Evaluate Current Network Infrastructure: Assess the current condition and capacity of the City's fiber, broadband, wireless backhaul, and networked assets relevant to public safety Document gaps, coverage limitations, and infrastructure constraints that impact the ability to public safety field systems. Engage with key staff to gather insights into current usage and knowledge gaps, including staff responsible for mapping of utilities and current fiber routes and connection points. Network Expansion Strategy to Support: Public safety surveillance cameras Traffic monitoring cameras License plate recognition (LPR) systems Smart city sensors and environmental monitoring devices Dark fiber strategies and best practices Wireless mesh or point-to-point augmentation/solutions where trenching is not feasible Capacity expansion strategy to support a 10-year expansion of Public Safety technology infrastructure: Projected bandwidth requirements for both current and future deployments by device type Short-term and long-term storage forecasts (in Terabyte/Petabyte) Storage model strategies (On-Prem, Hybrid, Cloud) for retention requirements
