FROM INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY ITEM NO 35
WARD ALL
SUBJECT AGREEMENT WITH SBC INTERNET SERVICES INC DBA AT T
INTERNET SERVICES AT T FOR CITY WIDE WIFI AND PUBLIC
SAFETY WIRELESS NETWORKS AND SERVICES
ISSUE
The City s goal is to have an educated and technologically sophisticated population One wayto achieve this goal is to provide free internet service as well as no cost computers to
disadvantaged citizens at no cost In April of 2006 the City issued a Request for ProposalsRFP for the construction of a wireless system that would provide free City wide Internet
services and associated Public Safety wireless communications An agreement has been
negotiated with AT T which would provide such a system
RECOMMENDATIONS
That the City Council
1 Approve the Wireless Broadband Service Agreement and Pole Attachment and
Electrical Power Agreement between the City and AT T for the creation of a Citywide wireless network with associated free fee and public safety services
2 Approve providing as an in kind contribution all City permit and attachment fees and
costs for power associated with build out and operation of City wide WiFi
3 Designate and authorize the City s Chief Information Officer to make certain
operational decisions related to the build out of the network as further described in
the agreements
BACKGROUND
1 Introduction
It is estimated that nearly 30 000 residents in Riverside are without a computer and access to the
Internet In order to bridge this digital divide the City has established a dedicated resource to
operate the City s Digital Inclusion efforts The goals are to refurbish 250 personal computers per
month and make them available to various training programs throughout the City where residents
can obtain a free system after successful completion of an introductory course Initially the programwill provide resources for introductory access to internet services through a variety of Internet
service providers Once the City s City wide wireless is in place the program will provide freewireless access devices as donations allow such that these systems can gain free broadband
services from anywhere within the City s developed boundaries
Riverside Community On line now SmartRiverside a non profit corporation implemented the
City s first free wireless solution in downtown in 2004 The City was one ofthe first in the nation tohave free wireless and has expanded it to over 35 square blocks over the past 2 years throughprivate and public donations SmartRiverside s goal is to take wireless City wide due to new trends
and directions in the market place that would allow this to be done at little to no cost for the City
The City agreed with this goal Accordingly in April of 2006 the City issued an RFP for such a
Citywide free wireless system Six responses were received AT T MetroFi Azulstar
Riverside MetroConnect WiFi Citywide LLC VeriLAN and ACS All six vendors came in and
presented to an evaluation team consisting of both City staff and Riverside private sector
companies From the presentations three were elevated to preliminary negotiations with AT T
selected as the finalist based upon the scope and value of services offered
2 Attributes of the Wireless Network
Riverside s Police Department acquired 4 9Ghz frequencies which the federal government allocatedfor Public Safety Use only The technology in the past 1 2 years has changed to allow both WiFi
Wireless Fidelity or 802 11 and Public Safety 4 9Ghz networks to co exist in the same hardware
allowing for the combining ofdeployments and reducing costs This proposal includes the build out
of 4 9Ghz City wide in those developed areas where light poles exist
The free portion of the City wide network will allow for speeds of 512Kbps down and 256Kbps upThis is a best effort network meaning the more users on the system the slower it may become
However AT T has agreed to add capacity if necessary to keep the system from deteriorating due
to growing customerdemand It will offer premium services to allow for higher levels ofservice and
very aggressive pricing plans for those looking for dependable speed
In order to allow all citizens to take advantage of the City wide WiFi network a Digital Inclusion
program is already underway The intent is to provide 250 used computers per month for anyhouseholds in Riverside with combined annual incomes of less than 45K Upon successful
completion of an 8 12 hour training class these PCs will be donated on a one computer perhousehold basis AT T will provide donations and revenue sharing from this effort to fund many of
the training programs computer refurbishment and wireless access devices for the donated used
computers
3 City Anchor Tenancy and Build out of Network
Each department in the City has been contacted to determine what their current communication
costs are and what the projected new use may be Many departments are looking for wireless
surveillance solutions that will only be made available once the network is in place Departmentsthat have T 1 lines will realize a monthly reduction of between 20o and 30 The City currentlyuses commercial carrier wireless cards at 59 79 month for mobile workers and with these
agreements it will be able to have a faster 1 Mbps vs 384Kbps service for 24 95 month ManyCity departments have been waiting for wireless solutions for key City services such as meter
