Why this work matters

The potential of agile, cost effective cellular infrastructure to enhance mobile broadband coverage afore business and communities is widely recognized. Beyond consumer services, modern networks offer a solution for managing the economic infrastructure of urban, suburban, rural, and private network environments. Yet, challenges persist, particularly in the form of local regulatory processes and approvals, causing expensive delays and hindering the connectivity aspirations of local people, businesses and authorities.

Scope

In the first phase of our work to support the digital transformation of local communities and economies we are developing a primer on the benefits of modern network deployments and the steps municipalities can adopt to enable timely service delivery and bring the benefits that cellular connectivity and broadband services can provide to their communities.
