Three-Tier Wireless Communication Network in Sugar Land, Texas

The City of Sugar Land, Texas is constructing a wireless communication network to provide access to the City’s traffic signals and other traffic related devices. This network will allow City employees to monitor and adjust traffic signal timing, view images from closed circuit television (CCTV) cameras, and provide access to other City employees working remotely in the field such as police officers, building inspectors and public works employees. This project utilizes eight high sites to develop a wireless backbone. The high sites communicate with the traffic signal through point-to-multipoint radios to transmit signal information, CCTV video and provide Wireless Access Points. Fiber Optic interfaces are provided to bring the information back to the Traffic Management Center at two locations.
