Community Solutions
In a connected society, broadband provides the digital link between people and innovative solutions that create real value and community transformation.
The Knight Center can help you devise a digital strategy to support, enhance, and accelerate community-based services, and with it, your region’s economic standing. Some specific applications where broadband and cross-sector partnerships can drive civic opportunity include:
Education
Broadband connectivity and educational applications enrich and individualize learning by bringing dynamic resources into the classroom and enabling seamless communication and partnering among parents, teachers, and students.
Health Care
Leading health care providers are using connectivity to create shared services that reduce operating costs and provide patients with a broader spectrum of enhanced services, including remote diagnostics, wellness, administration and scheduling, and electronic patient records.
Economic & Workforce Development
Connected communities improve their global competitiveness by attracting and retaining innovative businesses while developing an intelligent workforce positioned to gain meaningful and beneficial employment at those enterprises.
Public Safety & Emergency Response
Rapidly connecting response teams with vital information allows a more coordinated, timely reaction to accidents and disasters while citizens gain access to the information and tools they need to make decisions and seek support.
Citizen Services
By digitizing municipal services, connected communities save valuable time and public money while improving the overall efficiency of municipalities through services like online licensing and smart grid technology.
