The Center for Innovation, Testing, and Evaluation (www.cite-city.com), or CITE™ . A ubiquitous, cross-disciplinary, Uninhabited Test City, situated on 26 square miles of vacant land in Southern New Mexico

Conceived to address the needs of federally-funded and private research dollars seeking greater scale and scope to support testing and evaluation of new technologies and applications in the areas of energy, transportation (aviation, vehicular, rail – light & heavy), telecommunications, network operating systems/sensors, and security - in a real world urban, suburban, and rural environment

CITE™ has received the full support of the State of New Mexico under a Memorandum of Understanding, dated August 11, 2011 http://www.cite-city.com/downloads/2011_09_06_NM_Economic_Development_Press_ Release.pdf

CITE - WHAT ARE WE DOING?

FCC/NTIA Model City Workshop 04.16.2015

Application on file with the USPTO and Internationally for a Patent entitled “Uninhabited Test City”. UNITED STATES PATENT APPLICATION PUBLICATION PUB No: US 2013/0255405 A1; PUB Date: October 3, 2013

CITE™ has actively sponsored and presented at several “Industry Day” events in Palo Alto, California, Tysons Corner, Virginia, and Raleigh, North Carolina - at open forums to potential users, regulators, and financiers, where the project’s design and financial plans were outlined in detail http://extras.mnginteractive.com/live/media/site557/2012/0716/20120716_023541_ CITE%20Industry%20Day%20Presentation.04.26.2012.pdf

CITE™ is currently engaged in the development of its underlying engineering and design, acquisition of its preferred physical location for the project, regulatory awareness, financing, and potential customer interest

Indoor and outdoor test laboratories and facilities exist today, both public and private:

Very specific in their sector focus for example: energy, telecommunications, transportation, automated systems, e.g. M2M, and government

General limitations of such facilities include: Access, cost, IP protection, and regulatory

considerations Pristine in their conditions to achieve

maximum return from the test Not fully integrated, or influenced by

outside limiting or affecting factors, e.g. public safety, existing operating and service systems – The Real World

Missing the “experience” – good & bad - of the data derived from the unanticipated effect of a new technology in a cross-disciplinary environment – The Law of Unintended Consequences

CITE - WHY ARE WE DOING IT?

CITE - WHY ARE WE DOING IT?

FCC/NTIA Model City Workshop 04.16.2015

To truly “test and evaluate” a new, broad-based, impactful technology, intelligent or otherwise, destined for The Real World – our communities, universities, and government facilities would find it more valuable to do so in and amongst more realistic environments of various, possibly disruptive, activities:

A Venue between the laboratory and the ultimate customer’s premise

Amongst infrastructure that was representative of ALL end users infrastructure - “Legacy Cities”

More representative of the true market conditions in which the product would be ultimately operated - existing operating and service systems – good & bad, efficient & inefficient

Physically isolated to minimize public safety risks – Uninhabited

CITE™ is a perfect example of a private sector response to ONE TYPE of “Model City”, as described in the PCAST recommendation - albeit on a much broader scale - and further would be the appropriate vehicle for the goals sought by PCAST and those outlined in the FCC/NTIA Request for Comments

CITE – HOW WOULD YOU DO IT?

FCC/NTIA Model City Workshop 04.16.2015

A fully integrated and in daily operation, UNINHABITED TEST CITY, managed below ground by an Intelligent Network Center, and representative of the “day-to-day” technology and economic activity that is occurring “outside the LAB”, e.g. The Real World, in our legacy cities everyday.

CITE™ would have a physical presence of 26 sq. miles with infrastructure representative of:

Urban footprint - high-rise buildings, urban canyons

Suburban neighborhood - mixed styles and neighborhood design

Rural/outlying residences, farms, ranches

Open spaces for expansion and isolated testing areas with unique designs

An interstate, urban and rural road system

A ubiquitous wireless and fixed-line communications infrastructure

All legacy utilities, in full operation, power, water, telecom, transportation against which to test next-generation products & applications
