Business
Competitive Companies, Inc. (the "Company") was originally incorporated in the state of Nevada in October 2001 and acts as a holding company for its operating subsidiaries, Wytec International, Inc. ("Wytec"), Wylink, Inc., Wireless Wisconsin LLC, Capaciti Networks, Inc., Innovation Capital Management, Inc., and Innovation Capital Management LLC (collectively, the "Subsidiaries"). Capaciti Networks, Inc. is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Wytec. The Company and its Subsidiaries (also collectively referred to as "CCI") are involved in providing next generation fixed and mobile wireless broadband Internet services nationally and internationally to wholesale, retail and enterprise customers.
Due to developments in our intellectual property and the continued development of our municipal and governmental relationships along with the addition of key personnel and consultants, management intended to enter into 30 markets by year-end 2015. This strategy was redesigned to reduce market entry costs and enhance marketing capabilities along with the development of a commissioned based agent sales channel and telemarketing. Included in our market entry schedule are new products and services for small and medium businesses and our continued optimization strategies for assisting municipalities in leveraging current assets such as utility poles for maximum utilization related to the provisioning of telecommunications and machine to machine ("M2M") services.
Our current business strategy incorporates the use of millimeter wave technology utilizing wireless frequencies from 5GHz to 80GHz spectrum. Wytec has constructed the use of these spectrums in three (3) markets including San Antonio, Texas, Columbus, Ohio and Denver, Colorado and has commercialized a broadband Internet service directed to the small medium business (known as "SMB") in two of three markets. The initial focus of service is directed to highly concentrated areas such as the Central Business District ("CBD") of each market and to expand the service to high density business zones outside of the CBD. The Company plans to eventually utilize its patent pending LPN-16 Micro Cell technology to provide enhanced coverage to these zones.
We believe the use of millimeter wave spectrum is a key component to the development of a 5G network and further support to what has now become popularized as the "Smart City." Smart Cities are designed to advance multiple mobile communications services, including but not limited to, public safety, first responder, machine to machine, and carrier offload services.
Currently our network design is capable of delivering bandwidth services of up to 1.5 gigabits per second to a wide range of customers including small, midsize and large corporate operations located in Tier One, Tier Two, and Tier Three (the term "Tier" defines the population size of the link location) cities throughout the United States. Our millimeter wave technology serves as the backbone for our platform networks capable of supporting a host of high capacity data throughput objectives.
On December 18, 2015, Wytec performed an outside speed test on the first LPN-16 working prototype and produced record performance speeds in excess of 500 Mbps to a smart phone and 600 Mbps to a laptop computer. Earlier speed tests and network demonstrations enabled us, through Wytec, to consummate our first services agreement with the City of Columbus on July 7, 2014. Wytec has now substantially completed its footprint coverage of the CBD of Columbus, Ohio in preparation for the Company's new marketing and sales strategy.
Overview of Current Operations
We continue to shift our focus away from our past revenue sources, such as, web hosting, dial-up, wireless, DSL, and wired internet services, and move toward the design, development, and implementation of 4G/5G networks with an accelerated concentration towards the development of our "Smart City" concept. We believe recent national and international relationships have facilitated the progression of our "Smart City" development in conjunction with the growing relationships with city and state governments.
