The project partners will complete a 2-year programme of work, coordinated by ERNACT, to realise the project's aim, objectives and outputs. This is divided into a number of realted activities:
1). Design a Transnational Mobile Community Model of what a typical digital community in a smaller city, region or rural area might look like.
2). Design and trial a range of transnational mobile services that the Mobile Community will use.
3). Pilot the Transnational mobile services to contribute, in a integrated way, to more sustainable development and to provide economic increased linkages between regions.

The partner regions are located in the peripheral or rural parts of the Northern Periphery. These regions have the added challenge of being located close to national land and sea borders.

The partner regions are located in the peripheral or rural parts of the Northern Periphery. These regions have the added challenge of being located close to national land and sea borders. As such, the main types of problems they face are remoteness, low population density, limited transport opportunities, lack of suitable services, and ageing population coupled with youth out-migration. CMC sets out to address these problems by exploiting the opportunities that ICTs, and more concretely mobile broadband services, have to offer for improving the competitiveness and connectedness of rural peripheral areas.
The aim of this project is to use broadband mobile communication services to promote the competitiveness of rural communities in the NPP area. Specific objectives are to: Develop the capability of rural area communities within the NP to incorporate emerging broadband mobile services into their community development strategies.

The aim of this project is to use broadband mobile communication services to promote the competitiveness of rural communities in the NPP area.
Specific objectives are to:
Develop the capability of rural area communities within the NP to incorporate emerging broadband mobile services into their community development strategies.
Use the capability to develop a number of broadband mobile services that support sustainable development of specific sectors in NP communities
Utilise the services to (1) improve the inherent sustainability of communities and to (2) provide economic connections to more central areas
