Last Mile Access

The Business Opportunity for Service Providers & Municipalities

Whatever you choose to call it – last mile, first mile, local loop – the meaning is the same: it's the part of the telecommunications network that links users with broadband access.

As total broadband access subscriber rates and usage rise by leaps and bounds each year, service providers and municipalities of all kinds and sizes are facing a challenge: addressing customer and resident demands, respectively, for quick service delivery and high-speed network access at a low cost. The price associated with customer acquisition costs and ongoing last mile maintenance puts additional pressure on service providers and municipalities to find new ways to cost-effectively deploy broadband access services to large numbers of customers.
