daknet full report presentation
(A Road to Universal Broadband Connectivity)
Presented By: Harika.K
Introduction:
Daknet, an ad hoc network uses wireless technology to provide digital connectivity. Daknet takes advantages of the existing transportation and communication infrastructure to provide digital connectivity.
DakNet is an internet service based on the technology from First Mile Solutions (FMS), which was spun-off from an idea, known as “DonkeyNet”.
FMS is based in Cambridge, MA and offers its Wi-Fi based technology to the rural population in developing countries such as India and Cambodia
Real time communications need large capital investment and hence high level of user adoption to receiver costs
Technologies like store- and forward or asynchronous modes of communication can be significantly lower in cost and do not necessarily sacrifice the functionality required to deliver valuable user services.
To mobilize end-user market creation, a separate organization, known as United Villages (UV), was created by the founders of FMS. The purpose behind the creation of UV was to develop for-profit rural internet service providers using FMS technology.
FMS and United Villages merged in 2003 and an operating company, known as United Villages Network Private Limited
