1 IBM Digital Communities Solutions Wireless Clouds Connecting Our Communities Riz Khaliq Business Area Leader Community Broadband, IBM Global Government

2 IBM Digital Communities Solutions 2 The Wireless Broadband Market Then And Now 2000 2005  WSJ reported “it was hard to imagine the broadband sector getting much worse” due to technical problems and consumer indifference Education wireless campuses “hotspots” Hotels, café’s, airports Public safety government employee access national agenda Wireless Clouds Broadband wireless could be as disruptive a technology as the Internet

3 IBM Digital Communities Solutions 3 Broadband Wireless Solutions Cross Industry Boundaries Government Healthcare and Education Industrial Retail and Distribution Telco, Energy and Utilities Travel and Transportation

4 IBM Digital Communities Solutions 4 Wireless Campuses Are Becoming Wireless Community Clouds Public Safety Driving Community Broadband  Wireless broadband networks can be deployed quickly for use by city employees and safety personnel  Multiple sources of government funding are available to help support these public safety networks  Once a network is in place, it can be used by multiple members of the community:  Schools and universities  Hospitals and clinics  Local merchants, hospitality and tourism providers  Sports and cultural venues  Wireless is an attractive way to cover large sections of cities, suburbs or rural areas not served by DSL or cable

5 IBM Digital Communities Solutions 5 Digital Communities are driven by government and public usage models GOVERNMENT USAGE MODEL Public Utilities Intelligent Transportation Systems Emergency Response Networked and Sensor- based Surveillance Municipal Workforce Mobility CC PUBLIC USAGE MODEL Economic Competitiveness Public Access

6 IBM Digital Communities Solutions 6 Digital Communities often begin with a single application or mobile communication need Emergency Response Disaster Relief Law Enforcement Video / Sensor Surveillance City Workforce Mobility Economic Development Traffic Management Public Utilities Public Access Telemedicine Distance Learning Public Safety

7 IBM Digital Communities Solutions 7 Public Safety Communication: Drivers for Change Interoperability and Collaboration for Emergency Services Emergency services, civic leaders and government agencies need the right information, at the right time, in order to make the right decisions during major incidents. They need interoperability across agency boundaries and situational awareness Public Safety solutions using mobile devices and wireless broadband can transform how the emergency services manage information flow and communications in order to offer dramatically improved government services during incidents and disasters.

8 IBM Digital Communities Solutions 8 Networked and Sensor Enabled Surveillance for Public Safety derive significant benefits from a Digital Community Network Tripwire Object Removal Abandoned Object  Threat Model –Insider/Employee Threat –Tailgating / Bringing in packages –User Threat –Passengers / Contractors /Visitor – screening –Outsider Threat –Addressed by perimeter security  Response –During the attack -- real-time alerts –After the fact – investigative / forensic role –Predictive / Preventive – data mining to discover unusual activity.  Other Non-security applications Motion Detection

10 IBM Digital Communities Solutions 10 The Digital Community of the Future: Summary  We can connect to the “Community Network” everywhere through a wide range of devices  Information can be obtained instantly  Each device in the city become part of a dynamic mesh or “grid” of wireless devices  We can move “seamlessly” between different connections without interruption  Public service workers communicate using common, flexible, secure infrastructure  City maintenance and environmental costs are lower  Quality of life is higher

11 IBM Digital Communities Solutions 11 Broadband Wireless drives Digital Communities Communities that will thrive in the increasingly turbulent market environment will be those that can transform themselves by connecting government services with their populace, via low-cost Internet access, fusing the best of emerging technologies and new business models to accelerate value creation.
