Description
This course is based on two ITU products: The Last-Mile Connectivity Internet Solutions Guide and Broadband Connectivity Toolkit. The Last-Mile Connectivity Internet Solutions Guide was developed to support the design and development of programmes and interventions that address the lack of Internet infrastructure availability in certain areas and high Internet service prices that make Internet connectivity unaffordable for local populations.
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
-
Understand the steps for identifying and selecting affordable and sustainable technology for connecting a locality to broadband transport backbones (Middle-Mile connections for localities, schools, hospitals etc.)
-
Understand the steps for identifying and selecting affordable and sustainable technology for creating last mile connectivity for localities.
-
Determine a network topology for a multiple objects network
