Background for the establishment:
Most rural areas have very limited access to broadband Internet. ADSL connectivity is very scarce outside of metropolitan cities; and households, businesses and government offices in rural areas still have to rely on telephone and dial-up. Rural communities have to overcome major challenges when it comes to availing high speed broadband Internet. Remote villages a
re typically far from any Internet backbone or Point of Presence (PoP). Wired infrastructure, like fiber optics, usually does not exist or is unviable to provide ADSL backhaul for far-flung areas. In addition, the population density in rural areas is much lower compared to metropolitan areas, requiring higher capital and operational expenses in deploying an ADSL network infrastructure. The high installation cost normally involved in providing remote villages with high speed Internet means that these areas face an indefinite wait- perhaps for many years – before telecom operators and service providers can reach them. Challenges:
Provide rural villages in Nepal with access to information and economic opportunities through broadband Internet. Implement a community-shared broadband access model that can overcome distance and terrain barriers, and can deliver Internet speeds comparable to ADSL. The Solution:
Deploy wireless network using WIFI (5.8GHz and 2.4 GHz ISM band), an effective solution in delivering shared broadband access to communities. Thus, providing instant coverage, flexible and rapid infrastructure rollout to rural areas. Objectives:
• To provide ICT facilities to people of rural areas of Nepal such that following services can be offered:
To support E-Governance. Establishment of Tele-Medicine Center. Establishment of E-Learning Center. To support poverty elimination program with help of ICT related business. Our Coverage area:
