- Their value offering will entail provision of data relating to potential rollout hotspot, monitoring of the rollout process and project management and community training
Sanjay's Input
- Sanjay briefly explained how our synergies can assist in - especially rural areas - getting people connected to the internet in particular businesses, entrepreneurs, students, and, getting out e-health information especially relating to COVID19
- How providing internet connectivity can provide digital goods and also reduce the digital divide through our collaboration
- Unafundo works with people in charge of wifi installation, communities(focusing on digital financial education content via the internet) and provision of entrepreneurial skills
Professor Noll joined
Explained the technical side and shared the success project in Tanzania. BIF can reach out >20 km from a mobile tower. However, the hot spot only covers Wi-Fi range - typically 50 meters - getting a bigger reach means adding new hot-spots (can be taken from the centre one).
- Hence, from a hot spot BIF typically can reach out to another Wi-Fi access point 3-5 km away. E.g. school is the central Wi-Fi, and from there the primary health facility and the community centre can be reached.
- Professor Noll said that the presentation clearly demonstrates how our organisations have commons objectives and then took all through the technical side of the BIF.
- Josef highlights that Unafundo will kick-start the project by following three main steps Wiki: http://BasicInternet.no
(1) Identifying 2-3 communities as a start (2) Identify needs within these communities and community empowerment agenda (3)Have a person within the community taking measurements for the information spots (preferably a youth with a smart phone)
- we need to do some preparation work to get these info spots out to you. For that preparation step – that is what we call the How To page. https://its-wiki.no/wiki/BasicInternet:How_To
Takeaway
- Wenzile and Khulekile will need three weeks before next meeting for project proposal to be formulated
- Khulekile and Wenzile will tap into the technological aspect of the Basic Internet's system operation
