The Challenge
The City of Greater Dandenong was looking to reduce costs and began a review of cloud-based enterprise mobility management solutions. They were seeking a better platform than the one they had deployed four years ago. The city was facing significant budgetary constraints, like many governments worldwide. They needed a solution that could address their content management, app deployment, and security needs, and was easier to manage.
About The Customer
The City of Greater Dandenong is recognized as the capital of Melbourne’s south-east region. With a thriving population of 140,000 people, Greater Dandenong is a vibrant and welcoming city. It is also home to a thriving manufacturing and business sector. Locally, Greater Dandenong is an exciting multicultural community, with more than half of the city’s residents born overseas. This diversity brings a wealth of culture, faith, language, and knowledge, all of which are seen as a source of vitality and strength for the city.
The Solution
Working with Advent One, the City of Greater Dandenong in Australia reduced costs by replacing a legacy enterprise mobility management solution with a more cost-effective solution from IBM. The IBM solution addressed the city's content management, app deployment, and security needs. The solution components included IBM MaaS360 Gateway Suite, IBM MaaS360 Management Suite, and IBM MaaS360 Productivity Suite. The solution was delivered by IBM Business Partner Advent One.

Turning A Stadium Into A Smart Building
Honeywell created what it called the “intelligent system” for the National Stadium in Beijing, China, turning the venue for the opening and closing events at the 2008 Summer Olympics into a “smart building.” Designed by highly controversial artist Ai Weiwei, the “Bird’s Nest” remains one of the most impressive feats of stadium architecture in the world. The 250,000 square meter structure housed more than 100,000 athletes and spectators at a time. To accommodate such capacity, China turned to Honeywell’s EBI Integrated Building Management System to create an integrated “intelligent system” for improved building security, safety and energy efficiency.

Buoy Status Monitoring with LoRa
The Netherlands are well-known for their inland waterways, canals, sluices and of course port activities. The Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure indicates that there are thousands of buoys and fixed items in and near water environments that would profit from IoT monitoring. One of the problems with buoys for example, is that they get hit by ships and the anchor cable breaks. Without connectivity, it takes quite some time to find out that something has happened with that buoy. Not to mention the costs of renting a boat to go to the buoy to fix it. Another important issue, is that there is no real-time monitoring of the buoys at this moment. Only by physically visiting the object on the water, one gains insight in its status.

China Mobile Smart Parking
Smart Parking, powered by NB-IoT technology, is making it easier for drivers to find free parking spots. Cities can better manage their parking assets and maximize the revenue available to them as a result. Drivers searching for parking create congestion and pollution by circling and hunting for available parking. Smart Parking services are able to significantly ease these problems by guiding a driver directly to a parking space.

Barcelona Case Study
Barcelona’s heavy traffic and its associated high levels of pollution were the primary factors that motivated some companies and universities to work on strategies for improving traffic in the city centre. Bitcarrier is one of the technologies involved in the In4Mo Project, whose main objective is to develop the applications that form the core of smart mobility, one of the fundamental pillars of the smart city concept.
