DPS Needs Consoles

Mon, 04 Nov 2002 14:41:50 GMT

I am finally working on a product in my Wireless Services product. The Department of Public Safety is needing new dispatch consoles, and I have been asked to write a business case for providing financing for them. Apparently this is how we did it for them in the past. Basically, we buy the consoles for them, install them, maintain them, and charge them a monthly fee until they are completely depreciated. This way DPS doesn't have to go to the legislature and ask for more money, because they already have a budget for making those payments. I just have to figure out all of the details and make sure it is a good business decision.

I love my wifi connection. It is so cool to be able to take my laptop into a meeting and do work during meetings as I currently am doing. I just explained RSS and Blogging to a Portal/Content Management meeting, and I can actually be doing it at the same time with my wireless connection. I don't concern myself with the security issues as much as other folks. I know there is some risk, but I have only so much bandwidth for worrying, and it seems like I should not worry about things that I am not responsible for. It would be cool to go warflying like phil did yesterday. Although I am a commercially licensed pilot, I don't have the requisite GPS or wireless card. Need a copilot Phil?

I'm glad you took the time to read my blog on Wireless Services. I hope that you will come back often and find the information useful.

Here's the current scoop on the wireless product family:

I am reasonably familiar with the products in this family. Because of urgent issues in other product families I manage, and because of the stability and success of this product family, I have not been able to devote any time to it. I hope that will change in the near future.
