Enhanced mobilityAspirationHow can we allow our population to move around Singapore in thesafest, most efficient, most cost-effective and most comfortable waypossible?Things that we are working onITS framework and standards development• IDA launched a public consultation on ITS Framework and ITS-DSRC

Standards in Dec 2015• Finalised ITS Framework and Standards will be used by Singapore’s

new electronic road pricing systemSelf-driving vehicles to supplement our transport system• One-North test site launched in Jan 2015• LTA launched RFIs for AV solutions to meet future transport needs

Better homes and environmentAspirationHow can we leverage technology to create homes andestates that are comfortable, convenient and safe forour residents to live in?

Things that we are working onLaunched Smart Yuhua as brownfield site•HDB and IDA working on a large-scale smart homesolutions (~3,200 households)•Trial to be launched in 2016

Developing Punggol town as a Smart Nation greenfieldprecinct

Better Health, Successful Ageing

AspirationHow can we leverage technology to improve healthcareoutcomes, while keeping healthcare affordable, especially forour ageing population?

Things that we are working onTele-health trials underway•Most recent trial being remote vital signs monitoring forhypertensive patients•Learning points to contribute to national deployment

Massive undertaking for Successful Aging•$3b action plan

IoT is a key enabler for Singapore’s visionto be a Smart Nation•Beyond economic opportunities, IoT can also enrich the quality of life

for citizens

“Our bottom-up analysis forthe applications we sizeestimates that IoT has atotal potential economicimpact of $3.9 trillion to$11.1 trillion a year by2025”McKinsey (2015).

2 Regulatory Framework for IoT

Regulating IoT might not be straightforward• Different scales of deployment• Different communication models

Several regulators are looking at common challengesposed by IoT• Five key IoT areas are examined to explore some of the most pressingchallenges and questions related to IoT

Security

Spectrum &ResourceAllocation

Data Protection

Interoperabilityand standards Licensing

Minimising cyber security breaches through closecollaboration• Multi-stakeholder approach will be key but need to manage consumerexpectations

smart devices at home

i. Complex land scape–no one size fits allsecurity policy for all IoT devices(e.g. Fitbit vsSmart Grid)ii. Telecom regulators will have to work closelywith cyber security agencies and industryplayersiii. Companies should implement security bydesign(e.g., security to extend throughout lifecycle of product; access controls)iv. Consumer and business education on cybersecurity will be important(e.g. regular changingof passwords)

Protecting Personal Data to enhance consumertrust in IoT• Regulation and public education will be key to safeguard consumerinterest

i. Companies will have to comply withSingapore’s Personal DataProtection Act(2012),includingthose which are collecting personaldata from IoT

ii. Companies should strive to adopt“data protection by design” as adefault for all development

iii. Public education will be key to safeguard consumer interest
