Hotwire Communications worked closely with Plantation officials during every phase of the project design and implement a network infrastructure that addresses the specified needs of the City while also allowing for future needs to be met, including scalability for Smart City applications, such as energy-saving smart lighting, traffic sensors to manage vehicular and foot traffic better, and public access Wi-Fi. Our time and effort were dedicated to meeting with City leadership to ensure the design matched their vision for the network and seamless deployment.

It was also necessary to address numerous environmental and unforeseen circumstances, including inclement weather conditions, a significant amount of coral that was discovered during trenching and boring, and precise coordination of efforts to complete all construction work within the agreed-upon timetable.

By collaborating with other vendors, Hotwire Communications successfully deployed a dark and lit fiber network with a 10 Gigabit backbone with a 1 Gigabit connection at each of the 27 locations. The City’s personnel were trained in the proper operation and management of the network, which was then turned over to the sole proprietary ownership of Plantation.
