Electronic communications as smart city enablers

This paper deals with the electronic communications as the enabler in realizing the concept of smart cities. Communication and networking requirements are discussed within a proposed model of smart city functional components and classification proposal for connected smart objects and their characteristics. General issues and relationships between electronic communications regulation and smart city implementation, as well as specific topics related to the Internet of Things are elaborated.
