GreenMesh Insights | 2026 Methodology

The “Romantic Era” of Smart Cities is Over. Welcome to the Era of Operations.

Stop building “Museums of Technology.” The Smart City & IoT Reality Pack 2025 is a complete operational framework for leaders who need infrastructure that scales, survives, and delivers ROI.

Why do 75% of Smart City projects die after the pilot stage?

We analyzed a decade of deployment failures. The technology rarely fails — the model does.

  • The OpEx Trap: Maintenance, sensor drift, and battery replacement costs weren’t in the budget.

  • Vendor Lock-in: Systems are trapped in proprietary silos with no path to interoperability.

  • The “Pilot Purgatory”: Great demos that lack a clear operational owner, SLA, or scaling roadmap.

The OpEx Trap

Maintenance, sensor drift, and battery replacement costs weren’t in the budget.

Vendor Lock-in

Systems are trapped in proprietary silos with no path to interoperability.

The “Pilot Purgatory”

Great demos that lack a clear operational owner, SLA, or scaling roadmap.

Tools for Infrastructure, Not Just Presentations.
