Daknet Technology Architecture
The hub server software and the kiosk client software are pre-installed and
pre-configured.
The Mobile Access Points also have the network software pre-installed and
configured.
The software consists of system, transport, and application level codes
written to optimize the use of the physical network and serve as a platform
to interface with numerous end-user applications while retaining a small
data overhead and processing power requirements.
ICT
Information Communication Technologies
The
UN’s target is also to connect the
remote areas with the help of their R&D
Developing countries have their advantages
to adopt this type of optimal and cheap
equipment tech to get their remote areas
connected
Challenges in adopting ICT
Rural
and remote areas have been slow to
change for several reasons-
High cost and limited access are the main
obstacles to telephone services
The ratio of communication
infrastructure to income in many times
larger
First Mile Solutions
Daknet supports easy user-interface and low cost hardware that allows
individuals, with no professional skills of using communication devices,
operate the software and get connected.
Daknet Economics
• Daknet allows for low cost and low power radio devices to be used.
• The use of short distance radio links also ensures high data rated.
Internet/Internet messaging
Information distribution/Broadcasting
Information collection
Villagers along the bus route have enthusiastically received the DakNet-Bhoomi
system. They are grateful to avoid making the long, expensive trip into the main city to
obtain land records.
Conclusion
We have discussed all the benefits of the DakNet and it is evidentially going to
help the developing nations like India eradicate the-digital-divide by bringing
technology to everyone . The current focus is on further reduction of cost of
required equipment.
Thank you for your consideration
