The Challenge
Quang Trung Software City (QTSC), a government-run software development park in Vietnam, was facing a significant challenge in provisioning security services for its rapidly growing population. The park, which is the largest IT park in Vietnam with over 3,000 occupants, was struggling to manage the ever-increasing security threats with a small IT staff. The existing security solution was not scalable enough to deliver services to the many companies comprising the software technology park. QTSC needed to ensure that their users have secure access to corporate resources. The challenge was to upgrade to a scalable, sophisticated security solution that could handle the increasing security threats without adding administrative burden.
About The Customer
Quang Trung Software City (QTSC) is a government-run software development park, office, and housing complex in Vietnam. It is the largest IT park in the country, covering 430,000 square meters and housing over 3,000 occupants. The park is part of the Vietnamese government's plan to develop their nation’s software development industry. QTSC is made up of more than 100 corporations and 30 investment firms and is on a rapid growth trajectory. The park required a scalable, easy-to-manage security solution to protect its expanding population and to deliver services to the many companies comprising the software technology park.
The Solution
QTSC chose Check Point's virtualized security architecture to address their security challenges. The solution included VPN-1 VSX, VPN-1 UTM, IAS Integrated Appliance, and Provider-1. The virtualized solution was adaptable for future growth and was deployed on Check Point's IAS Integrated Appliances. Check Point's solution provided key firewall and security management infrastructure for the entire software park. It included internal firewalls, firewalls for several large clients, and VPN-1 UTM to protect their lab environment. With Provider-1, QTSC could optimize its security management on one console for multiple domains. The solution was implemented over the course of four weeks, providing protection for more than 3,000 users within QTSC.

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.
