Contact usLocal governments are facing significant budget constraints, which may limit the ability to invest in new technologies and IT infrastructure. At the same time, the pandemic has accelerated the need for council services to be digitalised and for communities to become digitally literate.
Technology is the key to addressing these challenges: modern IT innovations increase efficiency and staff productivity, allowing local governments to do more with less and provide more personalised services to their citizens.
Reliable and secure wireless and wired infrastructure, integrated communications and collaboration, secure networks, and remote services – these are the hallmarks of modern local government IT infrastructure. The speed and delivery of public services greatly improve as large-scale digital innovations roll out with unprecedented speed. Today and into the future, the foundation of digital government rests on advanced technologies that directly affect the usefulness of the network.
Overcoming Digital Transformation ChallengesWired and wireless infrastructure, integrated communications and collaboration, secure networks, and remote services – these are the hallmarks of the modern government IT infrastructure. The speed and delivery of these public services greatly improve as large-scale digital innovations roll out with unprecedented speed. Today and into the future, the foundation of digital government relies on leading-edge technologies that directlyimpact the usefulness of your network.
Now – more than ever – it is important to implement new technologies that promote both security and ease-of-access across your network. Efficiency, community safety, and end-user satisfaction will reach new heights by incorporating hindsight, foresight, and real-time data analysis with a cohesive and all-encompassing control system, all aimed at significant improvements in public safety and situational awareness.
Digital transformation in local governments is more important than ever before, driven by increasing public expectations, the need for collaboration between governments, hybrid employees, organisations and citizens, data as an integral part of decision-making, and the need to access and process vast amounts of government information. The right mix of advanced technologies enables this transformation, improves public engagement, and drives smart city initiatives.

Know MoreProviding a seamless experience within modern local government requires the right technology. When you partner with Black Box, you can benefit from our extensive expertise, experience, and commitment to delivering effective, secure, and connected public services that reduce costs, optimise existing resources, and realise your digital transformation vision.
Regardless of task or purpose, the ideal network platform remains the same: a highly capable and adaptable system that brings every element of your access points and data storage facilities to the forefront of usefulness with secure and compliant technology solutions. Data must be visualized in a way that enables workers to access and manipulate information without costly and time-consuming hyper-specialized training. That data must then be accessible across a unified system allowing access from any number of desktops or facility control stations by one or many employees – encouraging collaboration where it is necessary but maintaining appropriate restrictions where they are needed.
Whether managing mission-critical data analysis in real-time, dispatching emergency responders, or communicating with the public, seamless technology must be secure, compliant, and meet the latest and most rigid security standards to help you achieve your objectives, meet your budget, and optimize your productivity without sacrificing public safety. Emergency operations centers (EOCs), 911 call centers, public safety answering points (PSAPs), and government agencies alike rely on critical information visualization and communication. Real-time video and the sharing of data between control centers and field workers results in maximum situational awareness and faster response times. When lives are in jeopardy, quick and complete communication often means the difference between success or failure.
We partner with civilian agencies, the armed services, state, and local governments as well as educational institutions to deploy leading-edge data and physical network solutions including device control and storage, visualization, collaboration, and cabling.
Operators will quickly respond to incoming calls, allocate appropriate resources and communicate with responders across multiple workstations from a single keyboard and mouse.
Crystal-clear visualization provides real-time analysis and monitoring of criminal threats and activities across fully scalable video walls while ensuring absolute security of information.
Ensure every response is timely and appropriate. Control room connectivity emboldens efficient and fail-safe critical operations with 4k over IP and fully scalable high-end displays in secure and unsecure domains.
Fully integrated traffic/security control rooms, crisis coordination centers and emergency operations nerve centers provide isolation and control to any number of KVM workstations.
Cyberthreats are more prevalent than ever and have become increasingly complex. Take full control of your entire network while monitoring critical events and allocating resources. Provide sufficient bandwidth and secure critical connections across an unlimited number of endpoints.
