Low Cost Community Networking in Africa (Language: English)
The combination of wireless networking in unlicensed spectrum, open source software and sustainable energy offers exciting new perspectives for networking in underserviced communities. Low cost approaches bring internet as well as local connectivity and telephone services to people. Especially the concept of mesh networking proves to be powerful in shared community networks. This talk will present projects and capacity building programms from all over Africa, among others Tanzania and South Africa.
