Building and maintaining smart city infrastructure isn't only about connecting devices, it's about ensuring uninterrupted, high-performance communication in environments filled with wireless signals. Traffic management systems, surveillance networks, and environment sensors all demand low-latency, high-throughput data exchange, but interference from overlapping Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and other networks creates reliability issues. Add in the challenge of scaling these networks while keeping robust security, and it's clear that off-the-shelf, standard connectivity solutions often fall short in real-world use cases.

The key to overcoming these challenges is in advanced wireless systems that leverage Wi-Fi 6 and 6E with ODFMA and MU-MIMO for high-density environments, along with low-power, long-range Bluetooth and LoRaWAN for asset tracking and remote sensors. Pre-certified wireless modules and connected SOMs deliver the performance, security, and scalability needed to support the next generation of smart city applications. Read the full application story to see how these solutions can optimize urban connectiivty.
