Background and Discussion:
Harris County maintains approximately 400 miles of fiber communication and a cellular/LTE system that collectively connect more than 1100 traffic signals. The infrastructure allows the maintenance personnel to determine the operation of a signal remotely and proactively resolve issues with traffic signals. The communication infrastructure requires annual maintenance. The maintenance contract for the fiber communication expires October 2026 and a new contract is needed to continue maintenance of the communication infrastructure.
Expected Impact:
Continual maintenance of the fiber and cellular communication infrastructure to ensure proper operation.
Alternative Options:
Failure to maintain the communication infrastructure may result in operational failure of the communication network. Alternative option is to require technicians to physically check each traffic signal, which is very inefficient and will rely on constituents reporting issues versus proactively identifying and resolving issues.
