    How is IoT Improving Transparency Between Smart Cities and Citizens? | Austin Ashe, GM of Current, Powered by GE

    Austin Ashe, General Manager of Intelligent Cities at Current (Powered by GE), explains how the company evolved from lighting to a full IoT platform called City IQ, using light poles as ubiquitous, powered, and elevated 'iPhone on a pole' hubs for data collection. He details the San Diego deployment, which installed 14,000 LEDs and ~4,200 sensors to achieve energy savings that funded the project, while providing real-time data on parking, traffic, and bicycling to improve urban transparency and public safety. Ashe addresses security concerns through hardware encryption, dedicated AT&T tunnels, and privacy filters that block views of private property, and advises cities to find strong internal champions to navigate complex stakeholder buy-in and avoid 'smart washing.'
