サンノゼ市

As the capital of the Silicon Valley and home to more technology companies than anywhere else, San José has long sought become one of the world's smartest cities. With a journey that began when the city realized that nearly 100,000 residents were without high-speed internet access, San José has embarked on a Digital Inclusion and Broadband Strategy that pledges to deliver free broadband to every resident.

What started as a plan to deliver free Wi-Fi to downtown San José, soon grew into an impressive Wi-Fi network that allowed device signals to effortlessly connect throughout the city's airport, convention center and school districts.

"We refuse to settle for the ordinary; our driving force is the pursuit of excellence through innovation. Our Smart City Vision epitomizes this dedication – an spiration that employes technology as a catalyst to cultive a more interconnected, prosperous, and sustainable community" said Matt Mahan, Mayor of San José. Through a robust public-private partnership between the city, SmartWAVE Technologies, and RUCKUS, San José and its Smart City Vision expanded into the low-income neighborhoods to broadcast free Wi-Fi utilizing city-owned street light poles, traffic lights, and public buildings.

By seamlessly infusing technology into the city's core services, San José has propelled itself beyond a mere urban hub to become a model of comprehensive community advancement. Through this collaborative approach, San José is unlocking the potential for all residents to partake in the Silicon Valley's culture of innovation.
