Smart Cities and Government Initiatives: Countries Getting Future Proof
Governments across the GCC are taking initiatives to build Smart Cities using energy-efficient infrastructure and the possibilities for collecting big data and optimizing the efficacy of the Smart City System. Key to these endeavors will be Smart Homes, where the main focus will be Smart Lighting and Smart HVAC systems. Growth in these segments is projected to be very high because of this possible demand. Major Real estate developers are also partnering with IT firms to create apartments and villas compliant with the smart city initiatives of various governments. Emaar group and Xiaomi are a notable partnership where the Chinese giant’s smart technology will be a part of the Emaar group’s new residential real estate construction in the UAE.
5G and the Era of Efficient Smart Home Devices
Smart Home devices have witnessed a stigma that has turned off many potential users, in that addition of so many devices on the home internet network will lead to slow browsing for the users and inefficient communication for smart devices. 5G services and the higher the bandwidth of data transmission speed they will offer showcases potential for efficient and non-disruptive data communication for smart devices and users on the network itself. 5G and Cellular IoT services will help improve data transmission speeds between devices while allowing the devices to consumer lower energy and thus become more energy efficient. Brands like STC, du, Etisalat and others have launched 5G services across the GCC and leave an open opportunity for partnerships and creating devices that leverage the speed that 5G networks can offer, thus expanding the scope for Smart Homes in the Future.
The Pandemic and the Slowdown on Global Economies
The novel Corona virus pandemic has affected all major industries by slowing down supply chains, limiting retail interaction and slowing down even online end to end delivers for non-essential purchasing. Smart Home and IT firms have also taken hits, with production lines slowing down and customer purchases decreasing. Saudi Arabia and the UAE are severely impacted as compared to other GCC members, with 4500+ and 4000+ infected cases in each country respectively. During these difficult times Smart Devices can be leveraged to share important information and measure essential vitals for their users. Smart speakers and phones can be updated to passively collect, analyze and transmit health information to local health authorities. Smart Speakers can also be used to analyze speech and cough patterns and present the user with a symptom survey then connect the patent to the nearest government help center if required.
