Wi-Fi has become the preferred mobile data experience based on speed, cost and coverage. It is projected that by 2018, Wi-Fi and mobile-connected devices will generate 76 percent of all Internet traffic, up from 59 percent in 2013, according to the Cisco Visual Networking Index.

Cisco has previously opened IoE Innovation Centers in London, England; Barcelona, Spain; Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; Songdo, South Korea; Berlin, Germany; and Toronto, Canada. Cisco aims to invest $20 million over the next 10 years into the Tokyo IoE innovation center.

Growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) ^*1 market has accelerated dramatically in the past year throughout a wide range of industries and public sector organizations. The Internet of Everything (IoE) connects people, processes, data and things through the Internet, turning data generated from connected devices into actionable intelligence that can improve processes, decision-making and scenario planning for businesses and people. The Internet of Everything also is creating a greater need for fog computing, which stores and processes data at physical locations closer to devices and operations - or the edge - instead of handling all processes in the cloud.

The project will have a total of 220 access points spread throughout the Federal District, sized according to the urban traffic and serving points with higher concentration of people. In the central area, for example, where the National Stadium "Mane Garrincha" is located, there are 96 access points. At the Bus Terminal Station, there are 54, while the Convention Center "Ulysses Guimaraes" has six. Finally, each administrative district shall receive, on average, five coverage areas.

Students will benefit from engaging directly with the experts that are tasked with bringing the Games to life, from architects and engineers to sports medicine experts, and the inspiring athletes that are striving to achieve their highest potential. Students will also get a behind-the-scenes look at what goes into creating one of the world's largest international multi-sport games and explore the themes of STEM, high performance sport, venue construction, architecture and design, and technology in sport and career paths.

Today's announcement advances Cisco's plan to address customer requirements for a globally distributed, highly secure cloud platform capable of meeting the robust demands of the Internet of Everything. Designed for high-value application workloads, with real-time analytics and "near infinite" scalability, Cisco's open approach to the Intercloud is based on OpenStack and allows local hosting and local provider options that enable data sovereignty.
