As U.S. cities and communities become more intelligent, they require a stronger and more resilient communications infrastructure to effectively utilize data. Michael Pegues, the CIO of Aurora, IL, is spearheading a significant modernization initiative to transform his community into a leading smart city. He shares his vision, best practices, and the lessons he has learned along the way in this GTI article. https://bit.ly/3MFpZKN #smartcities #digitalinclusion #digitaltransformation

As cities worldwide grapple with rapid urbanization, the need for efficient, sustainable, and connected infrastructure has become paramount. However, siloed planning and development approaches often lead to fragmented systems, inefficient resource allocation, and suboptimal services for citizens. The solution lies in an integrated approach that leverages the power of geospatial technologies to analyze and understand the intricate interconnections between various urban systems, such as transportation, energy, water, and social infrastructure.   At the 15th Geospatial World Forum (GWF), Infrastructure Summit 2024, 「BONNY MCCLAiN」 “rub some data in it” , Geospatial Analyst Global Impact Assessment, USA, will deliver a Insightful talk on "The Role of Integrated Geospatial Technologies in Enabling Connected City Infrastructure." Join us at the Geospatial World Forum (GWF) Infrastructure Summit 2024 to explore the transformative power of geospatial technologies in creating smart, connected, and sustainable cities that prioritize citizen well-being and environmental stewardship.   Register now: https://lnkd.in/dcpqEAeq Geospatial World #smartcities #digitalcity #infrastructure #infrastructuredevelopment #sustainability #innovation #Industry4.0 #GWF2024

News Alert: City of Aurora is investing nearly $1.4 million to expand its fiber optics network to additional parts of its water system. This move follows an accelerated fiber expansion that began in 2022. Aurora has been using National Technologies (NTI), a Network Connex Company as its fiber provider since 2018, and according to a memo from city staff, the company "has exceeded expectations" for the city. NTI conducted a fiber optic audit on the city's network, providing extensive knowledge of the infrastructure. The audit information was then added to Esri ArcMap and VETRO, Inc. software, which provides the city with a comprehensive fiber map. This expansion is a significant step towards improved communication infrastructure for the city. #AuroraIL #FiberOptics #CommunicationInfrastructure Read the full article from Government Technology: https://lnkd.in/gTxE6Xgi Richard Irvin Alex G.
