Agenda
- Presentation by Unafundo(Wenzile and Khulekile)
- Sanjay's Input
- Josef Input from the presentation
- Takeway
Presentation by Unafundo
- Wenzile and Khulekile presented their idea to the rest. Unafundo as a gateway for Basic Internet into the South African ecosystem (Communities, mobile providers and companies)
- Provide entrepreneurship through skills development on the African Continent
- Unafundo's alignment map zeros in on economic exclusion, lack of financial education and improvement of living standards which they will be addressing through this partnership
- 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
Josef's Input
- He 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 as described on the our Wiki 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. BasicInternet:How_To
Takeaways
- 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

- The products we use and our solutions- working with ISPs and mobile operators
- We focus on Mikrotik, as they have competitive products and a scalable solution https://mikrotik.com/products
- Our simplest solution is the InfoSpot, consisting just of an Mobile Network receive antenna and a Local Network Control Centre (LNCC), see BasicInternet:Solutions
- We have created a "step by step" way on how to establish InfoSpots in villages/schools/communities, see BasicInternet:How_To - Please help in criticizing, as we need to get better in a text which is understandable
