Information Services CradlePoint Upgrade for Fire Vehicles IT2109
Project Description
Replacement of legacy Cradlepoints and antennas for Fire Units. These systems are used to maintain a encrypted connection to
the City's network on fire vehicles.

Project Justification
The Fire Department was the pilot for the first installment of Cradlepoints 7yrs ago. Since then, they have not been fully upgraded to
meet the demands of todays technological requirements. There have been GPS updates on the newer Cradlepoints that are not
available on the legacy Cradlepoints. The GPS updates are crucial for Spillman AVL status. The antennas are also legacy antennas
requiring upgrading to meet the connection outputs required by the newer Cradlepoints. The legacy antennas only provide
connectivity cables for 4 connections- 2-Wifi, 1 Cellular, 1-GPS. With the constant change of technology, the newer Cradlepoints will
require an antenna with 2-Wifi, 2 Cellular, and 1 GPS. The antenna install will be outsourced to CrossPoint Communications.
Note: Project funding source is Information Technology Fund (520).
