Summary and Action Items
As a follow-up from the Non-discriminating access for Digital Inclusion (DigI) project, we introduced the connectivity of 10 schools as a proof-of-concept for a sustainable solution for school connectivity in rural areas. Vodacom is interested to join, and suggested a glide path to ease the adoption of mobile networks in schools. The pilot was discussed with UCSAF during a Seminar on School connectivity in Feb2020.
To main aspects to be addressed through the pilot:
- Sustainability using a mobile broadband package of e.g. 10 GB/month, and free access to information on site
- Wholesale model to mitigate costs, e.g. by having one contract serving 10 schools (and 10 SIM cards)
Further steps:
- Catherine to provide the practical info on the envisaged project - timeframe for installation is Juli-Sep2020
- Josef to create an impact document, based on a) the digital health impact by DigI, b) scalability, and c) strategic dimension, e.g. coupling to GSMA/ITU
- Most suitable implementation of a contract is an "add-on" to the existing school connectivity contract with UCSAF
Background Information
Through the DigI project we implemented information spots in villages, see DigI:Villages. Notably are the connectivity in Selela, connecting to the mobile tower being 22 km away, and to Izazi, located in the mobile shadow behind a mountain rim.
Through the Solution provided by BasicInternet, the mobile network is used to provide a local Wifi information spot. Through a local network control centre (LNCC), we avoid bandwidth demanding traffic. The goal of the Foundation is to provide Internet Lite for all through a Freemium model. The current implementation focusses on a health portal https://izazi.yeboo.com/health_info_dashboard.php , being the basis for scientific studies by Sokoine University (SUA) and University of Oslo (UiO).

Our goal is that the solution that work in Africa need to be known to the society developing/deploying future networks. See 6G for Digital Inclusion and Sustainable Development contribution by Josef Noll (UiO) presented as invited talk at the 6G Summit in 2020 http://www.6gsummit.com/invitedtalks/
