Local government managers are faced with balancing increased taxpayer demand for improved services with reduced budgets and rising costs.

Local government managers are struggling to develop strategies and to employ tools for reducing on-going costs and improve operational efficiency while maintaining or increasing services.

A wide range of data and voice communications wireless technologies are available that help local government managers increase operating efficiencies, reduce operating costs, improve services to the taxpayers, and satisfy political mandates with technical solutions. Examples of these technologies are:

Wireless / two-way voice & data communications, and dispatch and communications systems for improved response and personnel deployment.
Automatic vehicle location (AVL) systems for improved resource and fleet management.
Status and reporting data systems for improved resource utilization.
Automatic vehicle monitoring systems to quickly identify fleet problems and analyze transit system utilization for maximum efficiency.
High reliability alarm reporting systems for instant notification of dangerous operating conditions or security concerns.
Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems to automatically monitor and control pumps and valves and initiate immediate notification when operations fall outside acceptable limits.
