Colony lets enterprise deploy or re-deploy carrier-grade centrally managed equipment at a fraction of what it costs to maintain what is currently running. Because the entire network can be controlled from a web browser, IT travel and configuration time is dramatically reduced.

Existing building electrical personnel are provided complete documentation for installation of permanent coverage areas, while administrative or maintenance personnel can setup and relocate simple and portable deployments with integrated WiMax Internet services.
- Real time management of all portfolio locations deployed from a single account portal, with detailed reporting on installation diagrams, costs and revenues, network performance, usage by employees and tenants as well as usage by applications.
