Delivering Smart+Connected Solutions in Europe, Latin America and Africa

Oct 1, 2013

Cisco will work with PT and PTSI over the next three years to build out the smart solutions portfolio.

Cisco is collaborating with PT on a number of key initiatives, including: Smart Solutions, Smart Work Centers, Smart+Connected City Wi-Fi, Connected Transportation, and Sports and Entertainment.

By working together, both companies stand to benefit: Working with Cisco and its authorized partners, PT will be able to integrate the latest Cisco networking technologies and digital infrastructure designs into solutions that enrich its customers' experience worldwide.

Cisco will not only benefit from the extension of market reach for its new IP-enabled smart services into a customer base that PT understands well and for whom it already holds credibility, but also the possibility to integrate some of PTs recent products.

"This is a strategic partnership for PT Group. It represents the opportunity to create technical synergies and provide cloud services for Smart Cities. We strongly believe that through these services we will be able to positively contribute towards an efficiency increase in cities and companies, as well as in people's well-being. We are proud to consolidate this international growth strategy alongside Cisco," said Zeinal Bava, chief executive officer of PT Portugal and Oi SA.

Employers can utilize these open workspaces to offer flexible work options to their employees while creating opportunities for new social and professional connections. Giving people a place to work and meet near home can also reduce commute time, fuel consumption, greenhouse gas emissions and traffic congestion.Smart+Connected City Wi-Fi: An integrated urban plan will enable information exchange between services, fulfilling the need for increased security, energy conservation, and the enhanced productivity of a digital lifestyle. Cisco will work with PT to deploy Wi-Fi architectural solutions in several cities worldwide.Connected Transportation, Sports and Entertainment: Cisco and PT will also facilitate the delivery of other vital community services, including multiple intelligent traffic management platforms to help reduce traffic congestion and pollution within the community, and provide a more seamless commuting and parking experience. Sports and entertainment options let fans connect with their favorite teams and with each other through interactive and personalized experiences.
