The Lifestyle Inspirations (LSI) Community Portal is an intranet experience that will come pre-populated with user ready functionality. However, the real power of The LSI Community Portal is revealed when the community populates the portal and gives it full-functionality. This unique interactivity allows individuals within the community to work in conjunction with city leaders, businesses, school public safety and other special interest groups to infuse The LSI Community Portal with targeted content and compelling context. These attributes will provide the framework for the transition from online experience to the real world.

What makes The LSI Community Portal truly unique is that is it will be the only wireless "community intranet" portal of its kind with exclusive functionality and software development savvy to build communities from within cities that can then extend and integrate into the outside world. All of this from the power and technological innovations that TWC brings to the online community development experience.

In its effort to promote the unification of communities upon the deployment of a Municipal Wireless Network (MWN), The Lifestyle Inspirations (LSI) Community Portal information architecture emphasizes the importance of integrating community and quality of life. The LSI Community Portal is framed around five channels of information and query to accomplish this objective: LSI Answers, LSI Business, LSI Public Safety, LSI Directories and LSI Wellness.

• Lifestyle Answers - This channel provides information specific to the community itself and its initial design by the sponsoring city. For example, how to recycle in your neighborhood or what are the hours of the campus bookstore? Live streaming of city council meetings and other community events could also be integrated though this channel.
• LSI Business - This channel is a directory of businesses that serve the community The LSI Community Portal network. For example, which vendors are company-approved for a printing job or which restaurants deliver on campus? This channel also allows local businesses to sell their products online shopping and allow its residents to further experience the benefits of their local community.
• LSI Public Safety - This channel will feature the city's public safety initiatives and provide its residents a more "real time" awareness level for incidences and remedy's. For example, if it is an amber alert, fire, or domestic violence act, The LSI Community Portal will trigger notifications and news flash updates to its users. Public Safety is a vital component for a city's ability to grow from within. A mechanism to measure and control security is invaluable for it's residents.
• LSI Directories - This channel gives subscribers access to a broad range of information and content, including jobs, kids, movies, real estate, horoscopes, etc. As with all channels in The LSI Community Portal, Lifestyle Directories allows users to post content and interact through a social networking architecture to evolve and define The LSI Community Portal content and "online culture." While The LSI Community Portal will have its own culture (that is populated by city residents), it will also allow cultures "to connect" and blend with other cultural groups. Additionally, this will be a forum where special interest group are formed; seeking LSI Coaches where and when applicable.
• LSI Wellness - More than ever, people want their lifestyles to be inspired. For a community to grow from within, its residents must feel revitalized and motivated. While economic development and public safety initiatives serve to "build a community" - its people must be fully optimized across several different lifestyle areas to contribute at the highest level. Therefore, unlike any other portal, this channel moves the interactivity of The LSI Community Portal from the web to day-to-day life. Utilizing a network of LSI certified wellness coaches; LSI Coaches connects subscribers to professional coaches that specialize in a broad spectrum of disciplines. The Lifestyle Coaches would be specific to the Wireless community they serve, but would invariably fall into one of the eight categories within the LSI Wellness Program: 1) LSI Active, 2) LSI Career, 3) LSI Cultural, 4) LSI Evolutional, 5) LSI Family, 6) LSI Health, 7) LSI Leisure, 8) LSI Relationships.
