The major cellular carriers are accelerating the pace of their full scale deployments of 4G network infrastructures in an expanding effort to keep pace with the burgeoning Smartphone marketplace. Given the new and ever improving applications being written for Smartphones like the iPhone and the Droid, it is apparent that the competitive race to gain allegiance for your mobile bandwidth access won’t slow anytime soon. In fact, the FCC’s intent to reallocate an additional 500 MHz in licensed spectrum is a telling illustration of the need to quickly address our increasing reliance on mobile content and connectivity.
The enhanced in-building cellular systems we deploy today actually help offload some of this traffic to provide a portion of that needed bandwidth. The cellular carriers have embraced our approach and are now willing to consider the potential to fully subsidize your enhanced in-building cellular technology! Please contact us at your earliest convenience to discuss this service and how we can provide in-building cellular coverage to your organization at no cost!!
Enjoy the Ride!
Sincerely,
Thomas K. Crotty

This is just the latest example of high-quality video content migrating to mobile. The trend is forcing wireless carriers to turn to video optimization and compression technologies to manage data traffic from YouTube, Hulu and other video providers--an issue that is only going to get more urgent in the coming months and years.
