Wireless Campuses Are Becoming Wireless Community Clouds
Public Safety Driving Community Broadband Wireless broadband networks can be deployed quickly for
use by city employees and safety personnel
Multiple sources of government funding are available to help support these public safety networks
Once a network is in place, it can be used by multiple members of the community: Schools and universities Hospitals and clinics Local merchants, hospitality and tourism providers Sports and cultural venues
Wireless is an attractive way to cover large sections of cities, suburbs or rural areas not served by DSL or cable

Public Safety Communication: Drivers for ChangeInteroperability and Collaboration for Emergency Services
Emergency services, civic leaders and government agencies need the right information, at the right time, in order to make the right decisions during major incidents. They need interoperability across agency boundaries and situational awareness
Public Safety solutions using mobile devices and wireless broadband can transform how the emergency services manage information flow and communications in order to offer dramatically improved government services during incidents and disasters.

Threat Model
–Insider/Employee Threat
–Tailgating / Bringing in packages
–User Threat
–Passengers / Contractors /Visitor – screening
–Outsider Threat
–Addressed by perimeter security Response
–During the attack -- real-time alerts
–After the fact – investigative / forensic role
–Predictive / Preventive – data mining to discover unusual activity.

The Digital Community of the Future: Summary
We can connect to the “Community Network” everywhere through a wide range of devices
Information can be obtained instantly
Each device in the city become part of a dynamic mesh or “grid” of wireless devices
We can move “seamlessly” between different connections without interruption
Public service workers communicate using common, flexible, secure infrastructure
City maintenance and environmental costs are lower
Quality of life is higher

Broadband Wireless drives Digital Communities
Communities that will thrive in the increasingly turbulent market environment will be those that can transform themselves by
connecting government services with their populace, via low-cost Internet access, fusing the best of emerging technologies and new
business models to accelerate value creation.
