DISCUSSION
The Information Services Division (ISD) of the Finance and Management
Services Agency is responsible for providing wireless data communication
services and related infrastructure for use citywide. To ensure the
highest possible quality mobile computing service, ISD requires licensing
of specialized wireless mobility software. The software will provide
centralized, flexible tools for managing applications, devices, and users
in a wireless network environment thus allowing ISD to have more complete
control over the City's mobile computing environment.
Current agencies utilizing wireless data include the Police Department, the
Public Library, and the Planning and Building Agency. The Police
Department uses wireless data communication to provide mobile access in
patrol vehicles and other computerized law enforcement-related systems; the
Library uses wireless data communication to connect its bookmobile to the
Library's management software; and the Planning and Building Agency is in
the early stages of using wireless data communication to support field
operations. In addition, other agencies are currently developing computer
systems that will use wireless data communications for mobile access to
their systems.
