Adelaide City is developing an innovation space to enable entrepreneurs to develop and test new ways for everyday devices to communicate via the internet. The Internet of Things Innovation Hub will focus on trialling and then installing new services to improve transport, healthcare, education, utilities and energy sectors. Adelaide will be the first Australian city to set up such a hub. Devices such as household appliances, watches and cars will be able to exchange information with each other using the free public wifi network launched in Adelaide earlier this year. For example, a programmed carpark can alert a smartphone of available parking spots. The city invested AU$1.5 million (US$1.36 million) to build one of the largest city-wide wireless networks in the world. The South Australian government has signed an agreement with the Adelaide City Council and network equipment provider Cisco to set up the hub. “This Innovation Hub will allow creative brainstorming and technological know-how to thrive,” said Science and Information Economy Minister Gail Gago. “It will provide a place for our brightest and most creative minds to develop new ways of living our lives in a wired, connected world.”
