Utility Supercluster: Celebrating the “Smart” City of Pittsburgh

Experts in the field of all things smart cities met for The Utility Supercluster: Celebrating the "Smart" City of Pittsburgh presented by Dots and Bridges on October 13, 2021. Watch Metro21 Executive Director Karen Lightman and others as they participate in a series of guided conversations about sustainable energy, water management & conservation, and a resilient utility sector.

Incorporating a heterogeneous, Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) Smart City fabric requires continuous diagnostics and mitigation to reduce cyber-physical risk AND provide visibility.
