Redevelopment complex
gets safety and additional
features with mesh radio
W
hen your facility is a multi-faceted, multifamily development that needs video security and
additional safety and accountability, you need
robust and reliable communications. In the example
of the Milford Redevelopment & Housing Partnership
(MRHP), Milford, Conn., a mesh network radio communications deployment fit the bill.
In 2011, MRHP released an open architecture
bid for a facilities-wide wireless video security and
access control system. The objective of the wireless
infrastructure was to provide a highly reliable and
available high-speed 100MB connection to multiple
cameras that would allow high quality remote realtime viewing to system users across the network.
MRHP provides housing assistance to low income
residents through the management of programs such
as Low Rent Public Housing and the Housing Choice
