- Description
- As demand for new, reliable, flexible and relatively inexpensive internet access in marginalized rural areas in developing countries increases, there is a need to amalgamate broadband technologies such as WiMAX and WiFi so as to extend the coverage area. Consequently, this will en-able provision of high-speed mobile data and telecommunications ser-vices. This paper describes how WiMAX and WiFi can be merged to-gether, with VSAT technology offering backhaul internet connectivity to provide ever present broadband access. We also look at their respective network applications and how there are going to be used to help support ICT4D activities in these marginalized areas.
