ABSTRACT This paper analyses the actual Telecommunications Infrastructure in the Municipality of Caguas, Puerto Rico in order to be able to make some recommendations for them to have the proper infrastructure on their effort to become a Smart City. It is part of a wider project, Smart Cities:Building its human and informational infrastructure for sustainable innovation and knowledge management Group. Caguas, Puerto Rico Mayor, Mr. William Miranda Marin, is very interested and has put a lot of effort, time and money, leading his Municipality to become one of the most technically advanced en Puerto Rico. We made an intensive research on other Smart Cities (SC) implementations, in order tocompare them to what Caguas, Puerto Rico has and what is needed for them to accomplish this goal.

Introduction Information gathered through an explorative method, gave the investigator all the specifics to prepare these recommendations to convert Caguas City into a Smart City or to enhance its current state to become a better and more efficient Smart City. Interviews with City Agencyofficials, especially with the Director of Information Technology, in charge of all Technical implementations and operations, where of great help in determining the actual status of the City and their growth requirements. Technological information was also gathered from different sources in the Caguas Municipality, in order to determine the need for improvement, and to be able to recommend the properenhancements to their infrastructure. Information gathered about the applications in use by Caguas Municipality main and branch offices, helped the investigator in determining if the appropriate tools where in place for the implementation of a Smart City. Information gathered from the Internet, was used to support or enhance the findings. Comparisons with other implementations, like the SingaporeHIT Case Study (Chien Earn Lee) helped on determining the current state of Caguas City and also to be able to give a more robust and specific recommendation.
