The City of Lompoc was one of the earliest test beds for municipal Wi-Fi. Setting out to develop a wireless network for its 42,000 residents, Lompoc found itself with a service management system that was difficult to use and maintain. This system quickly became a burden for the Broadband Division and for the operating budget of LompocNet. Subscriptions to LompocNet – the City’s lower-cost alternative to paid residential broadband access – were frustratingly limited and difficult to manage.
City of Lompoc replaced the hard-to-manage service management “box” with Aptilo’s managed service offering. In three months of being up and running with Aptilo, LompocNet more than doubled in paying users. Customer satisfaction is now at an all-time high.

Drawing on lessons learned from the successful
OPSCAN project to point the way forward for
interoperability in public-safety and other sectors
By Shahid Ahmed and Rob Casselman.

government is crafting an effective,
coordinated response to emergencies.
With lives often at stake, effective
emergency response requires multiple
government and non-government
agencies working together in
a coordinated, collaborative
environment. That makes achieving
interoperability between their
communication systems vital.
The variety of personnel and
communications equipment
involved makes a high performance
solution mandatory and yet, an
extremely difficult goal to achieve.
