera, dispatch a drone and get the most complete situational awareness possible.
We call this the APP Store of public safety where you can choose the elements that you need to be added to the solution and Carbyne will build it or provide it from available apps. You only pay for the apps that you need and not for anything you don’t want.
Now we have our next gen call handling platform which is built on top of Cisco UCCE.
You see dynamic device location plus the ANI/ALI if available
You have the ability to connect to city cameras
We are now working on speech to text capabilities because we are controlling the voice as well from this platform
Keywords spoken by the caller are highlighted
And when you click DONE on the event, the relevant information is forwarded to the CAD system and/or first responders, hospitals (THE MANY) and we will show you how in a few slides.
With the Carbyne interface, after studying many call-taking systems, we tried to simplify what is on the screen so just the most important and useful functions and information is shown on the screen.
The solutions with 100 buttons on the screen are not better solutions since 85% of the functions cluttering the screen are rarely, if ever, used.

All this has allowed ambulances to be available and only used in serious emergencies
With distance assistance, the Ministry of Health has brought six babies to the world and saved lives thanks to an Israeli-based application within the 911 emergency system, which began to be used in February and which provides assistance through a video call. In addition to the six assisted deliveries, the agency has provided assistance to people with symptoms of heart attack and other cases, so it has reduced ambulance delivery by 42 percent. “We already have six deliveries assisted by video calling, we have assists of cardiorespiratory arrests, of identification of embolisms, successful assists in control of hemorrhages, identification of serious injuries. They identify the drowned bodies in Amistad Dam "All this has allowed ambulances to be available and only used in serious emergencies," said Eric Varela Cortés, deputy secretary of Emergency Medical Care. With this new system, ambulances will no longer be sent to crashes, run-ins, fainting, accidents at home, or any risk situation that warrants support from 911, and despite criticism for the lack of face-to-face medical attention and limited support of ambulances
