Affordable smartphones with 3G broadband connectivity help ensure all students have access to educational resources 24/7.

Improving Universal Health With 3G
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.

Improving Public Safety With 3G
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.
