Smart City Infrastructure

Connect the urban grid. Architect IoT networks for traffic, waste, and energy management using LoRaWAN and 5G.

Cities are becoming computers. This course covers the technology layer of urban planning. You will architect IoT sensor networks to monitor air quality, traffic flow, and energy usage. Learn to use LoRaWAN for city-wide low-power coverage and 5G for high-bandwidth camera feeds. We explore data platforms for aggregating millions of city signals and privacy-preserving analytics. Essential for engineers working with municipalities or GovTech.
