Topics being discussed
Network infrastructure at Murambinda
Joseph started the activities some years ago as part of Buhera ICT, and is now chairman of the Community Networks in Zimbabwe. He is also steering board member of the Internet Society.
In Murambinda, they connected a total of 216 schools through radio links. The backhaul is terminated in the fibre of Telone, and from there radio links are used to reach the schools, health spots and village centres (NEST?). Telone has fibre out to the districts, and works with Buhera ICT. https://www.herald.co.zw/telone-partners-buhera-ict-to-set-up-network-system/amp/
Activities in the last years were to get the regulatory conditions in place, a.o. establishing a lite license for the operation of community networks.
