Fast-growing Weber County, Utah, is the latest county to begin a pilot for a 4.9-GHz public safety network. Motorola is leading the effort, starting with 11 hot zones throughout the county for use by the sheriff’s department and four IP cameras located at one local school. Once the pilot is fully deployed and tested, the county intends to expand video surveillance to all county schools and other locations, eventually increasing network coverage at populated centers throughout the county, whose population has grown by almost one-third since 1990 to its current level of more than 210,000. Motorola has subcontracted network design, engineering and installation to Scientel Wireless, a Lombard, Ill.-based integrator that has worked with Motorola on deployments in Providence, RI and Buffalo, Minn., among others.
