Figure 18. Reference Architecture

Taking human communication as the hypothesis is solved by operators and ICT architecture is not an issue for this
section, we will evaluate different options in M2M area:
1) Field Network
Area composed by Transducers, Sensors and Actuators as tools of Defined Services.

2) Access Network
Link and devices involved in connection between Field Network Devices and Transport Network. This area will be
wireless or wired from devices to gateways between Access Networks and Transport Networks.

3) Transport Network
Links and Devices involved in connection between gateways and city Data warehouse premises.
All these options could be private or owned by the city.
