Migoli
Migoli is a fast growing village in the Iringa district, and one of the DigI:Villages. Three hot-spots are available:
- The Julius Nyerere High School at https://plus.codes/6G4QRQFC+WM, being the base of the installation, and providing connections to:
- The community building - (to be completed in August 2019), located at: https://plus.codes/6G4QRQQ7+QV
- The Dispensary - (to be completed in August 2019)
In Migoli both Halotel and Vodacom provide 3G networks, with towers being provided right within the village. About 2.5 km east of the village is the Nyerere High School, with 1271 children and 34 teachers (status: Apr2019). Thus, bringing an information spot to the school will allow for education in digital matters.
The teachers were very optimistic about the capabilities of digital education, and even pointed out Internet addresses with content specially designed for teaching the children.

Current installation
Receiving the mobile network is not a problem, the regular 3G network is excellent. Though, we decided to install our directive LTE antenna, allowing for an even better signal to noise ratio, and thus higher capacity. An iron pole of 9 m was set-up on the outside of the PC room, allowing the Internet to be directly connected to the PCs in the room. Measures of field strongest indicate that we cover about half of the public space. With one more directive antenna, we will be able to cover the whole space.
On top of the mast are the two sector antennas, located ca 9 m above ground. At this height they look over the trees, as well as over the top of the house. The LTE antenna is located at 6 m.
Extensions August 2019
With two sector antennas, one covering the school area, and the second one pointing to Migoli village, we have the opportunity to establish Wifi information spots almost everywhere.
The Dining hall is about 150 m away, to be covered with an extension hot-spot.
