The concept of Smart Cities has recently attracted considerable attention. The basic idea about making a city as smart is to use communication technology to optimize a city's resource consumption. There are interesting research opportunities oriented to innovative applications and services based on Future Internet. Networked interaction will be a priority where people will be interacting which each other as well as with information. On the other hand, Smart City research explores the space problem through applications pilots and experimental platforms. For this reason, we propose a new testbed to perform experiments oriented to Smart Cities communications, integrating body area networks with wireless sensor networks. We have improved our first implementation to obtain a platform to emulate real communication possibilities in Smart Cities. We describe the main components of our testbed and we show an experimental example confirming that we are ready to participate in the Smart Cities evolution.
