Professional Development Seminar and Training

Wireless-Enabled Digital Video Surveillance

Wireless-enabled video surveillance is fast emerging as a flexible tool for a broad range of government applications:

  • Crime deterrence and detection
  • Remote incident tracking
  • Traffic management
  • E-sentencing
  • Infrastructure monitoring, etc.

Moreover, the flexibility and performance of broadband-wireless networks has become one of the preferred methods for cost-effectively deploying these systems.

At the same time, project managers planning a network are confronted with a range of policy choices when determining which technologies and configurations to implement. Overt versus covert requirements, storage guidelines and capacities, image-resolution tradeoffs and analytics are just a few of the variables impacting network design and technology selection.

Attend the W2i Professional Development Seminar and Training

The W2i Training Academy invites government wireless stakeholders to share experiences with their peers and advance their knowledge at the Wireless-Enabled Digital Video Surveillance Professional Development Seminar and Training in Atlanta.

Developed by W2i in cooperation with IBM, Northrop Grumman and Firetide, this day-long session will explore the contemporary environment around — and strategies for deploying — digital video surveillance systems for a broad range of applications and locations, providing participants with the practical tools they need to tackle projects with confidence and success, including:

  • A set of environmental assessment and planning tools
  • Detailed video-surveillance application scenarios
  • A comprehensive solutions tutorial
  • Review and analysis of landmark case studies
  • Set of planning and implementation templates
  • Scenario lab exercises and debriefing

The New York City Wireless Network (NYCWiN) built by Northrop Grumman is the featured case study at the seminar.

Who Should Attend?

  • State and local government CIOs, telecom managers, network managers, video surveillance project managers.
  • State and local government emergency response, public safety and other agency CIOs, telecom managers, network managers, video surveillance project managers.
  • Public venue security managers including, sports venues, malls and other large retail establishments.
  • Public works executives responsible for safety monitoring and maintenance of public works infrastructure such as bridges, dams and highways.
  • Large industrial facilities security managers such as, industrial parks, ports, airports, mines, and refineries.
  • Broadband wireless and related applications systems integrators, consultants, service providers, infrastructure technology and application vendor business development and systems engineering managers

Assessing the Environment for Video Surveillance Applications (08:30 - 09:30)
What are the different usages, purposes and placements for video surveillance? What are the critical success factors for a fully evolved system end to end?

  • Raymond Cooke, Global Business Development Executive, Chief Architect - Public Safety / Digital Video Surveillance, IBM Global Technology Services

Video Surveillance Applications and Their Requirements (09:30 - 10:30)
What are the scenarios? What are the requirements attached to each? What are some of the vital and non-obvious architectural drivers for the information itself and the infrastructure that sustains it?

  • Raymond Cooke, Global Business Development Executive, Chief Architect - Public Safety / Digital Video Surveillance, IBM Global Technology Services

Network Infrastructure Solutions Tutorial (10:45 - 12:15)
This session explores specific design issues and real-world constraints associated with NYCWiN, the $500-million wireless data network implemented by Northrop Grumman in New York City. What were some of the decisions and challenges faced by project planners and engineers?

  • Larry Knafo, Director and Regional Client Executive, New York City Public Sector Practice, Northrop Grumman; Former Deputy CIO, New York City

Lunch Break (12:15 - 01:15)

Structured Brainstorm Workshop (01:15 - 02:45)
What are the wireless-video decisions confronting your community? Discussant will review material from the morning and then lead an interactive session to gather participants' questions and prioritize concerns.

  • Michael Dillon, Vice President, Business Development, Firetide; Industry and Law-Enforcement Veteran

Solutions Lab (03:00 - 04:00)
Participants will learn about a set of challenges and extremes associated with a real-world deployment and then be invited to brainstorm recommendations for tackling them.

  • Raymond Cooke, Global Business Development Executive, Chief Architect - Public Safety / Digital Video Surveillance, IBM Global Technology Services
  • Larry Knafo, Director and Regional Client Executive, New York City Public Sector Practice, Northrop Grumman; Former Deputy CIO, New York City
  • Michael Dillon, Vice President, Business Development, Firetide; Industry and Law-Enforcement Veteran

Lab Review (04:00 - 04:45)
Participants are encouraged to compare notes from the Lab and discuss possible solutions.
