To help solve those and other challenges, the IEEE Smart Cities Technical Community (formerly the IEEE Smart Cities Initiative) was launched in 2013 by IEEE Future Directions, which incubates emerging technologies and new applications of current ones.
Thanks to volunteers’ dedication and determination, IEEE Smart Cities launched several services.
To address the situation, the IEEE Technical Activities Board (TAB) created the second-generation technical community ad hoc committee, also in 2021.
It was a pilot program whereby IEEE Smart Cities formed a board of governors to oversee the community’s operations and leadership, and created a policies and procedures manual.
IEEE Smart Cities volunteers are working on launching journals.

Gasgoo Munich- NavInfo has secured a roughly 100.26 million yuan contract to supply roadside intelligent perception equipment for Beijing's "Dual Smart" City 4.0 project in Fangshan District.
Image source: NavInfo This marks the first direct contract NavInfo has won as the lead bidder for roadside perception equipment under the city's 4.0 phase.
The focus has shifted — rather than serving vehicle-road autonomous driving, the project now targets smart city and traffic management.
NavInfo said the win validates both its underlying data capabilities and its ability to deliver roadside perception systems.
Moving from the "spatiotemporal base" of Tongzhou's 3.0 phase to the "perception delivery" of Fangshan's 4.0 phase, NavInfo is leveraging high-definition maps to build an end-to-end capability chain — from raw data to roadside perception.

SMART CITIES DIVE: What makes a place a genuine climate haven as opposed to simply a place that has fewer hazards than somewhere else?
During the interview process [for the research paper], someone said you could call some random place in Saskatchewan a climate haven, but there's no real economy there.
Just calling themselves a climate haven doesn't help.
And then water resilience — water scarcity issues or maybe too much water.
Is it fair to say climate haven is more of a process — something that needs to be actively worked on — than a geographic designation?

With terrestrial cellular IoT and Iridium satellite connectivity on a single chipset, device manufacturers, module makers and mobile network operators (MNOs) will be able to extend IoT connectivity beyond the reach of terrestrial networks through the Iridium satellite network, without adding a separate satellite modem to their designs.
Extending Cellular IoT Connectivity Beyond Terrestrial Networks The partnership combines Altair’s cellular IoT chipset technology, among the most highly integrated low-power connectivity solutions available, with Iridium’s 3GPP standards-based non-terrestrial network (NTN) service, giving device manufacturers another chipset option for products that need connectivity beyond terrestrial cellular coverage.
“As a market leader in satellite IoT, Iridium is offering device manufacturers a powerful new way to develop connected products.
“With Iridium’s truly global LEO satellite connectivity alongside terrestrial cellular, device manufacturers can more easily develop solutions that will reliably work anywhere they’re deployed.”
Altair joins a growing ecosystem of partners bringing the Iridium NTN Direct service to market.
