Agenda• Wireless Landscape• Utility & City Dynamics• Real World Example• Consolidation Focal Points• Starting Process


Up to Now• Voice rules• Legacy but reliable

deployments• No data (or

minimal)• Market dominance

– Motorola– M/A-COM

• Has suited needs well and will continue to in some form

Today’s Data Reality• Hodge-podge of network types• Legacy voice-centric• Store and forward / synchronize technology• Lack of tracking capabilities• Mobile office and roaming not realistic• Cellular• Wi-Fi Hot Spots (some)

• REALITY– Not enough bandwidth– Text-based vs. mobile office

built– Los Angeles– New York– Tempe– Austin– Madison– Beverly Hills– Minneapolis– Detroit– Cleveland– Houston– etc…etc…etc…


Customer Pilot• Profile

– One of largest US cities– One of largest public utilities

• City-Wide Committee– Study conducted– Representatives from all core areas

• Moving to pilot “HotZones”– Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS)– Security / Traffic Surveillance– Mobile Data (Police, Fire, Rescue, EMS, Utility Fleet)– Sensor Networks– Weather Stations– Fixed Location Interconnectivity

Focal Points• Leverage similarities between:

– City Dynamics– Utility Dynamics

• Citywide Committee• Engage particulars of the city that

may be quickly overlooked• Investigate legal issues and develop

business models


Utility Operation Centric• Consider fiber optic buildouts for city

renewal / expansion areas– Conduits– Fibers

• Poles, street lights, modular– It is coming now– Analogy to cell towers that were not

planned in city
