Wi-Fi technology - a challenge for rural Internet networking

Original language description

Cheap, reliable and broadband access to the Internet network is an obvious requirement for a meaningful utilisation of Internet services. This is often also the main limitation factor for providing Internet services in many rural areas. ISDL and EDLS connections offered by PTT, Telecom and other communication providers are expensive with regard to the cost per transferred data volumes. That is why; this is not an appropriate mass utilisation technology for Internet connections in rural areas. A new Wi-Fi technology promises better services in this field. Wi-Fi is an acronym for Wireless Fidelity and denotes equipment, which communicates using protocol 802.11b in a licence-free frequency band of 2.4 GHz. Wi-Fi equipments rapidly spread and their cost quickly decreases. This technology enables us to create cheap broadband wireless networks in rural communities without demands for expensive PTT services or cable digging. The present connection capacity might typically be up to 5 Gb/sec. A
