CJ Boguszewski gave a presentation on how Silver Spring Networks provides a proven, scalable, and open machine-to-machine network fabric to help cities implement smart technologies. He discussed how their network meets foundational requirements like reliability, security, and open standards. It can support a variety of smart city applications from street lighting to traffic management. Mobile networks are not well-suited for ubiquitous machine-to-machine communications. Silver Spring's network-as-a-service model and software-defined sensors allow for drag-and-drop smart city solutions that help cities compete through improved quality of life.
