IoT in the Smart City

This is our Meetup #38

Steve Blackmore of Ingram Micro will join us to outline their business, types of customer, product portfolio and the projects they are involved with.

We'll folllow on with a discussion about Smart City applications:

What is the purpose of a Smart City? Is it for citizens, council service managers, building managers, transport planners, technology vendors?

We'll explore the applications, systems and what measures of success can be used.

Satellite Broadband from Starlink

Also joining us will be Mike Blennerhassett who is an early adopter user of Starlink. He'll explain how it operates and the practical performance in a rural NZ location.
