Wireless communication in rural areas

The project's goal was to see "what works" and what lessons can be learned from wireless deployments in rural areas around the world. The emergence of WiFi technology as a low-cost broadband technology is a catalyst to connect rural areas users in a fast and cost-effective manner. Furthermore, the project�s goal was to use Voice over WiFi technology to provide telephony to remote areas. The thesis was that voice communications could be used to subsidize data services, which are important for educations and job creation. A significant portion of the project was focused on the El Limón community in the Dominican Republic.
