Currently, communities that do not have access to a Telco or a cable provider's
broadband network, want the benefits of global information—and are taking the
initiative to roll-out their own private broadband network in order to retain
citizens and boost their economies.
Municipalities—with existing metropolitan fiber networks for their
government business—are discovering that leveraging these assets to provide
next-generation voice, video and data services can bolster their bottom-line,
as well as provide advanced services to citizens.
As local authorities rethink how they deliver services and communicate with
citizens, Alcatel-Lucent supports them with communications solutions to bridge
the digital divide. High-speed, broadband access for all public sites and
administration facilities offers access to services by anyone at any time. New
information technology enables elected representatives to establish an
interactive, ongoing relationship with constituents.
With distance learning, educational institutions are reaching out to the
general population, providing access to educational resources within the
community and beyond.
The sharing of information and resources within the community improves
healthcare services, resulting in improved diagnoses and more timely
intervention. In the fields of public security and safety, local authorities
play a key role. Broadband communications is vital in ensuring public
protection.
By offering innovative solutions to citizens and businesses, such as
teleworking and entertainment resources, local authorities can provide
residents with clear opportunities and incentives toward improving the overall,
local economy.
