With the help of ALE, we are making Fortaleza an even better place for our citizens to live and work. Modernizing our infrastructure is one of the pillars of our strategy to make Fortaleza one of the most cutting-edge cities in Brazil.
Challenges
- The Prefeitura de Fortaleza has been modernizing its infrastructure to provide better and more efficient service to citizens. After investing in over 300 kilometers of fiber optic cables, the city wanted to upgrade its data network.
- The municipality needed a solution that offered swift implementation across its many departments: administration, education, healthcare, security, etc.
- It also had to be robust and reliable enough to power new Internet of Things (IoT) devices, including CCTV cameras to improve public safety.
- Affordability was a key requirement since Brazilian government agencies are required to conduct an eAuction to select contractors.
