Stratum Broadband will assist RPM, an information technology consulting group, with a wireless feasibility study for the City of Springfield, Massachusetts.

The goal of the three-month study is to determine how and to what extent a wireless Internet access system could enhance economic development and the quality of life in Springfield, said officials gathered at City Hall. The study will include interviews of individuals and representatives of organizations in Springfield to evaluate the interest in, and the feasibility of, a city-wide wireless system.

The study was announced on Monday, August 7, and is funded by the nonprofit Springfield Media and Telecommunications Group under a partnership with the city. City officials who gathered to promote the study included Mayor Charles V. Ryan, Chief Information Officer Thomas B. Collins and Chief Development Officer David B. Panagore.
