San Leandro Commercial Broadband Strategy <br />As local businesses and smaller carriers reported and, in some cases, AT &T confirmed, <br />leasable lines capable of supporting high speed, reliable Internet service are not <br />available in several commercial and industrial areas of the City. <br />found in Appendix C. <br />CPUC s service availability data indicates that at least some land line -based <br />broadband facilities in the commercial and industrial areas of San Leandro are <br />substandard. <br />Wireless broadband service is theoretically available throughout the City from cellular <br />carriers, from companies (such as TelePacific and Etheric) that offer service over a wide <br />area from scattered towers and from providers that offer customized, point -to -point <br />connections. <br />However, wireless broadband facilities operate within cost, coverage, reliability, speed <br />and quality of service (QoS) parameters that are not suitable for all commercial uses or <br />acceptable to all users. For example, a major software company will have bandwidth <br />and QoS requirements that exceed wireless standards. Medical organizations have <br />reliability needs that wireless service providers can rarely, if ever, meet. These types of <br />users will occasionally employ wireless links for back up, mobility or other auxiliary <br />purposes, but will not depend on it for primary service. <br />16 July 2012 TellusVenture Associates Page 10 <br />Figure 2.1 Map showing broadband availability data collected by CPUC.
