- Description
- With an alarmingly low teledensity in South Africa, less than 5% in some rural areas, and not much hope of further wired infrastructure, as the costs incurred are high compared to potential revenue, wireless connec-tivity could be a great asset and service in South Africa. This paper looks at how wireless communication technologies, 802.11, WiMAX and VSAT, can be used to allow broadband connectivity of schools to the Internet, with special reference to experimental work that is being done in Grahamstown schools.
