At the time of the installation of Westfield's point to point wireless network, the Technology Center construction project was not complete. The network node designed for installation at the new facility was placed temporarily at a nearby fire station. With the facility completed the time had come to transfer the network equipment to it's final home atop the Center's radio tower.
Through early January, the city's wireless vendor in conjunction with Tech Center, Police and Fire department staff transferred the node to the Technology Center.
As a network backbone location, the Center will receive a ten fold increase in traffic throughput passing over the system. With its redundant power and cooling systems the Technology Center also provides a more reliable environment for the equipment.
Westfield's point to point wireless network provides transport of computer data as well as some public safety radio communications.
