Abstract

Introduction

Local governments are experimenting with municipal wireless networks to provide constituents with wireless internet access in outdoor areas of a community.

Scope

Analysis of applications commonly deployed in conjunction with municipal wireless networks

End-user opinion from 100 local governments in North America and Europe

Advice for governments and vendors evaluating municipal wireless applications

Highlights

Because communities are developing municipal wireless networks to improve the effectiveness of government operations, it is critical that they select the proper applications to run on those networks.

Without valuable applications, municipalities will not drive the end-user traffic that is necessary to ensure a successful deployment.

This brief analyzes three common types of applications local governments and service providers are deploying with municipal wireless networks: public works applications, public safety applications and field worker applications.
