Communities worldwide are installing wireless broadband networks to improve the quality of life for their citizens. Wireless broadband can help foster economic development by attracting needed investment or enabling people to work from home. It can help improve education through distance learning or better student services, or even improve tourism with unique services aimed at highlighting the best a city or village has to offer.

Whatever the application, wireless broadband is a tool that helps improve the value of our own local networking activities. Everyday we network with others by exchanging ideas, advice, contacts, referrals and other information. To turn a casual process into a valuable resource, it is necessary to personalize and localize this information for how we live, work and play.

A Unique Proposition

LastMile Communications offers communities a unique opportunity to provide personalized, localized information to citizens when and how they want it. We offer a wireless content delivery solution called the LastMile WDirect™ 1000 Information Node. Nodes help create wireless broadband networks in fixed geographical locations such as communities, office parks or shopping centers. The solution is cost effective, easy to install and maintain and creates uncommon opportunities for revenue generation. For example: local business or entrepreneurs may choose to invest in nodes to offer community content that is supported by advertising or other revenue bearing services. Working in partnership with local governments, service providers and media companies, citizen and consumer services could be offered side-by-side helping to realize community-wide broadband with a complete business model.
