Expert Zones

Cities, communities and regions deploy broadband-wireless networks for a broad range of local needs, each of which present project leaders with its own set of opportunities and challenges. The Expert Zones at W2i.com provide a platform for industry thought leaders and local authorities to share best practices, weigh in on their experiences through blogs and white papers, and collectively move toward shared success in the sustainable implementation of wireless infrastructure, applications and services. Each Zone is fed by an ongoing Roundtable series at the W2i Digital Cities Convention.
