As the result of a technology grant, the Technology Center in conjunction with specialty vendors, completed an upgrade to the city hall, school administrative building, and police department computer networks.
The project began with the rewiring of each building, bringing the network transmission wires up to present standards. New networking hardware was installed which provides more reliable, secure and faster service. The equipment will also allow for future growth into areas such digital telephones. A publicly accessible wireless network was installed in city hall which provides internet access to the City Council Chambers.
Each building also received an upgrade in inter-building communications, with a 10 fold increase utilizing fiber optics or the city's point to point wireless network.
