AT&T is clearly not playing around in 2016 last year ctia showed us all the progress the company has made with the Internet of Things but now that the company has invited us to its developer summit at CES 2016 we've learned that that was just the tip of the iceberg I'm hi Mary better with pocket now here with a quick look at a connected live sponsored by AT&T atts developer summit is a big deal at every CES it Jose TNT's major announcements for the starting point of every year and it also features one of the largest heck cons in the world the idea of this event is to be a true win-win if you think about the many cases where developers come up with really smart ideas but like the funding to make them happen or the right tools and api's to have these ideas reach their maximum potential the result of all this collaboration is just amazing from robotic trash cans too smart cameras to control drivers in public school areas to smarter medical treatment solutions we saw a lot of products that will hopefully become tools to solve real consumer problems and needs in the near future the winner this year was kinetic care and it's easy to see why as the solution allows caregivers to remotely monitor their patients through wearable technology that triggers a TNT's digital life home solutions to call 911 unlock doors that just mention a few of its features as a follow-up to our interview back at ctia the company's CEO of mobility Glenn Murray was nice enough to give us a quick overview of everything we've seen at this conference our developer programs world-class what we've been voted the best and and we're proud of that because you get voted that because you're really truly giving developers of tools they want and when you think about what they picked a hack on and the folks obviously connecticare is one example they're doing things that aren't in my view they're really cool but they're simple they're solving problems for people and that was what's most exciting and we're going to continue to invest and continue to focus on giving them the things they want so their stay interested in all the things that we're doing the keynote later serve for companies like for to announce some major plans like turning as many as 10 million vehicles and two connected cars over the next few years all in collaboration with a TNT our vision for from the time we started what we used to call merging devices eight years ago to now is that everything's going to be connected what you saw on the keynote was was you know a nice view of a whole bunch of different things that are taking place but you think about last year we talked a lot last year about the industrial Internet of Things which is really businesses looking at how they get better faster smarter more efficient you know we did three hundred deals in that just in 2015 and that's not just us going out chasing these or we are right but it's also them looking and coming to us saying we hear you're pretty good at this and we want to get better and to get better while seen abling things allows you to get that real-time data allows you to do better for your customers now the crown jewel of this event was definitely smart cities this is clearly the stuff of science fiction where AT&T will collaborate with major players like Ericsson and Intel to provide smart connected solutions a DNT will initially launched this collaboration in three cities Atlanta Chicago and Dallas and the scale of services that will be benefited it's just endless we view smart cities is picking very very relevant use cases improving they actually work and those relevant use cases we talked about us together its energy whether its water right whether its sustainability opportunities whether its traffic we can go down the list but what we started to see in the marketplace was with our reputation in the IOT space I think that's helped because we have cities coming to us and we started to see more and more and more of that so we put a smart cities team in place dedicated in 2015 and it just kept snowballing and this was kind of similar to some of the things we saw in the car business so really what smart cities is about is making cities better and making people's lives better it's also about bringing all of IOT together because reality is is you live in a city we've got to connect at home and connected car a smart phone etc acceptor they need to work together to really allow people to mobilize their lives that's our ultimate goal overall it's really hard not to be excited for all we've seen at this AT&T developer summit it's great to see a company commit to a very bold vision early on and deliver solutions progressively with every event we attend CES 2016 is just the start and we cannot wait to see smart cities in action very soon folks there's a lot more coverage from CES 2016 so make sure you follow us on social media instructor youtube channel as well you can follow me on twitter high mount
