To ensure the <br />highest possible quality mobile computing service, ISD requires licensing <br />of specialized wireless mobility software. The software will provide <br />centralized, flexible tools for managing applications, devices, and users <br />in a wireless network environment thus allowing ISD to have more complete <br />control over the City's mobile computing environment. <br /> <br />Current agencies utilizing wireless data include the Police Department, the <br />Public Library, and the Planning and Building Agency. The Police <br />Department uses wireless data communication to provide mobile access in <br />patrol vehicles and other computerized law enforcement-related systems; the <br />Library uses wireless data communication to connect its bookmobile to the <br />Library's management software; and the Planning and Building Agency is in <br />the early stages of using wireless data communication to support field <br />operations. In addition, other agencies are currently developing computer <br />systems that will use wireless data communications for mobile access to <br />their systems. <br /> <br />The notice inviting bids was advertised on March 3 and 6, 2006 and bids <br />were solicited.
