In 2018, The City of Chula Vista partnered with Magellan Advisors to create a city-wide telecommunications master plan. The City will reference to this master plan when planning telecommunications and network buildout through the city. This includes project prioritization and development of critical policy for the City around data concerns.

Significant cost savings, system availability, and increased customer service can be achieved using connective technologies.

A well-designed telecommunications infrastructure can reduce power/water consumption, provide early warning for systems which are experiencing technical issues, enhance monitoring capabilities, remote sensing, providing public access to meaningful data (budget, public works projects, etc.) and deploy new and possibly unknown technologies in the future to further the City’s Smart City endeavors.

Telecommunications Master Plan was adopted by the City Council on October 6, 2020. Please click here to view a PDF copy of the Telecommunications Master Plan.
