[Scanner] Whew! NYC

[WORKSNTV at aol.com]

New York City has issued an RFP for a "citywide wireless mobile network" for 
its public safety agencies, hoping to receive bids from wireless carriers that 
can meet some pretty tough requirements: 95% street coverage, 2 Mbps 
throughput, redundancy, encryptions, etc. The city is also setting the bar pretty high 
for applications, including traffic signal control for emergency units; 
transmission of large database files such as building design, construction and 
floor plans, mug shots, fingerprints and criminal records; full motion video; 
continuous biological, chemical, nuclear and radiological monitoring at selected 
sites; patient vital signs, electrocardiograms, and other biometrics to 
receiving hospitals; wireless emergency service call boxes; AVL; continuous 
monitoring of water flow and purity; white boarding; and voice over IP to backup 
emergency radio, landline or cellular services. Download the bid materials at:
