Number and datas:

• Uses a Mesh Potato (first prototypes of the Mesh Potato were built in June of 2009)

• The router we will be using is going to be very efficient since it'll provide us with the coverage and the network to work in rural areas that need a steady connection and we'll be able to test and see what improvements to the $60 antenna that we are purchasing.the 802.1

• This case study looked into how a wireless network could be implemented in the himalayan region with approximately about 100km2,ranging from the Dehradun valley to the height so Tehri Garhwal Mountains (height of about 2,000 meter)

 

What it is:         

As a group, we've chosen an antenna to use but we have not chosen a WiFi that we will implement in this area so these antennas can be effective. From scanning all these documents, we can conclude that the 802.11 WiFi is the best to use in rural areas. But more specifically, the 802.11 ax is the best to use especially if we are implementing it in a country with high density. 802.11ax is designed specifically for high-density public environments, like large colleges, and other educational institutions. But it also will be beneficial in Internet of Things (IoT) deployments, in heavy-usage schools, in apartment buildings and in offices that use bandwidth-hogging applications like video-conferencing. 802.11ax is also designed for cellular data offloading. In this scenario, the cellular network offloads wireless traffic to a complimentary Wi-Fi network in cases where local cell reception is poor. So, by using the 802.11ax we are getting much more than we were looking for which is a great thing because now we'll be able to implement internet in more than just schools.
 

Fun facts

 

Village Telco:

• Uses VoIP (Voice over IP) mesh networks

• Uses a Mesh Potato (first prototypes of the Mesh Potato were built in June of 2009)

• A Mesh potato is a device for providing low-cost telephony and Internet in areas where alternative access either doesn’t exist or is too expensive

• Cost of making a call and sending an SMS in most parts of Africa is extremely high compared to income

One way to implement a powerful antenna and get to transmit at a decent speed, we could use some type of high-speed satellites to bring coverage and the Internet to the most remote places and in which no ADSL or any type of signal would arrive, In addition to the unlimited coverage, the strong point of the satellite as a rural connection is that it allows speeds of up to 30Mb. Its consumption is limited to a specific number of data and, when exceeding the limit, the speed is reduced to what the company in question establishes for each of its rates, although it has a higher latency than other connections such as fiber optic, the advance of this technology makes it one of the most efficient in terms of connection without wiring. I read this from a document in which he explains the use of the satellite in rural areas where a normal antenna could not lock in optimal conditions.

 

• Soft phones running on PDAs, WiFi-enabled VoIP handsets, and cell phones with WiFi capabilities already exist

• as VoIP over WLAN becomes widespread, it is possible that a large proportion of cell phone or WiFi handset owners will migrate to using VoIP over WLAN, due to the prospect of cheaper or even free calls

• easy to use, scalable, standards-based, and DIY (Do it Yourself) telephone company toolkit

• Wireless nodes form a wireless mesh network (WMN) with nearby wireless access points to provide wireless links

• Although the primary purpose of the infrastructure is to make cheap voice calls, users can also exploit the IP-based architecture to access the Internet

 

The problem: This case study looked into what was done in order to create a wireless network that could connect remote villages in Nepal to the internet. The effort began locally, as independent efforts by some residents, but soon gathered attentions from others. Soon, there was an initiative to bring internet to Nepal. The network that they ended up making consisted of a group of relays that would connect different areas of Nepal to others. These relays would be connected to smaller LANs and WANs that exist in cities and hospitals. Electrical power was generated using a mix of wind power, solar power, and human power for the relays, as they were remote, while villages would use their own power sources for their computers and WAPs. There also were servers for managing the network, which could be accessed via SSH connection remotely. Some volunteers also taught natives how to use computers

 

Research Brief: Implementation of a Wireless Network in Nepal: A Case Study

Here, labor costs weren’t too much of an issue, as the team was mostly volunteers, and all equipment they used was donated to them.

 

A Company who has done a similar concept as us in the past.

 

• Is a mesh network of mesh potatoes (MPs), where adjacent MPs automatically form a peer-to-peer network and relay telephone calls without landlines or cell phone towers

• All mesh nodes communicate on a single WiFi channel

• The power, Ethernet, and FXS ports are designed with developing world conditions in mind. As a result, it offers some resistance to electrostatic discharge, poor input power quality, and accidental abuse
