Dear Colleagues, As an update to previous discussions on this List and some postings by myself and others, I want to take the opportunity to provide an update about the ICT project Inveneo has been working on in Uganda. We have been working over the past few month with ActionAid's ICT Reflect project to prepare for the implementation of our low powered computing and communications stations in Western Uganda (in the foothills of the Rwenzori mountains). Many comments and postings on this List helped us to define some of the requirements of the system.
I'm very happy to report that the system is up and running since this past Wednesday (June 8th). We have installed 5 units, 4 of which are in villages with no access to power. The system provides Internet access and phone capabilities to the users. Phone calls among the connected villages are free of charge, with the ability to place and receive calls to the Ugandan phone network. For more information please have a look at the following links: For more detailed information and pictures of the Uganda deployment: http://www.inveneo.org/?q=uganda For more information about the solution we have built and implemented, here is a link to our PDF datasheet: http://www.inveneo.org/download/inveneoDatasheet.pdf And of course our website: http://www.inveneo.org/ Thank you!
