Wireless Reach Projects

Improving Education With 3G

Education

Mobile learning extends education beyond the physical confines of the classroom and school library, allowing students to access content from home, communicate with teachers, and, perhaps most importantly, communicate with each other via online collaboration tools. Affordable smartphones with 3G broadband connectivity help ensure all students have access to educational resources 24/7.

Following are examples of Wireless Reach projects that demonstrate how wireless access is transforming education.

Opening New Entrepreneurial Opportunities With 3G

Entrepreneurship

With 3G Internet access, people worldwide from fishermen to Internet cafe owners can benefit from specialized wireless applications that allow them to access real-time data, helping them maintain a more efficient and profitable business. Store owners can become the “payphone” of their small village, selling telephony services to their friends and neighbors; farmers can access critical weather information and market prices; and a software developer can create the next ground-breaking application.

Following are examples of Wireless Reach projects that empower entrepreneurs around the world.

Improving Universal Health With 3G

Health

3G solutions have proven to be effective in overcoming obstacles such as delivering quality health care to remote areas. Technology brings skilled medical experts instantly to patients in need using wireless connectivity and video conferencing. Small clinics can connect to main hospitals ensuring health care workers have the latest information and access to specialists. With wireless Internet connectivity, more people can enjoy better health as a result of virtual pre- and post-operative care and checkups.

Advanced wireless broadband technologies provide new ways to diagnose, monitor and manage health anytime and anywhere.

Following are examples of Wireless Reach projects that use 3G to extend the reach of quality health care.

Improving Public Safety With 3G

Health

When a disaster strikes, telecommunications services can be eliminated, leaving people with no connectivity to the outside world. With wireless technology and devices, a small base station can be set up quickly providing instant communication to communities and relief agencies. In addition, technology can bring real-time access to critical weather information, especially important to those whose incomes depend on the fishing and agriculture industries. Working with partners, Wireless Reach is helping to improve access to instant communication and information, so communities can be better prepared and improve their livelihoods.

Following are examples of Wireless Reach projects that use 3G to enhance public safety.
