The 7 Things I Know About Cyber Security After 25 Years | April 2024
Wireless City
1.
2. Support for High-quality •Traffic Monitoring, Video Surveillance etc requires reliable and high quality video streaming
•Existing infrastructure is limited in supporting high-quality video
Video Transmission •Overtaxed shared infrastructure and limited bandwidth
Limited or Unavailable •Lack of wired infrastructure due to high costs, limited physical feasibility, vulnerability to
Wired Reach vandalism
Multiple Applications •Support applications like Transit Management, Traffic control, Emergency management etc.
according to priority and other considerations.
Support and Integration •Smooth integration of diverse applications and flexibility to add new applications.
High Deployment Costs •Cost to lay copper or fiber for extremely reliable, bandwidth intensive, high-quality
(CAPEX) infrastructure is significant.
High Operating Costs •High cost of Leased E1/T1 lines and their maintenance.
(OPEX)
Time Consuming •Deployment of wired network in city takes huge time as getting approval and licenses for
Deployment trenching or aerial cable takes time and may delay project deployment.
Limited Flexibility for •Once cables are in place, relocation, additions, revisions or rerouting are formidable challenges
Changes and Rerouting •Cost factors, regulatory issues and new trenching issues are associated with the same
•Wired networks do not inherently support pay-as-you-grow models
Scalability •Addition of devices or other bandwidth intensive applications require more investment of time
and resources

4. Intelligent Traffic • Balance traffic loads, reduce accidents rates, and provide
Management driver alerts on road conditions
• Interactive remote education via shared or dedicated
e-Education networks, enabling remote school connectivity
Residential Internet • Low cost alternative to residents versus costly commercial
Service services
Automatic Meter • Effeminately collection of the information and save on
Reading costs
Managed Video • For commercial customers like Malls, Multiplexes etc.
Surveillance
• Electronic Advertisements & Remote Advertisement
Digital Signage Management
Multimodal Traveler • Paid Traveler information for corporate
Information
5. Private Networks can be designed and operated to provide
required level of reliability, availability, and security.
Public networks, on the other hand, are designed to deliver
acceptable performance to as many commercial end-users as
possible and are inherently built to address the commercial
market.
When emergencies arise, carrier and operator networks
fast become overloaded and mission-critical emergency
applications can cease operating.
In a privately-owned and operated safe city network, the city
can control traffic, define priorities and make sure that the
network is always available for the critical applications when
they are needed.
Private networks cost less to operate than leased networks.
6. • PTP topology permits communications between two points.
Point-to-Point • Coverage can reach tens of kilometers supporting a high capacity
(PTP) PTP link.
• PTP topology is suitable for both public and private networks.
7. Point-to-Multipoint
(PtMP) and Mesh
Topology
PtMP topology, also
known as Star topology,
consists of a central
base station which
concentrates the flow of
multiple CPEs.
In a mesh topology data
is routed between
nodes, hopping from
node to node until the
destination is reached.
