Methods of Rural Connectivity
Emerging Technologies
2
Long Range Cordless Data Capable Phones
  • Data transmission up to 56K (PSTN)
  • 4 lines expandable to 16 lines with up to 64
    users
  • Communication range up to 100 Km in open space
  • link with Notebook, PDA, FAX machine and desktop,
    automatically for wireless data transmission

RBGAN Immersat Satellite Phone Modem
  • A portable satellite IP modem
  • High-speed data communications via satellite up
    to 144 kbps
  • Lightweight and easy to operate and can be setup
    in minutes
  • Operational anywhere in the world where IMMERSAT
    footprint is available
  • An always on system.  You pay only for data
    sent and received.
  • Ethernet, Universal Serial Bus (USB) and
    Bluetooth interfaces

VSAT
  • Very small aperture transmission
  • Requires Small 1 2 Meter Dish Antenna
  • Uses DAMA (Demand Assigned Multiple Access )
    System for Full mesh point to point or point to
    multipoint connectivity

.

GPRS / CDMACellular Phone based service
32 Watt Solar Panel
  • Covers 30 of Indias LandMass
  • Using GSM/CDMA cellular providers
  • Reliable, Always-On Internet Connection for a
    fixed package

Wifi What it stands for?
Wi-fi / Wireless-Fidelity, Otherwise known as
802.11 Wireless Network, is an open-standard,
open spectrum, open-source, open-hardware, mode
of wireless inter-connectivity for participating
devices.
.
7
What a wireless network is made up of-
Wireless Network cards
  • Radios which send and receive signals from other
    radios or access points, usually PCMCIA cards
    which fit into Laptop expansion slots, or PCI Bus
    in case of Desktop computers. (There are other,
    simpler options using USB). PDAs like PALM, and
    Pocket PC having a compact flash slot can also
    connect.

Base stations, Access points, or Gateways
  • The base station sends and receives radio signals
    to and from the Wi-Fi radio in your laptop or
    PC, enabling you to share your Internet
    connection with other users on the network.
    Access points and gateways have a wide range of
    features and performance capabilities, but they
    all provide this basic network connection
    service.

Typical Community Wifi Constituents
High gain Parabolic grid antennas to beam the
signal to over 30km from tower to
tower..Typically 5.7-5.8 GHz,  2' Diameter
Parabolic Grid Antenna,  26 dBi gain, 6 degree
beam width, N-Female connector
Sector antennas to beam the signal from the
towers to the community usersTypically 2.4-2.5
GHz, 90 degree sector antenna, 17 dBi gain
Customer Premises equipment (CPE) to access the
signal from the towers..Typically 23dBm
Radio15dBi Antenna 38dBm
Other components that need to be installed in
order to put the above systems together

THRIVE, Now a Wifi Campus
  • THRIVE has put Wifi to use within the campus
    using 802.11b wireless technology.
  • The System consists of a NetGear Wireless
    Router mounted atop the communication tower which
    beams a wifi signal accessible to anyone using a
    wifi-enabled computer within the boundaries of
    the campus without using any other amplifying
    antennae at about 300mts radius of the tower.
  • THRIVE is in the process of setting up a campus
    monitoring and surveillance system using wifi.

Capabilities and Uses
High data transmission rate and high reliability
in all weather conditions,and an always
available (95 Uptime) network makes wifi a
robust solution suitable for high bandwidth
applications.
- Online video-conferencing with greater clarity
- Telephony, using VoIP
- Revenue-model for budding start-up ISPs
- Broadband in the true sense
- Easier reach into far-flung rural areas
  • Ability to add more nodes as and when required
  • Less maintenance overheads, especially in Rural
    areas where technical manpower is scarce

Hyderabad Sagar Wifi Corridor
Extending wifi to the community
  • The 120 Km state highway between Hyderabad and
    Nagarjuna Sagar is an Ideal corridor for wifi
    implementaon
  • Potentially there are 200 Schools, 10 Engineering
    Colleges, several MBA and Degree Colleges, Gram
    Panchayats, Government offices, NGOs and other
    Institutions active in this region, who are
    looking for a reliable internet connectivity..
  • This provides for a sustainable revenue model for
    Implementation of the wifi corridor.

Successful Implementations of Wifi in India
Abroad
Digital Gangetic Plain Infothela
The researchers of Media Labs Asia based at IIT
Kanpur have taken a technology designed for
indoor use as a replacement for wired local area
networks and have stretched it to 75km and beyond
between Kanpur and Lucknow. They have made
available a mobile koisk called infothela
whichis wifi-enabled and will provide a range of
Govt. services from health to education.
Bhutan - Internet Telephony using VoIP
A pilot project to use wireless and VoIP
technologies to deliver communication services to
rural areas in Bhutan, a small Himalayan Kingdom,
was completed with encouraging results.

TORONTO Canada's national passenger train
service is offering wireless Internet access to
riders with their own Wi-Fi devices travelling
between Toronto and Montreal
The Highest Wireless Network (WiFi - 802.11b) in
the Northeast US
In the winter of 2003, a solar-powered Web camera
was deployed in northern New Hampshire, and in
the process, the highest wireless network (WiFi -
802.11b) in the northeast United States came into
operation across 5 miles of backcountry.
