  1. New York City and Wireless Technology

  2. Mobile Telecom Franchise (MTF)

  3. Several Routes Who Owns it? Who Operates it? Who Uses it? Who Pays for it? Each combination has its own ADVANTAGES and DISadvantages Government ? Private Sector? Individuals? Mixed? Franchising?

  4. Government--Right Tool for this Job? • Stifling Competition? • Is the government an unfair competitor? • What services already exist? • Government Expertise? • Can the government do a better job than the private sector? • Can the government keep pace with market changes or new technologies? • Regulations? • Priorities? • What is an acceptable Return on Investment? • Does this serve all constituents?

  5. Enhancing Mobile Networks through Franchising Franchising Allowing private companies to occupy the City’s Rights of Way for a fee • Encourages entrepreneurship and innovation • Allows private companies access to extensive real estate • Allows companies to improve existing networks and build new ones • Encourages sustainable business models and Return on Investment • Can accommodate diverse constituent needs • Maximizes value of City property • Encourages efficient use of resources • Municipal revenue

  6. Mobile Telecom Franchise (MTF) Allows company to: • install and use telecommunications equipment and facilities, including base station and access point facilities, for mobile telecom, on • City street light poles • traffic light poles • highway sign support poles [over 200,000 poles citywide] • install and use related facilities (e.g. connecting fiber)

  7. MTF in NYC • 1996 Franchise awarded to Metricom. They eventually installed 3,000 antennas citywide for their Ricochet system, a mobile high-speed internet service.

  8. 2003 • NYC looks for ways to improve wireless connectivity and initiates a self reported survey of poor cell phone coverage through 311

  9. MTF in NYC • 2004 City re-released updated Request for Proposals for Mobile Telecom Franchises, resulting in the granting of 6 franchises. • 2005 1st Reservation Phase started in June and the first installations are expected by the end of the year.

  10. City’s Objectives • Support the Growth in use of mobile telecommunications in both business and personal context • Provide Alternative Communications outlets • Increase Revenue for City by making city-owned property available for facilities • Improve Existing Wireless Networks • Improvement and expansion of service in Underserved Areas of the city

  11. New York City’s Mobile Telecom Franchises • Maximum of 3,000 poles citywide per franchisee • Maximum of 15 year agreement • Equipment Design requires Art Commission Approval • Equipment Installation primarily at intersections • City divided into 3 Zones—A, B, C • Base Compensation • Compensation per pole

  12. Franchisees

  13. Zones Zone A: Manhattan South of 96th Street Zone B: Citywide excluding Zones A and C Zone C: Community Districts where > or = 5% of the occupied housing units do not have telephone service (2000 U.S. Census): MN 10, 11, BX 1-7, BK 3-5, 16

  14. Zones Zone C only : $10,000/yr. Zones B and C only: $50,000/yr. Zones A, B, and C: $100,000/yr. A:min $250 /pole/month B:min $50 /pole/month C:min $10 /pole/month

  15. Working in the Electronic Age— Technology to Better Manage Technology • Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Mapping • Global Positioning System (GPS) Accuracy • Electronic Databases and Applications (e.g. Poletop Manager) • Internet • Digital Photos • Electronic file sharing

  16. Working in the Electronic Age • Efficiency • Accuracy of Data • Speed • Accessibility • Level of Service • Productivity • Coordination

  17. Benefits • Encourages sustainable business models and Return on Investment • Supports continued growth in use of mobile telecommunications • Diverse Technologies • Accommodate diverse constituent needs • Maximizes value of City property • Minimal municipal investment • Keep pace with emerging technologies • Competitive pricing • Reliable Network • New ways to view government assets

  21. Key Participating City Agencies • FDNY/EMS • NYPD • OEM • DOT • DoITT

  22. Classes of Applications • Class 1 – Wireless public safety (high- speed data and video) • Class 2 – Wireless Automatic Vehicle Location (“AVL”) • Class 3 – Wireless call boxes for emergency services • Class 4 – Wireless Vehicular Traffic Control

  23. Class 1-Wireless Public Safety(high- speed data and video) • Wireless access to Internet/Intranet applications • Large data and image file transfer (including fingerprints and images of wanted or missing persons, maps and building blueprints). • Full Motion Video to/from vehicles • Streaming video from emergency scenes to Command Centers • Continuous environmental monitoring and control • 5,000 to 10,000 subscriber devices Wireless Network

  24. Class 2-Wireless Automatic Vehicle Location (“AVL”) • Wireless centralized tracking of the locations of all of the City’s NYPD, FDNY/EMS and other non-emergency vehicles; enabling the operators of emergency vehicles to establish their own precise locations and determine the best routes to take to respond to requests for assistance. • 5,000 to 10,000 units citywide

  25. Class 3-Wireless Emergency Call Box • Installation of wireless call boxes in public locations that would be used by the public to summon emergency dispatch services when needed. • Initial 1,000 call boxes, up to 19,000 call boxes citywide 911 PSAC Wireless Network

  26. Class 4-Wireless Vehicular Traffic Control • Wireless infrastructure for the Department of Transportation’s Vehicular Traffic Control System (“VTCS”), which provides direct, on-line control of the traffic signals located throughout the City on a real-time basis. • Up to 8,000 traffic lights citywide DOT Traffic Control Center

  27. Network/RFP Technical Requirements Requirements • Defined Specifications for: • Data Throughput • In-Street Coverage • High Speed Mobility • Security • Reliability • Scalability • IP-Addressing • Network Management • Integrated to support multiple • Classes of Applications

  28. SOLICITATION APPROACHSystems Integrator • The request for proposals solicited “proposals from Systems Integrators to design, construct, manage, maintain and provide user equipment for a Citywide Wireless Network.” • Technology and spectrum “agnostic” http://www.nyc.gov/html/doitt/html/miscs/rfp_mobile_wireless.shtml

  29. SOLICITATION APPROACHPhases I & II • Phase I (“Pilot”) – One or more systems integrators will install its/their proposed network(s) in a defined area of NYC for a limited time and demonstrate all classes of applications. • 12 Weeks/Primarily Lower Manhattan • Phase II (“Full Implementation”) – Based on the Pilot evaluation, a systems integrator may selected for citywide implementation.
