The aim? To support cities and utilities in adopting secure, scalable and interoperable IoT solutions that truly make a difference, whether through optimized maintenance, energy savings, or enabling new services like traffic monitoring and emergency response.
This position opens the right to advocate for open, forward-compatible technologies that align with city needs today while keeping future growth in mind.
The role of CTIA in the future of connected cities
In short, CTIA is where the wireless industry collaborates, innovates and influences the future. And Flashnet is proud to be at the heart of that effort when it comes to transportation and smart infrastructure.

The contribution to this ecosystem is extremely valuable, especially when it comes to the intersection of wireless connectivity, urban infrastructure and smart city development. As part of the CTIA Transportation Working Group leadership, Flashnet will be actively involved in conversations that impact how connectivity supports the future of mobility, infrastructure efficiency and smart public services.
