For example, in the City of Cleveland, Ohio, an outdoor wireless mesh network provides

government agencies with a cost-effective means of sharing information and resources, to allow

their citizens access to public-information databases. The wireless network enables the

government to efficiently integrate the network in selected city areas with the local university

campus, allowing students and public sector workers to access their network as they roam within

the community.

In the City of El Paso, Texas, the city inspectors and police officers use wireless technology to

access department databases for information to conduct their daily field assignments. With this

solution, the inspectors can shorten their commute time between job sites and increase their

responsiveness to public service requests. The police officers are able to spend more time in the

field by downloading documents and doing paperwork at secured hotspots throughout the city.

These are just a few examples of how city officials are leading the way into a new era of

communications, using the Cisco Outdoor Wireless Networking solution to improve public services

and enhance the public safety and the well-being of their citizens.

The Driver: Enabling Applications for a Better Community

Local government and public safety agencies are looking at ways to better manage their resources

and to improve productivity, public safety, and service delivery in their communities (Figure 1).

Some agencies are extending existing applications running internally on their wired network

infrastructure to the field using Cisco Outdoor Wireless & Mobile Networking solutions. These

solutions give government employees access to business-critical and time-sensitive information—

information that can be used to better serve the public.

City officials and first responders have traditionally used wireless communications to exchange

information with each other, but their outdated communications tools are too slow to support more

sophisticated applications. Now many agencies are enhancing and complementing these systems

with the Cisco Outdoor Wireless Networking solution based on the IEEE 802.11 standard, making

it possible to store and retrieve data at far greater speeds. In doing so, they not only increase the
