Abstract

The communication technologies applied in solutions with Wireless Sensor Networks, Internet of Things, and Machine to Machine are the fundamental pillars for a scenario considering energy management. This work focuses on applications for the achievement of Smart Cities that hope to prioritize the quality of life through applications of Information Technology and Communications. To do this, the main concepts of the subject under study are defined to subsequently make a specific identification in the energy scenario with respect to communication technologies including emergency alarms and data sent by Smart Meters. Finally, the most appropriate Technologies-Standards that will be applied to each type of infrastructure in the energy scenario are analyzed and compared.
