New Windsor, NY - May 17, 2018 - Wireless 20/20, LLC (www.wireless2020.com), a leading broadband wireless research and consulting firm, announced today that it has initiated a Smart Cities Strategy Consulting Practice.

His in-depth knowledge of Smart Cities applications and technology, and what it takes for cities to be able to execute a Smart Cities strategy around the world, is a great choice to lead this new area of focus for our company," said Randall Schwartz, Co-Founder and Principal Consultant of Wireless 20/20.

The new WiROI™ Tool will allow communities to evaluate different wireless technologies, including 4G LTE, 5G, Wi-Fi, IoT, and other private operational networks to understand costs, develop monetization strategies, and create investment strategies to build their cities of the future.
"Municipalities around the world are turning to technology to build next-generation networks that support economic and civic growth, and create new applications and services of the future," said Al Jenkins. "As Smart Cities applications are deployed, the practical experience gained so far, is pointing the way for best practices in both technology implementation and business models.
