Tetrad Networks Fixed LTE Solution Selected by
City of Euless
Enabling City of Euless in Texas, USA, to run municipal applications, providing
control and automation of city-wide assets for greater efficiency and cost-savings
March 28,2018 08:30 AM Eastern Daylight Time
LOD, Israel--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Telrad Networks, a global provider of innovative LTE telecom solutions,today
announced that the City of Euless,Texas, has selected Telrad's fixed LTE solution for their city-wide municipal
applications, allowing for remote control and automation.
Euless is a city located just northeast of Dallas,Texas. Currently with a population of more than 54,000, the city has
been experiencing a growth spurt as more people move to Euless from the Dallas-Fort Worth area, resulting in
operational scaling issues.
In order to be more productive and better manage municipal assets,the city decided to deploy a wireless network to
improve work force efficiency and flexibility.
Scott Joyce, CTO of City of Euless, stated, "Initially, each of the applications we were considering required the
installation of a separate, proprietary,wireless network. If we followed that path,we would have ended up with
several wireless networks,which would have had a huge cost and result in a logistics nightmare."
Euless selected Telrad's fixed LTE solution, including its flagship BreezeCOMPACT 1000 base station.The LTE
deployment has enabled the city to automate traffic lights, school zone flashers,the aggregated collection of water
meter data, and more.
The key considerations for selecting the Telrad solution were:
Scalability-easily allowing for the addition of equipment
Capable of running all applications on a single wireless network
Standards-based—so the city could add other LTE equipment at any point in the future
Software Defined Radio(SDR) platform,allowing for software-only upgrades

Telrad provides a software-defined solution.We don't have to send anyone up the towers to replace equipment
when there is an upgrade or change;we simply do a software upload—which is huge cost savings for the city,"
added Joyce.
Municipalities, such as the City of Euless require easy-to-use, future-proof, reliable,wireless broadband networking
products to help them maintain a productive city-wide network,"said Chris Daniels, President of Telrad's Wireless
Division. "We are proud to serve the City of Euless as well as many other municipalities. Our cost-effective solutions
enable infrastructure and assets to work in harmony, providing greater efficiencies and value-add services to the
community."
Following the success of the LTE solution, new applications have been introduced to further improve city productivity
and automation.As a result of these successes, Euless is now looking into expanding the network with the addition of
a number of base stations.
Telrad solutions, operating in the sub-6 GHz bands, offer reliable fixed wireless broadband connectivity, cost-
optimized configurations, lower total cost of ownership, and NLOS capability.With maximum coverage and capacity,
operators maintain more efficient, cost-effective networks that deliver an optimal user experience.

Mike Collins,Euless director of planning and economic development, said Total Wine should open its 25,000-
square-foot location this fall.
Edward Cooper,vice president of public affairs for Total Wine&More,told the Star-Telegram previously that
residents in nearby cities including Grapevine and Colleyville have also expressed a desire for another liquor
store closer to their homes.
Hall's Wine&Spirits is about a quarter mile from Glade Parks,and there are other liquor stores along Texas
26 in Colleyville.
In November,Euless voters approved allowing liquor stores by a wide margin.In preparation,the City Council
voted last summer to allow zoning for liquor stores in commercial areas such as Glade Parks,the Texas 121
gateway,Euless Founders Parc and the Riverwalk.
State law prohibits liquor stores from being within 300 feet of homes,hospitals,churches and private schools.
More restaurants and clothing stores are opening this spring in Glade Parks:Hopdoddy,an Austin-based craft
burger restaurant;Francesca's,a fashion boutique for women;and DXL, featuring clothing for tall men.
