BARCELONA, Spain, Feb. 27, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- AT&T* is
committed to help build smarter cities – in the U.S. and
abroad. We have signed an agreement with IDA Ireland and Dublin City Council to collaborate
and exchange information about smart cities solutions. This
initiative will foster an open dialogue of IoT best practices with
Ireland and Dublin, which is developing into a leading IoT
location.
As part of this collaboration with Ireland, we will also explore opportunities to
work with other organizations on IoT-related development projects
across the country, including Dublin's Docklands IoT project.
Smart cities solutions can offer citizens many benefits in
sustainability, transportation, public safety, infrastructure and
more. In fact, as part of our smart cities initiative in the U.S.,
we are currently working with several of our spotlight cities
including Atlanta, Chicago and Miami-Dade County on projects
ranging from water conservation to intelligent lighting to citizen
engagement.
"IoT solutions are already generating a measurable value for
businesses. And around the world, more cities are realizing
the impact IoT solutions can have on making their communities more
efficient, sustainable and enjoyable," said Mike Zeto, general manager, AT&T Smart
Cities. "As an IoT and smart cities leader, we're excited to lend
our passion, expertise and insights to help Dublin create a more connected city that will
have lasting benefits for current and future generations."
"IDA Ireland welcomes
AT&T's choice of Ireland as
the company's first international location for global Smart Cities
collaboration," said Martin
Shanahan, CEO, IDA Ireland.
"The availability of world class talent, excellent
infrastructure and openness from industry, academia and government
to collaborate, enables companies to deliver outstanding IoT
products and services. Companies are discovering that Ireland is small enough to trial, yet big
enough to prove their Internet of Things technologies and
solutions."
"Being smarter will be a defining characteristic
of tomorrow's leading cities. Dublin has the key ingredients and is
exploiting them to be at the forefront of smart city developments
leveraging our unique cluster of global technology companies,
thriving start-ups and research centres," said Owen Keegan, Chief Executive, Dublin City
Council. "Dublin City Council is delighted to collaborate with
AT&T, one of the world's leading technology companies, to
explore future smart city innovations."
