IoT technology has been a driving force behind the development of smart cities since their inception. IoT technology will continue to grow as more countries adopt next-generation connectivity, and it will have a greater impact on our lives. Connected sensors, lights, and meters are some of the IoT devices in smart cities that collect and analyze data. As a result, cities use this data to improve infrastructure, utilities, and other city services.
It is possible to create clever energy grids, automated waste management systems, smart homes, advanced security systems, traffic management mechanisms, water conservation mechanisms, smart lighting, and more with the help of the IoT. IoT has added a new layer of artificial intelligence and innovation to public utilities and urban planning, allowing them to be highly intuitive. These innovations have led to the emergence of smart homes and cities.
