The idea postulates that by using Sensors ,NFC internet and other wireless communicating technology, We can enhances our daily necessity and overall development of a city.
To make it achievable, There must exists the abundant use of sensors to hatch the raw data from citizens, Further there must be proper storing capacities to store data. The data stored should be further directed to process with the help of wireless communication.
Then the desired information should be further process to give the output.
This kind of network must require proper energy harvesting for the devices, connectivity or network of devices and sensors, security to ensure that data is access to authorized user and cloud for storage and maintaining the data.
