objective
The objective of the PIRAÍ Digital City project
is to grant democratic access to existing
information and communication resources, thus
generating economic and social opportunities,
therefore broadening the city horizons by using
and managing knowledge through the implementation
of a voice/data transmission network to make the
access to the broadband internet possible. This
project confirms the strategic vision of a local
information society, with citizens as the main
actors in producing, managing and enjoying the
benefits brought by new information and
communication technologies.

Now a little bit of history about this network
17
The first network design was only with wireless
support, like this one. But this network was too
expensive
Phases 3 (Green Orange and Red) Access points
25 Cost US 235.000,00
18
The first network design was then optimized with
cable connection between the buildings. It
involved hard work studying the best connection
case by case
Phases 1 (Green) Access points 35 (40
more) Cost US 100.000,00 (58 less)
19
Access points 44 Schools 18 Cost US 340.000,00
In the future all schools will be connected to
this network, so they can work as one.

Conclusion

• This Program is the only one in Brazil that joins
  these four areas, dot.gov, dot.org, dot.edu and
  dot.com, usually the dot.com is not integrated in
  these type of programs, the main reason of this
  integration is to support the sustainability and
  continuity of the program
