How will Wireless Minneapolis improve City services?
A wireless network that covers the entire city of Minneapolis will allow the City to deliver services to its residents and businesses more effectively and efficiently than ever before. Firefighters can access building floor plans on the way to a fire, and inspectors will be able to file reports and access data in the field. Wireless has immense public safety potential. Squad car video can be beamed to police precincts in real-time. Officers on the way to a scene can view security camera video of a crime scene as they approach. Wireless technology will make connecting and coordinating security cameras more cost-efficient and easier than ever. Shot-spotter and other safety systems can be operated on the wireless network.
