Verizon Executive Says The Telecom Is Killing It In 5G

As smart cities evolve into more connected and technologically-enabled environments, how should executives prioritize regulation and data protection?

That was the focus of “Securing the Future of Mobility and Connectivity,” one of many panels on the Smart Future track of this year’s CES tradeshow. The room was overflowing quite literally — with tech executives and city leaders from around the globe as a number of experts took the stage to share their insights on risk, privacy and data. Among those panelists was Lani Ingram, Verizon’s Vice President of Smart Communities.

“Cities are becoming very conscious of the fact that they can’t wait until after tech happens to dive in,” Ingram said when asked to share her thoughts on the impact of smart innovations on local governments. Throughout the conversation, Ingram and her peers answered an abundance of questions regarding smart city security and how leaders can overcome common fears around the unknown of new technologies.

Smart Cities Dive caught up with Ingram after the session to pick her brain a little further, pressing her on competition in the telecom industry, the “race to 5G” and what “smart communities” really means. ―Smart Cities Dive
