The primary, driving application and utilization for wireless local government networks is public safety including police, fire and emergency services. LastMile’s secure and reliable platform facilitates this mission and helps municipalities reduce the cost of local government with enhanced asset tracking, greater mobile workforce productivity and new opportunities for partnering with private entities for creating a good, local business model for wireless broadband. LastMile facilitates the widespread deployment of municipal networks and their utilization by local businesses and citizens; as a result, it contributes to bridging the digital divide.
LastMile will be able to deliver video content for distance learning and campus security faster and more efficiently than any other wireless systems. It offers healthcare providers improved patient care with wireless solutions that are customized and personalized to their patients. These valuable services can also be complemented with revenue-generating opportunities by extending service delivery into the surrounding community.
LastMile technology lowers barriers to local entry and reduces the cost of broadband infrastructure deployment. By putting cached data on intelligent nodes at the edge of their network, service providers will optimise network traffic and extend their reach to areas where data traffic is slow or very expensive. Network equipment operators will increase competitiveness for value added services, which will reduce the need to continuously download common content, thereby making their network available for better real time IP services such as voice and streaming video. LastMile provides a new source of revenue for broadband networks which reduces capital expenditure for the service provided.
