Patient well being through enhanced care. Effective communications for transport environments. State-of-the-art learning environments for students. These are just a few examples of how wireless networking is helping campus environments improve content service delivery to users.

A campus is a fixed geographical location where a network is located. When referring to networks, a hospital, university or seaport can all be considered campus environments. Even a bus or a train may be considered campuses, i.e., “rolling campus.”

Industries such as education, healthcare and transportation are beginning to look at wireless broadband networks as a way to deliver information and services to their employees, patients, students and customers more quickly and at lower costs. For some, the use of wireless broadband networks helps maintain a cutting edge image, attracting investment while still enabling institutions to deliver valuable services to users.

A Unique Proposition

Wireless delivery of campus services can also be complemented with revenue generation by extending content service delivery into the surrounding community. Examples of new, chargeable services might include distance-learning classes on video, in-home health monitoring or promotion of local business or community activities through advertising. LastMile’s WDirect™ 1000 Information Nodes can store up to 4 GB of location-specific content that can be customized to a campus environment or extended to a community.
