"In every smart city project, one of the most important layers is connectivity, which is the city-wide network infrastructure that facilitates the data flow between devices and the central monitoring platform," said Avishar Dutta, Mobility Senior Research Analyst at Frost & Sullivan. "Additionally, to reduce the cost of setting up such a network, low-power wide-area network technology is seeing adoption to make smart city projects feasible for small urban areas."

Dutta  added: "The main market growth drivers are regulations that mandate the biggest cities to reduce their carbon emissions in a timely manner. Further, these regulations demand public spending in smart city investments, and governments are sanctioning smart city projects at an increasing pace, driving competitive intensity."

The demand for smart city solutions with increasing applications across areas presents lucrative growth opportunities for market participants:

• Autonomous mobility: Smart city solution providers should offer solutions that include vehicle-to-infrastructure and vehicle-to-vehicle communication devices.
• Future city planning: Municipal authorities should consider the capabilities of smart city solutions to increase a city's quality of living and harvest data to visualize how to plan out the city for the future.
• Smart infrastructure: The mapping of cities to prepare them for autonomous vehicle services is also a market opportunity for smart city solution providers and can be included in smart city solutions.
