A1 - Schöndienst, Valentin A1 - Tamm, Gerrit ED - Sieck, Jürgen T1 - Wireless City Berlin: solutions for a Smarter City T2 - Wireless Communication and Information N2 - Cities in Europe face the challenge of combining competitiveness and sustainable urban development. Technology such as wireless communication and ubiquitous computing is playing an increasingly important role in this context, helping to co-create solutions which can make the urban space „smarter‟. The city of Berlin is launching the project „Wireless City Berlin‟ (WCB) to demonstrate the potential of such technologies in multiple application scenarios. This paper analyses the terms „smart‟ and „wireless‟ with respect to urban development and introduces a typology of wireless city initiatives. Further, it presents the main work areas of the WCB project and relates it to other wireless city initiatives in Europe.

While municipalities worldwide have invested in deploying wireless access infrastructures, the services which build up on these and add value for individuals and organizations are still at their early stage. Especially for European municipalities there is still a looming potential. This paper explores the current status of municipal wireless adoption in Europe based on the analysis of 25 initiatives in European metropolitan areas and derives a setup approach for wireless city initiatives which focuses on the definition and evaluation of innovative services. The approach includes overall design requirements, a generic stakeholder analysis as well as clusters for innovative wireless services and is illustrated by a case example of an ongoing wireless city project in Germany.
