They have setup broadband network in Dharamsala and in places where
there are power problems using WiFi routers, solar cells and Ubuntu.
Airjaldi’s is providing broadband services in rural India where terrain
is difficult, the population is sparse, and financial resources are
scarce. Success depends on keeping overheads to an absolute minimum –
and there is no spare budget for costly, proprietary software.
Instead, the company powers its Network Operations Centre (NOC) with
free, open-source software Ubuntu Server. To further reduce operating
costs, Airjaldi uses Ubuntu on its workstations, where its simplicity
and ease of use are great benefits for employees.

If you are using Ubuntu in interesting ways or have significantly large
deployments, do let us know!
