The city is seeking to build “world-class telecommunications infrastructure for the 21st century and beyond,” a news release said.
Short-term projects for the new network include supporting core city services like traffic signal management and data management systems for public safety, the release said.
In the long-term, the fiber infrastructure could support gigabit-speed internet services to homes and “smart city” projects, like smart streets that could facilitate more efficient transportation.
