DakNet
DakNet To Internet
The global system of interconnected computer networks
Network Applications
Everything is getting hi-tech nowadays and use of internet has deepened its roots everywhere like:
File Sharing
e banking
e shopping
e ticketing
Cheap communication through E mails & VOIP
Research & Development
Entertainment
But…. Can They Afford Internet Expenses??
Here Comes The Benefit Of DakNet DakNet, an ad hoc network that uses wireless technology to provide
asynchronous digital connectivity. Developed by MIT Media Lab
Researchers.Deployed in remote parts of both India and Cambodia at a cost two orders of magnitude less than that of traditional landline solutions.
Daknet offers data to be transmitted over short point-to-point links. It combines physical and wireless data transport .Data is transported by means of a mobile access point, which automatically and wirelessly collects and delivers data from/to each kiosk on the network. Low cost WIFI radio transceivers automatically transfer the data stored in the MAP at high bandwidth for each point- to- point connection.
As the MAP-equipped vehicle comes within range of a village WiFi enabled kiosk, it automatically senses
the wireless connection and then uploads and downloads tens of megabytes of data.
When a MAP-equipped vehicle comes within range of an Internet access point (the hub), it automatically synchronizes the data from all the rural kiosks, using the Internet.
POTENTIAL APPLICATIONS
The store-and-forward wireless network represented by DakNet can be used for a wide variety of applications.
Internet/intranet messaging
Information distribution/broadcasting
Information Collection
Information Searching and Web applications
DAKNET IN ACTION
Daknet is currently in action in many places.
They are,
Bhoomi initiative in Karnataka
SARI (Sustainable Access for Rural India) project of Tamilnadu
Ratnakiri project in Cambodia
Scalability
DakNet provide a seamless method of upgrading to always-on broadband connectivity.
Can use the same hardware, software, and user interface to enjoy real time information access.
Next Steps: Scaling It Up
DakNet is going to be deployed and tested in larger implementations with applications that exploit in broadband capabilities.
The current R&D focus is on further lowering the costs of the required and developing a highly interoperable and cross platform software module so that deployment processes can be streamlined
