Voice telephony has been the main option for providing access to telecommunications in rural areas. Today, using the AirEZ-4000, a wide variety of new applications such as e-mail, e-commerce, tele-education, tele-health, and tele-medicine, among others, has made access to interactive multimedia services as important as voice connectivity alone.
Since each rural district or community requires a different mix of voice, text, image, video and audio the AirEZ-4000 communication technology is the best fit for these needs. Telecommunication network operators must be able to support the widest possible range of services and/or applications and different bandwidth levels at a reasonable cost.
The following are basic requirements for communications systems deployed in rural areas of developing countries:
- Implementation and operation is possible at a low cost in areas where population density is low
- The system can be easily installed, even in remote and inaccessible locations
- System operation and maintenance may be carried out even where qualified technical personnel are scarce
- Implementation is possible even when basic infrastructure such as main electricity, running water and paved road networks are absent.
The Max-Fi solution, using the AirEZ-4000 technology, is available and is known as the best fit that can meet the above requirements at a reasonable cost to rural network operators.
