What is DakNet ? An ad hoc network Uses wireless technology Provides digital connectivity Takes advantage of existing transportation and communication infrastructure

DakNet Architecture Main components: ▫Hub ▫Kiosk ▫Mobile Access Point

ICT Information and Communication Technology Does not rely on real time connectivity Affordable and interactive Asynchronous mode of communication Example: ▫Voice mail ▫ ▫Electronic bulletin board

Challenges to ICT Ratio of communication infrastructure costs to income is many times larger in developing countries High cost and limited access are the main obstacles to telephone services High dependence on technicians Higher price and lower quality due to monopoly Limited human capacity, expensive hardware etc

Competitors: ICT Space Technology 4 types of technological alternatives :

How does it works?

DakNet implemented bus

DakNet implemented Bike Motormen are e- postmen hired locally that ride their motorbikes between the central hub and surrounding schools

DAKNET ADVANTAGES:  DAKNET allows for low – cost, low power radio devices to be used.  The use of short –distance radio- links also ensures high data rated.  Does not have the interference problem.  security problem.  And maintenance cost associated with long distance wireless links. 17

Role in developing countries Do not have to invest heavily in R&D themselves ICT becoming less dependent on expensive physical infrastructure Offer same rates for local as well as international call Countries implementing this: ▫India ▫Cambodia ▫Costa Rica ▫Rwanda
