Broadband fiber optics enhances public safety information and procedures for improved efficiency in the public interest. Benefits include:
Early warning public alert systems and disaster preparation programs as well as backup systems for public safety communications networks
Safety benefits that can be passed on to the public through instantaneous access to information in times of crisis
Fiber networks’ inherent signal security, making them difficult to tap
Enabling advanced telecommunication systems to be implemented so that the public has access to public service operation centers
Increased speed – as much as 400 times faster – at which data transfer functions between municipality headquarters and field projects can be accomplished, saving time and money and enabling better decision-making in the public’s interest
