Smart Cities
“A smart city is a system of systems – water, power, transportation, emergency response,
built environment, etc.– with each one affecting all the others. In the last few years, we’ve
refined our ability to merge multiple data streams and mine them for amazing insights. It is
those insights – presenting, perfecting and predicting – that enhance the liveability,
workability and sustainability of a smart city.”

Expected population distribution
Population Energy
Cities consume
high amounts of
energy. About
75% of world total
CO2
&
Environment
80% of green-
house gas
emissions are
generated in cities
By 2050 70% of
world population
will live in cities.
Today it’s 50%
Connectivity
In 2020, expect
more than 50
billion connected
devices
The transportation
sector is expected
to grow more than
any other in 2020

The future of cities
How can I reduce energy use in my city?
How can I improve mobility in my city?
How can I make neighbourhoods safer in my city?
How can I deliver enough clean water to my city?
How can I accelerate economic development in my city?
Smart Cities Council
Questions for todays cities
» Energy-saving
– Intelligent power-saving street-lights that brighten as a pedestrian or cyclist approaches (Glasgow)
» Improved mobility
– City congestion charges applied to vehicles during peak periods reduces traffic by up to 25%, increases use of
public transport and reduces pollution (Stockholm)
– Traffic light systems allow an emergency vehicle to follow a green-light route through the city to reduce
response times (Barcelona).
» Safer
– Historical crime data analysed so police can predict where crimes will occur and officers deployed there in
advance (Arizona)
» Water supply
– Rainwater is pumped into underground aquifers for irrigation use during dry spells (Australia).
– Water pressure is automatically adjusted to suit conditions reducing leaks & usage (California)
» Economic development
– All of the above contribute to a better city where people and businesses want to be located

Software Defined Networking
(SDN)
What is SDN?
» SDN is a new way of looking at network infrastructure– separates the data plane (the part that forwards packets) from the control plane
(the part that decides where the packets should go)
What is SDN?
» Traditionally, a lot of network control resides in the data forwarding devices (switches and routers).
» SDN puts control in devices called Controllers, which are themselves serving Applications running elsewhere
How is SDN different from what we have now?
» The terms SDN and OpenFlow are often used interchangeably
» But, OpenFlow is just a component of SDN
– A standard API for SDN controllers to communicate with network devices
Where does OpenFlow fit in?
The role of OpenFlow as the standard
API for controlling switches means that a
large part of the network infrastructure
can be standardised – one major benefit
of the SDN approach
SDN architecture
This is the control/data architecture for a network running SDN
» A school wishes to automate student access to special network resources
» Only students attending a specific class should have access to special resources for
that lesson
– E.g. color printer only for graphics students,
– Less restrictive internet access for media students (YouTube access, for example)
» SDN could enable network to understand school timetable and reconfigure student network access
permissions accordingly
– Changes could occur automatically between classes!
– Even last minute changes to timetable could be made without disruption or stress
– No I.S. staff required to implement network changes – SDN makes it all automatic!
» This is not a dream! We are already building these applications…
Enterprise SDN – example application
» In July 2015, Allied Telesis announced OpenFlow support for the AT-x510 (24
port only), AT-x930 series, DC2552XS/L3 and AT-TQ4600
» Products with a range of performance and port speeds are now available
– Not just core switches, OpenFlow at the edge too!
» Switches are hybrid so support all existing AlliedWare+ features too
Allied Telesis OpenFlow products
“Secure Enterprise SDN” enables customers to focus on their business rules and applications rather than
on how their network is configured. Combined with powerful management tools, this lowers operating
expenses and increases business agility.
