WiRE: A New Rural Connectivity Paradigm
Many rural areas in developing regions remain largely disconnected from the rest of the world due to low purchasing power and the exorbitant cost of existing connectivity solutions. Wireless Rural Extensions (WiRE) is a low-power rural wireless network architecture that provides inexpensive, self-sustainable, and high-bandwidth connectivity. WiRE relies on a high-bandwidth directional wireless ...
متن کاملBeyond Pilots: Keeping Rural Wireless Networks Alive
Very few computer systems that have ever been deployed in rural areas in developing regions have been operational and sustainable in the long term — most such systems have not gone beyond the pilot phase. This paper describes our experiences in deploying and maintaining two rural WiFi-based long-distance networks over the last three years: (a) the Aravind network interconnecting rural eye hospi...
متن کامل(Village e-Science for Life -VeSeL) which aims at enabling rural communities in Sub-Saharan Africa (initially Kenya) to use advanced digital technology to improve their agricultural practices and literacy levels [5,6,7]. 2. TECHNOLOGY SUCCESS IN DEVELOPING REGIONS
This paper formulates a conceptual model for designing wireless sensor networks as a development enabling tool in extremely resource-limited environments. The model effectively integrates the conventional communications and networking approach with data processing techniques and usability interfaces. The paper also highlights several novel design mechanisms that have been developed around the p...
متن کاملWireless Networks and Rural Development: Opportunities for Latin America
Recent developments in wireless local area network (WLAN) technologies are raising new hopes for sustainable Internet diffusion in the rural areas of the developing world. These technologies allow drastic reductions in network deployment costs, particularly for last-mile connectivity in low-density areas. More important, the technologies make possible an infrastructure development model based o...
متن کاملA Low-Cost Efficient Wireless Architecture for Rural Network
Many rural regions around the world, especially in developing regions, do not have good connectivity solutions which are economically viable. As a result, many of these regions remain disconnected from both the rest of the world and from progress in general. In this proposal, I will describe the design of WiFi-based Rural Extensions (WiRE), a new wireless network architecture that can provide c...
