To bring in last mile connectivity for under-served rural and semi-rural areas in India, line-of-sight wireless connectivity is deployed by using low-cost Wireless equipment and unlicensed frequency spectrum of 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz range to create community-operated wireless networks. To further empower the local community, the community members need to be trained in setting up wireless networks themselves.
This course is intended for community members, especially in rural areas of India, who can set up last-mile Internet connectivity for their communities. These members may not have a formal degree in technical areas such as networking or engineering. For the purpose of this course, it is assumed that there are three levels at which learners will setup a wireless network. The three levels are:
Level 1 – To bring connectivity from the ISP to a single location |
Level 2 – To extend connectivity from the single location to another location |
Level 3 – To extend connectivity from the single location to multiple locations |
