scope:

The present document details measures which may be taken to ease the deployment of smart new services and their multiservice street furniture of digital multiservice city within the IP network of a single city or an association of cities administratively clustered. Furthermore, the suggested measures will enable to engineer a reliable common networking infrastructure which can improve the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for the public administration while improving the energy efficiency of the overall deployment.

The present document also lists the requirements which have led to this common architecture.

Clause 4 presents a suggestion of an engineered digital multiservice city.

Clause 5 introduces the active role categorized urban assets can play in the delivery of digital services across the territory of the city.

Clause 6 reviews the spread efforts within the standardization organizations for the digital multiservice city.

Clause 7 suggests both the common engineering required to transform an urban asset into an active network nodes of the digital multiservice city while presenting a concrete illustration of network design for one of the categories.

This will enable the proper introduction and implementation of a new service, application or content within the city digital portfolio on a unified energy efficient network, though it is not the goal of the present document to provide detailed standardized solutions for network architecture.
