Barcelona, November 7, 2018 – Secure digital infrastructure that makes smart living possible and profitable, is more relevant than ever. However, cities must manage economic constraints, the effects of rapid urbanization and challenges of environmental sustainability. They also have to address evolving citizen expectations for public safety, health, wellbeing and accessibility.

At Smart City Expo World Congress 2018 next week, Cisco will show its commitment to help global cities become digital and smart to cut costs, drive efficiencies, create new business models and enable better quality of life for residents and visitors.

Cisco solutions are enabling connectivity, productivity and security in communities, transportation, education, healthcare and local government around the world. Cisco expects a large presence with a 300-square-meter booth, solution demos, multiple speaking sessions, customer events, partner activities and more.

Digital Platform for Cities

By securely connecting and enabling communities, Cisco and its partners help enhance standards of living, improve public engagement, reduce operational costs, increase management efficiencies, create new revenue streams, and ensure environmental sustainability and economic vitality.
