Wireless Oakland Project Team Releases County-wide Wireless Internet Service RFQ
On Friday, April 29, 2005, the Wireless Oakland Project Team, on behalf of the yet to be formed Wireless Oakland Public Corporation (WOPC), issued its Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to obtain SEALED proposals for the design, installation, operation, management, and maintenance of a proposed county-wide wireless network and internet service.
The wireless network will be owned, installed, operated, managed, and/or maintained by the selected qualified Respondent(s). The County has articulated specific requirements that will be required of Respondents (potential private partners) and is soliciting creative technical and business solutions that could provide wireless internet service to all of the County's 1.2 million residents, over 40,000 businesses and countless visitors.
