Alaska Department of Transportation Connects People, Data, and
Equipment Along the States’s Most Remote Roads
With the Internet of Everything,
the Alaska Department of
Transportation is gaining:
The ability to expand as needed
to broaden reach, improve safety
and responsiveness, and achieve
significant proess efficiency
Push-to-talk communication simplicity,
regardless of device
In remote nothern Alaska, ensuring safe
transportation of goods and services
across the vast wilderness of the 150mile Elliot Highway and the 414-mile
Dalton Highway can be difficult. To
improve safety for those traveling along
these roads, the Alaska Department of
Transportation and Public Facilities chose
to establish telephone, radio and Internet
communication capabilities along these
stretches of highway.
The state looked to Cisco and solutions
from the Internet of Everything (IoE).
Cisco® Services worked closely
with AT&T, New Horizons Telecom
and Enterprise Technology Services
Division with Alaska Department
of Administration to deploy Cisco
Connected Roadway Solutions, Unified
Communications solution, and Cisco
Instant Connect. These solutions are
now providing converged and networked
communications that is more reliable
than ever before drastically improving
secure operations in the most harsh
environments and extreme temperatures
to meet the most demanding needs. By
connecting people, process, data, and
things, the state will significantly improve
communications, safety, and emergency
response in the field.
“Now that we can connect our roadways with a Cisco solution, it’s just a matter of
time of deploying and testing time. The sky is the limit.”
