Building the Smart Connected City – Piloting a Landmark FTTH Inner City Project at 1 Gbps

Partnership for Urban Innovation

Global Conference 2010

June 17-18, 2010 Shanghai, China

IN THE BEGINNING

“The coming of the global village will inevitably mean that the city

as a form of major dimensions must inevitably dissolve like the

fading shot in a movie.” Marshall McLuhan, media theorist (1964)

ICT AND THE COLLAPSE OF

CITIES?

“The era of the computer and the communications satellite is

inhospitable to the high density city.” Anthony Pascal: The

Vanishing City, (1987)

IN THE FUTURE

“In many ways, if cities did not exist, it now would not be necessary

to invent them.” Naisbitt and Aburdene (1991).

BUT FOR THE MOMENT …

“At the moment, it is as if we occupy two worlds at once, especially

in our congested cities: the physical world of clogged roads, which

is inefficient, slow moving, rigid, and the immaterial world of

computers and communications in which we can work at the touch

of a button. The ease of use and responsiveness of the new,

immaterial economy will make us increasingly frustrated with our

experience of the cumbersome old economy of physical machines

and roads.” Charles Leadbeater, (2000)

SMART CONNECTED HEALTH AND

WELLNESS• With more than 5000 households and all of

the institutional health care providers in the

region connected to a common, fiber-based

gigabit infrastructure, the University Circle

Innovation Zone will partner with both

healthcare and technology providers on

enabling new, networked-based home

healthcare delivery options through the

integrated services platform.

• Increase personalized health care options

through real-time or near real-time reporting

and integration of healthcare information

with EMR.

• Focused programmatic services efforts in

smart, connected healthcare and wellness in

areas such as sensor-based environmental

health for asthmatics, allergy, and related

hypertension, obesity, pulmonary conditions,

Type 2 diabetes and personalized health

strategies

• Partners will include both the research and

clinical care teams at the Cleveland Clinic,

Metro Health, and University Hospitals

through neighborhood outreach and

partnership initiatives.

SMART. CONNECTED. LEARNING.• With more than 5000 households and an

unprecedented network of formal high schools,

charter schools, libraries, science museums, public

broadcasters, technology partners, and a coalition of

university-based science educators all connected to

a common, fiber-based gigabit infrastructure, the

University Circle Innovation Zone will partner on

enabling new, networked-based STEM education

support through peer-to-peer, mentors, after-school,

and community-based learning services support to

increase the success of completion of STEM-related

subjects in high school.

• A coalition including, M2CSTEM High School, Great

Lakes Science Center, Cuyahoga County Public

Enabling an “Internet of

Things”

• Direct-to-internet connectivity where possible. Store and forward where not.

• Embedded systems and gateways are a key part of the innovation potential.

New Sensor Modalities

• Wireless and wired sensors communicating from within the environment to external sources and users

Nearly ubiquitous

middleware

• Data Fusion - Algorithms for collection, data uniformity

• Heirarchical (client-server) and non-heirarchical(peer-to-peer) model support

Interface Models
