The mission of the Networks Division Wireless Communications Unit is to build a common physical infrastructure supporting a publicly owned and operated, interoperable public safety wireless voice, data, fax and imaging communications system in partnership with local jurisdictions. The infrastructure consists of communications towers, equipment shelters and microwave and/or fiber connectivity between sites. The Unit administers the wireless system with oversight provided by a governing board and steering committee.
Guiding principles of the Unit are the prudent management of State wireless assets, maintenance of strong partnerships and institutionalization of planning and implementation processes and procedures. The Unit provides radio frequency coordination for state and local agencies, innovative and cost effective IT wireless security strategies, and the mobile devices and services statewide policy for cellular telephones and services.
