Smart City at Mobile World Congress 2014

Already, we get information about establishments and traffic jams on smartphones, navigators are building the best routes for us, while we complain about holes in the roads, we order goods to our home or office. What will be next? In this post - several technologies presented at the Mobile World Congress that can improve our life in the conditions of the city.

Automatic parking


Who remembers how Agent 007 drove his car with a mobile phone? Or there was some special device ... Ericsson introduced a technology that allows the car to park without your help. We drove up to the restaurant, got out of the car, pressed a button and went to eat - the car itself would find a place to park and he would stand on it.

The project has only one problem - a legal one: who will answer, if during the search for a parking place and the parking itself the car will touch someone.

Delivery in cars


We want to get the goods in hand. And if you need to leave the office for a meeting? Or the other end of the city to pick up a child from kindergarten? Ericsson once again drives a new idea on Volvo: the package is delivered directly to the car, wherever it is. You may not be in the car - the courier himself will be able to open the trunk using a smartphone, to which a one-time key will be sent. Now in Sweden products are delivered in this way.

An important component of the project is the one-time key in the smartphone. This technology can be used in various fields - to open doors in hotels, lockers in gyms and so on.

Parking search


A slightly less fantastic thing is the Park & ​​Pay system, which is included in the Volvo Sensus Connect package. The system is looking for the nearest paid parking and payment methods.

Smart home from AT & T


What is a smart city without smart houses? The operator AT & T offers round-the-clock home control, safety and even animal care. Home Automation Energy Management includes automatic locks controlled from a smartphone, automatic light on / off switch (cheating on thieves as if they didn’t leave the city), home-based robot.

Free lights


Philips offers the city to do the following: install LED lights to save energy without charge. The luminaires will be installed and will be serviced by Philips, but on one condition - the city will pay for electricity in the same amount until the investments are repulsed. The company made this project together with Ericsson - there will be a base station in the lamps.

Office base station


I have repeatedly had problems with communication in the office. I think I'm not alone in this. It is possible to cope with this problem: install an additional Internet Radio Dot base station directly in the office space to provide employees with the most comfortable mobile connection.

One such point will provide excellent communication in a room of about fifty square meters.
