Local Authority / Public Sector
Reducing expenditure to incumbent national service providers
Local Authorities continually face pressures on their opex budgets, particularly in the provision of voice and data telecoms services, as internal demand for these grows.
Typically, a local authority will operate from a number of different buildings in a town or city, with each building effectively paying a separate access charge to the incumbent service provider for telecoms services. Connected Real Estate works with the local authority to 'link up' these buildings via cost effective public infrastructure, thereby reducing access charges.
Connected Real Estate can assist local authorities to develop the foundations for long term deployment of services that will encourage inward investment for business and the tools for a modern socially included society.
Forward thinking authorities are realising that by extending this public infrastructure, they can offer enhanced services including:
- IP CCTV, improved security and ANPR (automatic number plate recognition)
- Cost effective traffic management, traffic light control and real time public transport information
- Enhanced parking control
- Improved broadband access for education, museums and other public buildings
- Wider promotion and deployment of social inclusion services
