Imagine sensor-powered alert systems for hazards like storms and wildfires, smart utility networks powering more efficient grids and meters, and smart traffic management solutions delivering real-time data on congestion, detours, and available parking.

Communities are bringing smart public services, connected utilities, and smart transportation solutions like these to life every day. But one big challenge is knowing where to start, particularly in terms of wireless services and technology.

At "Connected Community Deployments: From Strategy to Reality," you'll:

Learn about CTIA's free online wireless assessment tool, to identify seamless pathways to your next connected deployment.
Gain insights into IoT Network Certified for Smart Connected Infrastructure,™a first-of-its-kind program designed specifically to support cellular-enabled connectivity. It's based on NIST and 3GPP standards with testing for cybersecurity and industrial IoT devices.
Take home your own Connectivity Workbook, which shows how city stakeholders nationwide are using cellular networks to securely deploy scalable connected IoT devices and connect their communities
