As urban areas continue to grow, the challenges for governments and public institutions regarding the supply of electricity are also increasing.
Creating a smart grid is integral to support smart infrastructure for your city. Smart grids are modernised electricity grids that interact with technology and infrastructure to increase the transparency of energy use and efficiency for consumers. Smart grids allow vehicles, homes and companies to collaborate and share energy. Cutting-edge sensors collect data about consumers' energy usage and requirements so efficiency can be monitored and continually improved.
Major differences between a traditional grid and a smart grid
Traditional Grid
- One way communication between the electricity provider and end user
- Energy is only transferred by the main powerplant
- Energy consumption is manually monitored with little ability to regulate, leading to inefficient power distribution and overconsumption
- Failure of infrastructure can lead to power outages
Smart Grid
- Two way communication between the electricity provider and end user
- Alternative energy providers (domestic solar and wind) can transfer energy to consumers using the grid
- Ability to self-regulate as individual energy consumption is monitored digitally down to the tiniest detail for both energy providers and consumers
- More efficient, more reliable, more secure, and “greener.”

Smart cities use IoT devices such as connected sensors, lights, and meters to collect and analyze data. The cities then use this data to improve infrastructure, public utilities, services and more.
Fiber-optic cable is ideal to accommodate today's smart city applications as well as future technologies. The existence of fiber optic cables opened the opportunities to have ultra-broadband and low latency communication in cities as opposed to the traditional copper cable network, which had its own limitations.
