CDPD service this summer. Therefore, Ocoee and all other government agencies are looking for a
new wireless carrier for their mobile computers before the end of the summer. The City has looked at
products and services offered by Verizon Wireless, Sprint, and AT&T Wireless. Based on coverage
experienced within the City's response area, staff was pleased with the service offered by Verizon
Wireless. This is also the same provider chosen by Orange County which is providing dispatch
services for the Ocoee Fire Department.
