Huawei will be hosting their inaugural Safe City Africa Summit under the theme “Innovative ICT, Make Safe City Smarter” in Cape Town, South Africa, from 28 to 29 April, 2015.
Public safety and social stability is a rising concern as urbanization continues to rise. There is a growing need for cities to look for ways of increasing its operational efficiencies and improving quality of life, while providing sustainable infrastructure and services. An efficient communication network involving the cooperation of emergency services, law enforcers, corporations and individuals is needed to. This is where the concept for a safe city comes in. Recent developments in technology have yielded smarter technology, allowing public service providers to gather greater quantities of data, interpret them faster and react more quickly. The result is a smart approach with state-of-the-art observation, communication and information management, creating a safe city with an intuitive, educated response to crisis situations.
The summit will provide a platform for customers, partners, and industry experts to share ideas on trends, global practices and expertise – all of which lead the way to safe cities.
Some of the topics to be addressed at the summit include:
- The Importance of Public Safety to a Community
- Global Trends and Standards When Instituting a Safe City Strategy
