TO: <br />CC: <br />INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM <br />A <br />Department of Innovation & Technology <br />� /J <br />, City of South Bend 227 W Jefferson Blvd <br />t tier <br />Board of Public Works, Linda Martin <br />FROM: <br />SUBJECT: <br />DATE: <br />Dan O'Connor, Michael Schmidt, Clara McDaniels, Benjamin Dougherty, Sandi <br />Kennedy <br />Michael Sniadecki <br />Wireless Controller (WLC) Consolidation <br />11/14/2018 <br />Linda and Members of the Board <br />We are submitting for review and approval of the consolidation of wireless networks and Wireless <br />Controllers (WLC) between the City of South Bend, Century Center, and Downtown free )DTSB) Wi-Fi. <br />COSB is taking over DTSB Wi-Fi infrastructure, added Century Center earlier this year and all including <br />COSB have Wireless Controllers that have been announced as end -of -life. COSB needs not only to <br />replace these WLCs, but upgrade to accommodate/consolidate these three paired wireless controllers <br />into one High Availability (HA) controllers. Also, in this solution is a Meraki Firewall for <br />security/protection that is also capable of handling Content Filtering that is to be implemented for <br />public-guest/free Wi-Fi access only throughout the City. <br />This solution will also help COSB to separate it internal network and public-guest/free Wi-Fi network in <br />very near future. This will greatly reduce our security risks within COSB's internal network. The Office of <br />Innovation and Technology team reviewed the quote and give favorable recommendation. Network <br />Solutions does have the State QPA and will assist in the implementation of this solution. <br />Thank you. <br />Michael Sniadecki <br />
