| Parks Public Wi-Fi Installation |
The project is to establish public Wi-Fi services at 15 pilot parks, to provide no-cost internet access to low-income consumers residing near each of the Parks. The Wi-Fi service is provided by Acordis as a turnkey solution. The Wi-Fi network is a standalone Cisco-Meraki system that is not connected to the City network. Acordis will completely manage and maintain the service, including trend analysis for system optimization. The City will have access to the Acordis Management Portal in order to monitor performance as needed. The project is designed to provide 200/20 Mbps download/upload with bursts up to 300/30 Mbps download/upload; therefore, it will exceed the symmetrical 100/20 Mbps download/ upload requirement within each of the 15 parks. Project was procured through cooperative procurement following federal regulations and best practices. |
