Hello,
I'm hoping to learn some pointers and get advice for a colleague hoping to establishing a rural wireless-ISP in South America. It's the typical story as in most other South American countries the capital city is served to some extent by the monopoly provider and the rural towns and villages are very poorly served. The intention is to establish Internet Kiosks where the locals can access the internet and make VOIP calls even transact some ecommerce.
In my limited search I did come across a wireless system by Analog Devices know as "corDECT", that is doing a good job over in India. But not to constrain the options, we're hoping to learn about any solution that is suitable for this situation.
Any suggestions on:
b) Necessary hardware & software components c) Installation (the easier the better) & maintenance requirements (lower is better) d) how to get the traffic generated out at lowest cost
thanks,

Possibly not what you are looking for, might be more than you are looking for, but SOMA Networks has a 3G'ish wireless platform which does land-line quality voice and very respectable data rates. You need a chunk of spectrum though. http://www.somanetworks.com On Tue, 16 Apr 2002 Guy.Ram@usa.telekom.de wrote:
