Public WiFi at the Knoxville City County Building

 

Like most municipalities, the staff of Knoxville County is forced each year to accept more work with the same or even less resources.  A request for public wifi had been in the works and upon receiving a grant, the Knoxville Public Building Authority issued an RFP for a vendor to design, install, and support wifi at the KCCB facility. The PBA had to ensure it met the Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA) and the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).  DeltaSouth designed and deployed a wireless network which covers 3 floors of the KCCB at almost 70,000 square feet per floor.  The network allows attorneys, judges, employees, and the public to use their devices anywhere onsite.  It provides content filtering, blocks illegal music and movie swapping, and limits bandwidth, all while maintaining compliance stipulations and keeping individual devices safe.
