Smart Cities

[Jovani_Patterso]

I wanted to gauge the level of progression into the concept of smart cities. Since this is a relatively new concept, what have been the planning and technical challenges that have been encountered? Has Check Point been seen as a resource or leader in this this area? Are there any current  "Model Smart Cities"?

"A smart city is an urban area that uses different types of electronic data collection sensors to supply information which is used to manage assets and resources efficiently. This includes data collected from citizens, devices, and assets that is processed and analyzed to monitor and manage traffic and transportation systems, power plants, water supply networks, waste management, law enforcement, information systems, schools, libraries, hospitals, and other community services."
