Local Communities Networks

Local authorities are essential stakeholders in the world of telecommunications to ensure everyone has access to broadband and mobile services, to guarantee secure and transparent local availability and improved living conditions.

GRANIOU can help implement your projects through dedicated, competitive and independent solutions.


Presentation

Working closely with local authorites through its extensive network of locations in the local economic fabric, GRANIOU provides you with its global expertise in the areas of fixed and mobile infrastructure.

Spotlight on broadband

At the heart of issues about local and regional development or e-democracy, local and regional authorities are more than ever the major stakeholders in the development of Information and Communication Technology.

Heralding initiative and dynamism, local authorities’ strategies in the areas of digital infrastructure, services and applications, help consolidate and capitalise on the local and regional industrial fabric, unite user communities and establish solidarity between communities.

When experiments go hand-in-hand with innovation and a political commitment to serving the community, broadband is the most suitable technology for meeting local communities’ needs.

Let GRANIOU be your partner and help you implement your ICT projects using its comprehensive support systems, from project inception through to technical operation.

Support Systems

challenges of ITCs for the economic stakeholders

Local development

  • Guarantee an optimum technological environment to boost the loyalty between the local authority’s private and public partners.
  • Promote the emergence of business areas, the installation of companies and the creation of jobs.
  • Demonstrate the attractiveness of your area.

 Stimulate competition

  • Foster an increase in the number of operators.
  • Bring down costs in line with the requirements of public orders, local companies, the local population and the internal municipal entities.

challenges of ITCs for the citizen

Simplified administrative procedures

  • Develop transparency in public governance (municipal web site, publication of minutes of council meetings and deliberations) and e-citizenship (e-forum, e-consultation about local projects and policies).
  • Use TICs to strengthen interactive participation and discussions between the local population and councillors.

Démarches administratives simplifiées

  • Rollout new tools for the local population to simplify access to municipal services (remote procedures, call centres, interactive information, online payment, etc.) 7 days a week, factoring in the needs of all sectors of the community (rural, reduced mobility, non-sedentary, etc.),
  • Boost exchanges between municipal services.

Broadband Internet for all

  • Reduce the “digital divide”: equip schools and centres of cultural exchange, open up areas of low population density, social integration (training, “cyber-centre”, “cyber-bus”, etc.), implement VDSL for densely populated areas.

Living in the digital city

  • Back the city’s policy and well-being through concrete applications: increased personal and material security, safer transport (video surveillance, prevention systems, SMS warnings for the population), practical information (variable message panels, dynamic route guidance, GIS), technical networks (rising bollards for reserved access, centralised technical management, monument lighting).
