Smarter, greener, safer. Municipal-scale applications running over a shared, community-wide, broadband data infrastructure deliver ubiquitous data access to critical information, save operating costs, preserve precious resources, and enhance public safety. Digital Communities around the world deliver improved Quality of Life (QoL) for residents, businesses, teachers, students, public safety officials, community administrators, employees, and utility providers.

The Digital Community is all about high speed data communication where you need it, when you need it. Economic, secure delivery of broadband data access across entire communities is one of the great technical challenges of the 21st century.

Fortunately, IP networking technology has now extended its utility beyond the enterprise, enabling integrated fixed and mobile broadband delivery to entire cities and beyond. Community Networks are now a reality, and can be built economically from off-the-shelf, best-of-breed, standards-based components. Specialist tools allow these very large networks to be shared, managed and supported. Technology Partners has integrated the very best, world-class Community Network components and delivers the specialist expertise to design, implement and support your municipal applications.

The business case for delivering Community Network solutions is proven and inescapable. Almost every application can justify the development of a city-wide network infrastructure on its own. Together, the logic is often overwhelming.

	Residential and business broadband Internet access is no longer a luxury. It has become indispensible for residents and schools, and a major business development driver for communities
	Mobile Internet is now expected to support high speed email and multi-media content services. Its availability is a requirement of today’s mobile business community
	Municipalities reduce costs and improve customer service from applications such as traffic management, building code enforcement, real time work order access and parking meter enforcement
	High-speed, mobile data communication has become essential for public safety agencies world-wide in the ongoing battle against crime and terrorism. Instant access to public safety databases, along with real time transmission of video surveillance data are all most efficiently performed through a broadband community IP network
	Utility meter reading is an example of an application with an almost guaranteed business case when performed in near real-time over a city-wide network. Reduction in manual reading costs, coupled with hour-by-hour usage planning measurably improves conservation and reduces cost.
