Decatur hopes to upgrade municipal WiFi

MuniWireless reports:

The City of Decatur has issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) seeking an Internet Service Provider (ISP) to upgrade, operate and maintain the city’s existing municipal WiFi network. The network currently serves educational, residential, commercial, and municipal customers within the City of Decatur boundaries. The city needs the Proposer to:

(a) make recommendations about how to modify the existing network to improve performance and stability and to focus on those areas that can be served reliably;

(b) provide marketing and customer acquisition services;

(c) operate, maintain and support the network that currently serves educational, residential, commercial, and municipal customers within the City of Decatur boundaries.

The city owns the network, which consists of approximately 170 Cisco 1500 nodes (including spares) as well as about 102 PTP backhaul links.
