The California Department of Transportation needed a traffic monitoring system that was more intelligent, flexible, and cost-efficient. With the help of AT&T, Caltrans made the move from landlines to a wireless system that helps relieve traffic congestion.
AT&T's wireless traffic management solutions provide fast and remote data collection and flexible management with the reliability and nationwide coverage to be effective everywhere.
Wireless solutions from AT&T allow field workers and inspectors to work securely and remotely. Inspectors spend more time in the field, increasing productivity while reducing fuel costs, pollution, and wear and tear on vehicles.
