Cocoa Beach, FL
Location: USA
Abstract:
Cocoa Beach is a small beach town on the eastern Space Coast of Florida with a population of approximately 12,000, and a need to service the tourist flow from Orlando. In 2004 the city set up a wireless network to connect laptop computers in police cruisers, and subsequently expanded that to allow officers to write reports and check other information from their vehicles, as well as turn on and off iights and other security measures at public spaces. In 2005 the city purchased a suite of wireless devices from Integrated Parking Solutions, a Chicago-based company specializing in wireless technology for parking and other transportation and public safety needs. Testing began on vehicle sensing technology in parking meters and parking enforcement notification. This was the first network of its kind. The system was deployed in a test phase in October of 2006 to test real cost-saving and operational efficiency.
