Wireless applications, citywide WiFi, smartphones
It’s either luck or the public safety video surveillance systems (“crime cameras”) are going mainstream. Denver Post recently ran an extensive article on Denver’s HALO (High Activity Location Observation) system. The initial phase of the system included 50 cameras and was deployed in the preparation for the 2008 Democratic National Convention. The system uses Firetide’s wireless [...]
It was pretty amazing to see the amount of people involved in Conductivity Week in Santa Clara California last week. They were all there positioning their expertise on how to build and secure the smart grid. With NIST, WiFi Alliance, Zigbee Alliance, and the IEEE and hundreds vendors and speakers attending, it was like a [...]
I have just created the MuniWireless Northern California meetup group. I encourage people living and working in Northern California to join us (and even those who don’t should join because you might be in the neighborhood when we are holding an event). The URL is http://www.meetup.com/MuniWireless-Northern-California. Among the topics we will cover in upcoming events [...]
While following the Connectivity Show in Santa Clara California, I thought I should follow-up on the at Greentech Media’s annual Smart Grid conference in Palm Springs last week. I wanted to focus this article on Smart Grid security so I thought I should find some clear explanation of where we are now and then add [...]
Case Study of Colorado DOT microwave backhaul system for highway system The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) is responsible for a 9,134 mile highway system throughout the state, including 3,406 bridges. Each year, this system of highways handles over 48 billion vehicle miles of travel. CDOT maintenance forces take care of the highway system, plowing [...]
Firetide recently announced a contract with Thales Portugal to provide Mumbai Metro with real-time, mobile wireless video surveillance network. The network will be deployed to provide onboard video surveillance and broadcast of text message to passenger information display. The Mumbai Metro is a three-line, high capacity rapid transit system spanning 40 miles that is being built [...]
I’ve been writing articles lately about microwave backhaul systems that municipalities and public utilities are installing (Texas-New Mexico Power and Sioux Falls, South Dakota) to save on the cost of telecommunications (they dump their expensive T1 lines) and to increase the amount of bandwidth that city and utility departments desperately need. A number of readers [...]
The NTIA announced that it will provide an opportunity for certain state and local governments to apply for broadband stimulus funding to support public safety projects. The potential applicants are the state and local governmental entities that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) recently permitted to deploy public safety broadband systems using the 700 MHz public [...]
Texas-New Mexico Power (TNMP), a community-based electrical power generation and distribution company serving more than 216,000 subscribers in Texas and 490,000 subscribers in New Mexico, is dumping its T1 lines and replacing them with microwave backhaul systems from Exalt Communications. TNMP hired Houston-based telecommunications and IT engineering firm Lockard & White to assist in design, [...]
Sioux Falls, South Dakota has just deployed a microwave backhaul system to link together 20 public buildings. The project caught my eye because it challenges one of the assumptions most of us make – that fiber is always more reliable and faster than wireless. Apparently, not in Sioux Falls. Yesterday, I spoke to Kim Hansen, Network [...]
