Description: Contract implementation for wireless camera systems for multiple area stations
within the City of LA. Initial contract award of $1.3M included Mission, Topanga, West Valley
and Foothill Area Stations. Expansions with Southwest and 77 h division. Others in planned
stages. Cameras cover high crime areas, including Housing Authority locations throughout Los
Angeles. CelPlan also provided wireless camera systems for LAX (airport) perimeter protection.
Still under contract for maintenance services. Initial contract in October 2012, with various

Phone: +1 714.375.8457
E-mail: CApostoli@hbpd.org
Description: In initial phases, the project includes a combination of wireless fixed and PTZ
megapixel cameras to cover the downtown areas. System uses WiMAX-style backhaul
technology, to bridge several miles between the cameras in the downtown and the municipal
campus area. Software is enabled to enable access by hand-held devices (such as iPhone, iPad,
PDA, etc.). Phase 2 is currently in deployment, with goal of implementation in 1.5 months.
Project includes servers, and monitor systems. Budget (initial phases) of $350k. Initial September
2013, with first expansion in April 2014; still under contract for maintenance services.

Other References and Experience
CelPIan's Wi4Net division represents unique experience in providing turn -key large-scale surveillance
solutions to public safety and government organizations. Wi4Net customers include the City of Los
Angeles, the City of Las Vegas, the City of Long Beach, the City of Richmond and the City of
Milwaukee. The City of Long Beach deployment (dating back to 2006!) is still considered one of the first
and largest wireless, citywide video surveillance systems deployed in the United States, and generally
considered a showcase of what is possible in wireless surveillance. Multiple deployments have grown to
well over hundred cameras per system.
The Long Beach project is highlighted below, along with the Las Vegas, McAllen, Milwaukee, Reading,
Modesto and Los Angeles projects. Others available upon request.

Long Beach, CA
Currently a 200+-camera citywide camera system, signals are streamed
wirelessly, simultaneously and continuously, to a monitoring command center
equipped with six 40" screens and four 17" screens. The monitoring system
offers 30 days of storage, utilizing an 18 TB storage area network solution.
Exclusively using the 4.9 GHz band for all video streaming, all cameras
connect wirelessly to a single aggregation point. The system is live monitored
during critical times, such as Friday and Saturday nights. This system, initially
deployed in 2006 was considered the first and largest wireless mesh,
downtown camera project in the United States. Unique about the system is how
many cameras (over 50) stream in only the licensed 4.9 GHz band to a single
aggregation point. To our knowledge, this is not achieved anywhere else in the
United States. Unique also are the introduction of our multi -radio approach and
local "edge" storage back from 2006, and has been mirrored by many others since.
Las Vegas, NV
Initially a 50-camera system, the Las Vegas system now includes about 200 camera connections, with the
solution supporting also downtown wireless PTZ pole camera systems, in addition fixed and temporary
uses. Las Vegas police department also uses the system for various covert operations.

McAllen, TX
With a focus on downtown sections and City parks, the initial phase of the McAllen project includes 100+
cameras. With a strong emphasis on license plate recognition, the system features a mix of PTZ and fixed
megapixel cameras. Already, the system was expanded to 150+ cameras, including integration with
convention center security system and other facility cameras and systems.
The system is based on a hybrid fiber -wireless mesh backhaul infrastructure.
Milwaukee, WI
With a 60+ node wireless mesh network design, the system provides coverage throughout the City's 96
square mile, and supports 7 districts and 7 district offices. The initial phase deployed 15 wireless cameras,
with additional expansion phases adding 3, 12, 7 and 4 cameras for a current total of 41. The central
command center, monitored 24/7, features a server with Storage Area Network supporting 30 TB of
storage capacity (for 120 days of storage). 24/7 monitoring staff supports the police operations, and
improves efficiencies. Many successes have been covered in the media.

Catch Cr0minals
Crime cameras
Reading, PA
In an effort to reduce crime, and improve the City, the City of Reading and Police Department have
deployed initial phases with currently 28-cameras, with plans to expand to 75. The system is live
4 CelPlan References
monitored at most times, and has provided many successes from the start. On average, 45 -60 minutes of
relevant footage is extracted every week for purposes of evidence, which is among the highest rates of
any system.
The system features a hybrid fiber — wireless infrastructure with mobility mesh access layer for access to
vehicles and other purposes.
Modesto, CA
In this project, CelPlan designed and implemented for the City of Modesto an IP-based centralized
surveillance solution, to reach critical locations in the down -town area, but also integrate with the largest
local shopping mall security system, and various municipal in -building security systems, such as the
police department, bus yard and transit center (expanded to 100+ cameras). Backhaul design is a fiber -
wireless hybrid solution.
The system has been highly successful and assisted in solving about 20 cases within the first 12 months of
operation, including prevention and arrest of four perpetrators in a case of rape and murder attempt in
progress.
Los Angeles, CA
In this project, CelPlan was awarded an initial contract for four of LAPD's police area stations to
establish local camera systems for high crime areas / hotspots in the area for monitoring from the local
area stations. The initial contract award includes systems for Mission, Foothill, Topanga and West Valley,

with expansions planned for Southwest (completed) and other area stations. The goal of the contract has
been to establish a standard for citywide surveillance system throughout the City of Los Angeles.
All deployed systems have had immediate successes covered in the media.
Consistent (CelPlan) wireless IP-based camera technology was also deployed at the perimeters of LAX
airport.
