NEW YORK, Jan. 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The smart city technology market is characterized by a diverse range of suppliers spanning many sectors, which makes a comparison of their strengths and capabilities a challenging exercise. However, such comparisons are becoming more important as city and other service providers look to select partners and technology providers to help them deliver on their smart city strategies and ambitions.
