The scope of this project was to assess the viability of using city assets (ducting, street cabinets, access chambers) in
developing and expanding a city owned high-speed, high-capacity fiber network to connect any council buildings,
operational depots and any other city-owned data sources.

• To expand the existing CCTV fiber network and connect City Hall and the Emergency Services Campus (Munster
Regional Control Centre and Limerick City Fire Station)
• To upgrade older analogue CCTV to IP CCTV to create additional capacity in the existing fiber networks. To transfer
traffic controllers to this network and reduce communication costs
• To enable the roll-out of additional CCTV (e.g. the Limerick Canal walkway as part of Smarter Travel Limerick,
Regeneration CCTV)
• To develop a dedicate infrastructure for Wi-Fi and IoT pilots as part of the Howleys Quay re-development

• To provide a live connection to An Garda Síochána (Police) to 2 major CCTV centers

Figure 9. Creating High-Speed, High-Capacity Municipal Data Network

Limerick City & County Council wanted to use existing city infrastructure assets to create a high-speed, high-capacity
municipal data network, a backbone for connecting any council buildings, city data sources (CCTV, Traffic controllers,
Wi-Fi, etc.) and support the future roll-out of IoT.

The following entities are involved on this initiative: Limerick Regeneration, An Garda Síochána, Munster Regional
Communications Centre, and Bandwidth Telecommunications

Limerick Regeneration is responsible for the Framework Implementation Plan one of the largest capital programs in
the State. The Plan includes a €253m investment on physical, €30m on social and €10m on economic programs.

and other agencies with the Munster region.
