From Smart City public Wi-Fi and transit connectivity to SCADA infrastructure and legacy telecom modernization, Axis Point Advisors helps state and local government agencies build the technology foundation that modern public service demands.
Residents and businesses expect connectivity, digital services, and responsive government that relies on modern technology. Most state and local agencies are running on infrastructure that was not designed for today's demands: aging phone systems, copper-based communications, and networks built before cloud services, IoT, and mobile-first operations became the standard.
SCADA systems controlling water, wastewater, and traffic infrastructure are increasingly connected to IP networks, expanding the attack surface for the same threat actors targeting government agencies. Many of those systems have never had a cybersecurity assessment, and the operational technology teams responsible for them have different priorities than the IT teams responsible for security policy.
Avaya, Cisco, Mitel, and similar on-premise PBX platforms are approaching end of support or have already passed it. The vendor ecosystem for maintaining these systems is shrinking, parts are harder to source, and the cost per maintenance event is rising. Agencies that have not started planning a migration are paying more each year for less reliability.
We design and deploy outdoor public Wi-Fi networks that give residents and visitors connectivity in parks, transit corridors, downtown districts, and municipal facilities. The same infrastructure supports IoT sensors, public safety cameras, and digital signage on a shared managed platform. We handle site design, hardware sourcing, backhaul connectivity, and ongoing management so your IT team has visibility and control without having to build the expertise from scratch.
Transit agencies need connectivity that works across a fleet of vehicles, dozens of stations, and a central operations center simultaneously. We source and manage in-vehicle Wi-Fi and cellular connectivity for buses and rail, station Wi-Fi for passenger use, and WAN connectivity for operations centers and maintenance facilities. SD-WAN architecture ties it all together so operations staff have real-time visibility across the entire system from a single dashboard.
Water, wastewater, traffic, and utility systems depend on SCADA communications that most agencies have not modernized in years. We assess existing SCADA communications infrastructure, identify aging or vulnerable links, and source modern cellular, fiber, or private wireless alternatives that meet the reliability and security requirements of operational technology environments. Every solution is designed with redundancy and cybersecurity controls appropriate for critical infrastructure.
Polling locations, tabulation centers, and election administration offices all require reliable, secure connectivity during election cycles. We source temporary and permanent broadband for polling sites, configure secure VPN infrastructure for results transmission, and build in cellular backup so tabulation continues if a primary circuit fails. Everything is documented to satisfy your state's certification and audit requirements.
State and local government facilities still running copper POTS lines face a hard deadline as carriers complete the copper sunset. We audit every POTS-dependent device across your facilities, map a replacement path for each one, and manage the migration. For broadband, we source fiber internet and dedicated circuit options across every market where you operate, negotiating contracts from an informed position and managing the providers so your team does not have to.
Many state and local agencies are running on-premise phone systems, Avaya, Cisco, Mitel, that require specialized maintenance and are approaching end of support. We manage the full lifecycle: inventory and audit of the existing system, evaluation of UCaaS and CCaaS platforms purpose-built for government, migration planning that keeps every department operational through the transition, and ongoing management after go-live. For agencies with constituent-facing contact centers, we bring CCaaS platforms that include intelligent routing, call recording, supervisor monitoring, and the resilience that government service delivery requires.
A managed outdoor wireless network that gives residents and visitors reliable connectivity and extends the same infrastructure to IoT, public safety cameras, and digital signage.
In-vehicle Wi-Fi, station connectivity, and operations center WAN tied together on a single SD-WAN platform with real-time visibility across the full transit system.
Aging SCADA links replaced with resilient, secure connectivity that satisfies CISA critical infrastructure guidance and state regulatory requirements.
Polling site connectivity, secure results transmission, and backup circuits documented and certified to satisfy your state's election administration requirements.
The Telarus 2026-27 Technology Trends Report identifies state and local government as one of the highest-priority segments for Smart City infrastructure investment, SCADA modernization, and legacy telecom migration. We understand the procurement environment, the compliance obligations, and the operational realities of government technology. As a veteran-owned, SBA VetCert certified firm, we bring a mission-first perspective to every engagement and an independent advisory model that puts your outcomes ahead of any vendor relationship.
We will assess your current connectivity, telecom, and SCADA infrastructure and return a prioritized action plan at no cost.
Whether your priority is Smart City Wi-Fi, replacing legacy phone systems, securing SCADA infrastructure, or building reliable elections connectivity, we bring the expertise to move from planning to execution.
