With urban pressures increasing year by year, the Smart City concept has been developed as an approach to sustainable urban development. A growing number of governments worldwide are building Smart Cities via an impressive array of leading-edge ICT technologies, such as cloud computing, the Internet of Things (IoT), Big Data, and mobility. These technologies aggregate, share, and converge city-wide resources to provide real-time, efficient, and intelligent information services.
Smart Cities are reshaping the ways in which public services are provided and managed, transforming how residents travel, work, study, interact, consume products and services, and entertain.
This white paper talks about how the role and position of Huawei in Smart Cities is and its offerings to enable smart cities.
Please wait a few seconds before the redirection takes place.

How do you upgrade your critical public safety backhaul network in a way that will assure the effectiveness of your first responders and the safety of your citizens – now and for decades to come? You may want to look to the State of Michigan for a great example of how it is done.
There’s no doubt that a reliable, mission-critical public safety backhaul network must be resilient in order to ensure uninterrupted radio communications for first responders in the face of severe storms, floods, terrorism and any type of unexpected emergencies. It also must be fully interoperable between agencies, and ready to handle the increasing volumes of voice, video and data traffic that place substantial demands on older networks as land mobile (LMR) systems are upgraded.
Coming up short in time critical scenarios is not an option for first responders. So, in 2014, Michigan’s Public Safety Communications System (MPSCS) began working with Nokia to upgrade its legacy LMR backhaul infrastructure. It was a statewide project. Covering 59,415 square miles, with 245 radio towers and more than 80,000 radios, MPSCS’s network serves local, state, federal, tribal and private first responders with 700/800 MHz mutual aid land mobile radio (LMR), simulcast systems and Inter-zone statewide communications.
The overall goal was a broadband backhaul network carrying critical voice and enhanced data communications. To meet the stringent resiliency and quality of service requirements, cutting-edge Internet Protocol/Multiprotocol Label Switching (IP/MPLS) and packet microwave systems would be deployed in the network to reliably securely support the P25-based public safety digital radio with integrated voice and data capability. Adding to the challenge, Michigan and Nokia needed to gracefully transition all legacy time division multiplexing (TDM)-based LMR traffic to the IP/MPLS network without interruptions to radio users. Therefore, the new network also had to support flexible multi-service requirements (Ethernet, IP and TDM), with deterministic QoS, along with unified end-to-end service management of network resources, and extensive microwave link monitoring and control via automatic event collection, as well as alarm, status and performance data.
Michigan’s new IP/MPLS network is already live, providing high-capacity connections between hundreds of public safety facilities. A multi-ring network topology powered by IP/MPLS provides multiple dynamic paths over which critical traffic can be routed, even after multiple disruptive events. This ensures superior resiliency in the event of attacks or failures from weather, fires, cyberattacks and other emergencies, while preserving essential communications for response, recovery and operational continuity.
True to spec, the new backhaul network offers greatly simplified management, along with a highly scalable and reliable foundation for more advanced public safety communications capabilities in the future – for the near term, possibly incorporating security video or SCADA, as well as using the backhaul capability for state police aviation, and enhanced partnerships with rural first-responder agencies, power companies and entities in the U.S. such as FirstNet, the FBI and the Drug Enforcement Agency.
By upgrading its critical LMR backhaul infrastructure, Michigan has successfully created a reliable, secure and flexible public safety backhaul network for today and tomorrow.

If you’ve had a recent bereavement, or there’s someone in the family suffering from a critical illness, we know that worrying about phone bills is the last thing on your mind. That’s why we want the process of contacting us about it to be as simple, quick and painless as possible – so that when you do get in touch, there’ll be one less thing to worry about.
Want to know what you should do if the worst should happen? We’ve been speaking to Tom Brammer, Customer Relations Team Leader at Vodafone UK, to find out…
“There are a number of ways that customers can contact us for a bereavement,” Tom Says. “If they want to contact us by phone, any of our agents will have the skill and knowledge to record all the relevant information for you.
“So if you dial 191 from a Vodafone phone you can speak to anyone about bereavement, but there’s also a dedicated line for bereavement and for critical illness: 03333 048050.”
Don’t feel like talking? No problem. “There’s also an online form here, which should be able to let you input all the information you need. Sometimes we’ll need to call you back, but we don’t want to be harassing people during a difficult time so we do try and keep everything as simple as we can.
“The operating hours that we advise our customers to contact us on is nine to five, Monday to Saturday, however the team here are available from 8am up until 9pm.”
“For a bereavement,” Tom explains, “there are a couple of different scenarios to consider. If you’ve got a UK-based death certificate, we’ll only require the death certificate reference – we don’t require a copy of the certificate itself.
“If the customer has died abroad then we would require a copy of the death certificate, in which case we’ll give you a postal address to send it to, or an email address, which is monitored throughout the day.”
“Once notified, we’ll remove any outstanding debts, so if a customer had been unable to pay, we’ll remove that from their account at the point of contact. However; if money has already been coming out of the account, we’ll only be able to disconnect the account from the time we get notified.”
“One thing we do differently to some of the other networks – we’ll cancel the line free of charge and allow people to keep any devices or hardware that are associated with that – whether that’s a phone, dongle, Wi-Fi router or anything else.”
“Some people ask to use the deceased’s phone for a while after the fact, and in that case, we can certainly transfer a Pay monthly account over to a family member, after going through all the necessary checks.
“That way they can still use the number; we don’t want to interrupt that service unnecessarily because we know people might want to keep a certain voicemail, while some friends and family members may still try to contact the deceased if they’ve not been informed.”
“Critical illness works similarly,” Tom explains. “You can call on the same number (03333 048050) and it doesn’t matter if you’re not the account holder, but if you’re calling on their behalf. You’ll need to have their personal details to hand for us to help and we require documentation stating what the illness it is, and based on that we’ll follow a similar process.”
“Overall, Tom says in closing, “we want things to be as simple as possible all round, and we’re currently in a process of trying to make the process even smoother.”
What should you do if your phone is lost or stolen? Find out who to call and what happens next.
