Uma Rede WiFi Aberta de Larga Escala como Infraestrutura para Cidades Inteligentes
Abstract
Smart cities need a complex infrastructure for providing services to their citizens and the most underlying one is connectivity to the Internet with adequate levels of access, availability and performance. The municipality of São Paulo started in 2014 the deployment of a free WiFi service in plazas distributed over different city regions. This paper analyzes data coming from service providers and SIMET Box installed in each plaza. Initial results show that on the one hand planning is resulting in adequate service levels in some situations, but on the other hand improvements must be made for guaranteeing adequate service levels for becoming the foundation for a smart city.
