Mexico, like so many countries, is facing an increasing digital divide between rural and urban areas. This gap creates disparities in education, job training, and economic success. Mexico’s government is urgently responding through public-private partnerships, more affordable infrastructure, and digital literacy training. IEEE SA interviewed Paula Cicero, Mexico’s Chief of Staff for the Federal Institute of Telecommunications (IFT), about the challenges the government is facing.
Bridging the Digital Divide in Mexico
India’s urban population will nearly double its 2011 level by 2031. Creating smart cities will help deliver prosperous, sustainable, and inclusive value to these 600 million urbanites. To do so means integrating physical, digital, and human systems effectively. IEEE SA standards can help enable a brighter future for the cities of tomorrow.
How Standards Make Smart Cities a Reality
Brazil plays an important role in global agriculture as it is one of the largest food producers in the world. Digital technologies help improve productivity and reduce waste.

The COVID-19 pandemic emphasized the need for data governance to enable universal connectivity and data sharing for efficient public services. In Indonesia, for example, many users lack confidence in using cell phones because the data they generate are owned by private operators. This video Q&A examines the challenges in Indonesia and how technology standards can support sustainable and trustworthy data governance for all.
Protecting Data Privacy in Indonesia
With ever-increasing connectivity and data exchange between health devices, there is an increased risk to safety and privacy. In this podcast, Ashish Mahajan, Non-Executive Director of IoTSec Australia Inc., provides insights into the vulnerabilities in the IoT ecosystem that impede innovation in healthcare.
Cybersecurity in Connected Healthcare Ecosystems
The U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) issued Order 2222, encouraging the widespread adoption of more electricity generation from Distributed Energy Resources (DERs). IEEE 2030.11™-2021 helps to drive the increased use of distributed, renewable energy resources, and their associated environmental benefits.
Guiding the Integration of Distributed & Renewable Energy
