Budeet Narrative The project is to build an improved wireless connectivity on an 800 Mhz and 900 Mhz system. This will provide the necessary throughput to make the Mobile Data Computers fully functional on a CAD/RMS. As you review the project budget you will see specific items budgeted for each element of this project. · Data Modems - Each Mobile Data Computer needs a data modem to provide a wireless connection to the transmitter. Our initial research on 700 MHz, 800 MHz and 900 MHz indicates that the best solution may be different for metro and rural agencies. The decision on which equipment to deploy for each agency will be based on the results of the RFP process and based on cost, coverage and throughput capabilities. o Subtotal for Data Modems: $402,300 · Transmitters I Antennae I etc. - A successful wireless infrastructure requires proper placement of transmitters to provide adequate coverage of the serviee area. The placement of the transmitters has been based on geographic location, availability, height, backhaul capabilities, etc to provide coverage of our service areas. The final deployment plan will be based on tests and specific needs. o Subtotal for Transmitters and Antennae: $234,500 · Wireless Backhauls - At all locations that a transmitter in installed, a connection needs to be made back to the central servers. These connections are called backhauls and can be another wireless connection, a leased circuit from a telco, or a connection to the fiber plant. Leased circuits are least desirable, due to the recurring cost. Fiber connections are preferred due to the reliability and capacity. The wireless backhauls will use either existing microwave backhauls or new 4.9 GHz equipment. Transmitter locations near the fiber plant will be connected via fiber equipment to the extended fiber plant. . Wireless Backhauls - o Subtotal for Wireless Backhaul: $32,000 . Fiber Equipment for Backhauls - o Subtotal for Fiber Equipment for Backhaul: $15,000 . Water Tower Connections for Backhauls- o Subtotal for Water Tower Connections for Backhauls: $47,500 · NetMotion Wireless Server - The NetMotion Wireless Server (or its equivalent) provides mobile IP capabilities to each client. This allows the clients (MDCs) to both roam between various transmitters as they travel around town as well as switching seamlessly to another wireless technology (e.g. roaming from cell to 802.11 big).
