The 4 S’s of Transformative Infrastructure

City officials and transportation leaders around the world are looking for innovative ways to enhance public safety, optimize infrastructure, and drive smarter urban environments in the digital age. At the core of this transformation is the need for intelligent solutions that can integrate into existing deployments while offering room to grow. While there are hundreds of potential solutions, how can you know if a given solution will be an effective deployment for your city?

At AT&T, we’ve learned through years of research and development that strong solutions embody four main pillars: scalability, security, sustainability, and stability—also known as the 4 S’s. AT&T IoT Video Intelligence—our service that allows for transmission of surveillance footage and data over cellular networks—is a cutting-edge offering that encompasses these four S’s. Let’s examine how each “S” is represented through the AT&T IoT Video Intelligence solution.

Scalability: A Solution That Grows Alongside Your City

As your city expands and evolves, so too must the technologies that support it. From the start, you can implement AT&T IoT Video Intelligence on a smaller scale—perhaps focusing on a key area, like traffic monitoring. The solution can then be scaled to cover more regions or incorporate more endpoints. For example, a smart city might initially deploy AT&T IoT Video Intelligence in a handful of high-traffic areas, but as the infrastructure grows, the technology can extend to cover public transportation hubs, emergency response centers, public spaces, and more.

Security: Protecting Your City from Threats

Cyber threats are continuously on the rise, so security is paramount for any city looking to integrate IoT solutions. AT&T IoT Video Intelligence offers robust protection with up to AES-256 encryption at the packet level, which is suitable for many applications. With end-to-end security measures, you can confidently rely on IoT Video Intelligence to help you monitor public spaces, detect anomalies in near real-time, and support video investigations.

Sustainability: Invest Today, Succeed Tomorrow

With an increasing focus on sustainability, you may be feeling the pressure to adopt technologies that will stand the test of time. AT&T IoT Video Intelligence can help deliver in the present while being built to adapt for the future. The solution platform can integrate into both new and existing systems, helping to ensure that your city can stay on the cutting edge without requiring a complete infrastructure overhaul.

Stability: A Reliable Provider for the Long Haul

The solutions that you choose need to perform consistently, day in and day out, and AT&T has built a reputation as a stable and dependable provider for public and private entities alike. This foundation of trust means that cities implementing AT&T IoT Video Intelligence are supported by a network of reliable experts with a proven track record. Whether it’s technical support, network reliability, or ongoing innovation, AT&T’s relationship extends far beyond installation, ensuring you have the resources and expertise your city needs to maintain optimal performance over time.

In Conclusion

The digital transformation of cities is a complex process, but solutions like AT&T IoT Video Intelligence provide an easily-adoptable solution that can integrate into existing systems, which can help enable your city to grow, protect your citizens, and remain agile in the face of future challenges. By investing in solutions that embody the 4 S’s, you can feel confident that you’re making a strategic investment in the future of your city and build smarter, safer, and more sustainable urban environments.
