LONDON and RALEIGH, N.C. -- LastMile Communications (www.lastmilecoms.com), a provider of edge-of-network wireless content delivery solutions, today announced that it has closed a third round of equity funding, raising £4,128,684 and well over its' target of £3 million.

Following the successful closure of this round of funding, LastMile has now raised a total of £10.5 million in equity finance since financing began. Funding has been secured from a total of 195 private investors, including international defence and security technology company QinetiQ and a number of hedge funds. A further £6.4 million loan was also secured from a major technology partner.

The received funding will be used to market LastMile's 'content delivery solutions', which can provide a sustainable business model for municipal wireless networks. By combining edge of network caching with processing, and uniquely delivering content to wireless devices and digital displays, LastMile not only optimises bandwidth utilisation but also provides new revenue streams for municipal deployments.

Antony Abell, Chairman of LastMile Communications and head of LastMile financing, commented: "LastMile is making exciting progress in the commercial deployments of municipal wireless platforms, demonstrated by the recent Exeter pilot. As we continue to take advantage of opportunities in key markets like North America, this funding will help the company to grow further still. LastMile combines a strong management team with a completely unique value proposition, helping to close the financial case for municipal wireless networks."

I think its a good time to purchase a property because as well all know that economic recession period is going on and the property rates are down so i would suggest its a better time to purchase a property.That's right, as we all know that New York is a Mind-blowing city as well as it is costliest however the people are investing his/her money in real estate. Average people can afford to buy a home there and raise a family while our businesses recruit from a well-educated workforce. It's good to know that New York markets including Buffalo/Niagara Falls and Syracuse, among the country's 10 fastest-growing real estate markets. Presently the recession period is going on and the market price is affordable so its brilliant time to invest money in real estate.
