Chapter 207 202. Smart City (77)

PS: I would like to ask for recommendation tickets and monthly tickets. Can you vote for me? The recommendation list is indeed rather bleak. ****

On the way back, he passed through Omarama City. Wang Bo went to Eva first. He went to Eva’s house first, but the surrounding buildings were being repaired. Some building blocks were almost half collapsed. It's been unoccupied for a while.

Recalling what Xiao Luoli said about their house being broken down, Wang Bo realized how bad it was at this time. Eva obviously didn't live here for nearly two months.

He called, and Eva gave him a new address after connecting, saying that she was staying at a colleague's house.

Wang Bo drove over, and Eva stood by the road waiting for him.

The winter wind blew across the street, and the beautiful teacher's khaki windbreaker was blown up, revealing the cashmere sweater and black leggings inside, matched with her high heels, making her look slim, elegant and chic.

After getting off the car, Wang Bo asked concerned: "Hey, what happened to your house? I'm sorry, I didn't expect it to be damaged to such an extent by the earthquake. I should be more concerned."

The beautiful teacher smiled and said: "Don't say that, it has nothing to do with you. Our house is a building block house. It is a bit old, so it has suffered a lot of damage this time."

The biggest disadvantage of using building block houses is that if it is approaching its age, once it is damaged, it cannot be repaired and repaired, and it can only be demolished and rebuilt.

Wang Bo didn't have an intuitive understanding before, but now that he saw the tragedy of Eva's building, he decided not to build building block houses in the back houses, but to build normal houses with bricks and tiles combined with wooden structures.

After getting off the car, the two started strolling on the street. Wang Bo asked her how she was doing. Eva said that during this time, she and Dai Er were temporarily staying at the home of her colleague Catherine Houston. The school relocation was difficult, and they had to Apply for some programs.

Wang Bo asked: "Then when will you be able to move there? I have already selected the school house. Although it is also a building block house, I can build another formal school for you soon."

Eva smiled brightly and said, "It should be soon. The main thing is some procedures and notifying the parents of the school relocation. As long as these are done, we can move out, about a week?"

After talking about the official business, Lao Wang wanted to communicate with the beautiful teacher about his personal feelings with a shy face. He directly invited Catherine's family to have dinner together, saying that he was grateful for their care for Eva.

In fact, he should treat someone to a meal, not only taking care of Eva, but more importantly, taking care of him.

The school relocation wasn't just Eva's business. The two teachers, the logistics and the security guards had to move so Katherine's children would continue to attend school in Auburn, and her husband would have to stay, which meant she would have to be separated from the family for a few days a week. .

Sunset Town borders Aocheng, but the school and the town center are to the west of the town, a bit far from Aocheng in the east, and it is unrealistic to commute back and forth every day.

Catherine's husband is named Carter-Houston, a network engineer, working for the New Zealand Telecom Company, a large network communication company headquartered in Wellington. He needs to serve the small town, so he cannot leave here.

Wang Bo first thanked him for supporting his wife's career and helping the development of Sunset Town.

Carter was very kind, and he smiled: "In fact, I think it's very good. Sunset Town has a great scenery, which is suitable for such a school. I'm very happy to see Catherine helping more people, and my children are the same."

Catherine said: "Maybe we can move as a family in the future. I have been to Sunset a few times and when I passed by, I found that wow, this place has changed a lot? A lot of things are available and life has become very convenient. It's great, isn't it ?”

Carter nodded with a smile.

While eating, Wang Bo and Carter talked about work. His town has not yet officially connected to the fiber optic network. Carter's company has a strong business in this area. He is also a related expert, so he started consulting.

Carter asked: "What is your need? If you want to have the Internet, you can apply for it in units of towns, and the price can be discounted."

Wang Bo said: "I read on the Internet that there is a smart city project in New Zealand, right? It seems to be able to build a wireless network covering a city? I want this."

This is what he learned through the Internet. The government of Auckland, the largest city in New Zealand, has implemented a policy since last year called a smart city. The telecommunications company removed the old telephone booths and replaced them with new, modern WIFI hotspot terminals LinkOak.

LinkOak can provide free network signals, and when there are enough terminals, they can spread WIFI signals in every corner of the entire city.

Wang Bo thought it was very interesting after seeing this, and he wanted to cover the town.

Carter nodded after listening to his words, and said: "I also wanted to say this just now, buddy, your idea is very good, because of the size of the town, it is very suitable for using smart city services, and only needs to invest about 5 million New Zealand dollars , should be able to cover your small town living area."

The business of WIFI hotspot terminals is developing rapidly in various countries, such as airports, railway stations, large casinos, high-end residential areas, etc., all have public WIFI hotspots.

However, smart cities are different from WIFI hotspots. They are really distributed in outdoor public spaces, have network memory functions, and are very secure, requiring specialized personnel to manage these networks.

Several pilot projects in Auckland are very popular. The internet speed of the smart city is fast enough. It is said that a 1GB file can be downloaded in just one minute. The ordinary 4G network cannot reach this speed, not to mention that this service is almost free.

Compared with network speed and cost, security is more important in smart cities. LinkOka is an APP that needs to be downloaded, and then it will identify the device and install the certificate, which greatly increases the security of the network.

In addition, the significance of LinkOka is not only to provide free services, but also to have positive significance for smart cars, smart roads, and urban automation.

However, the development of smart cities in Auckland is not fast, and it can even be said to be quite slow. This is the problem of the democratic government. It is very expensive to build a high-speed network system covering the whole city. Not all taxpayers are willing to let the government spend money on this side.

In this way, although the responses of several pilot projects are good, there is still a long way to go in Auckland to make the APP signal cover the whole territory. After all, this thing is too expensive-it only covers the living areas of the town. Get five million!

But Wang Bo's ambitions don't stop there: "I want to cover not only the living area, but the whole territory. However, the signal in the living area should be strengthened, and the signal in the blank area can be weaker."

Upon hearing this, Carter was surprised: "Are you sure?"
