The flipside to having universal IoT standards would be a lack of differentiation. Opening-up the emerging 5G satellite IoT opportunity to incumbent suppliers of terrestrial connectivity hardware may sound all-well-and-good, but if the “Satellite for 5G” project successfully completes its quest to integrate Non-Terrestrial Networks into 3GPP 5G NR, that could also pave the way for terrestrial network equipment vendors to start commandeering satellite ground stations. Perhaps, even leading consortia of Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) and terrestrial network vendors to build or acquire their own LEO IoT constellations, in response to emerging threats from the likes of Amazon’s Kuiper and Amazon Web Services (AWS) Ground Station initiatives.

5G provides unprecedented insights and abilities that will change what we do and how we do it in safe, smart and connected cities. As the fifth generation of cellular mobile communications, it succeeds 4G (LTE/WiMax), 3G (UMTS) and 2G (GSM) systems.

Competitive study of the major players will help all the market players in analyzing the latest trends and business strategies

Pursuant to the Electricity Act, certain State Electricity Regulatory Commissions (SERCs) have issued regulations in connection with RPOs. The SERCs stipulate certain percentages for procurement of energy generated from renewable energy sources on the basis of total consumption of electricity within the demarcated areas for supply by the distribution utilities. These regulations apply to entities that are mandated to comply with RPOs and include consumers owning captive power plants and open access users. RPOs are divided into solar and non-solar. Recently, MOP notified the long-term growth trajectory of RPOs for 2019-20 to 2021-22 (for 2019-20, the RPOs notified for solar is 7.25 per cent and non-solar is 10.25 per cent). The RPOs can also be discharged by purchase of environment attributes sold as intangible energy commodities called renewable energy certificates (REC).

But the initiative’s projects could be decisive, Pershing said, “if that’s a brown growth path, we can’t meet Paris."

McCarthy, who has touted the Smart City concept as a keystone of his administration, said the program is an opportunity to reform how the government delivers services through a “matrix of options,” providing “wide-ranging impact and value for every member of the community.”

Under the Electricity Act, generation of energy is a delicensed activity. Prior to the construction of a project, certain site-specific approvals may be required (if applicable) such as forest clearance and approvals from defence establishments, the Airports Authority of India and the Archaeological Survey of India.

The Company determines the fair value of a financial instrument as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced sale or liquidation. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash, accounts receivable, inventory, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and loans payable approximate their fair market value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments.

Solar street lamp technology already exists but is yet to be installed at a city-wide scale, largely due to concerns surrounding the reliability of outputs and the cost of dismantling and replacing existing systems.
