A Broadband Apparatus for Underserviced Remote Communities - Connecting the Unconnected (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2020)

This book investigates how broadband internet can be provided to remote and isolated communities through the use of satellite and other enabling technologies, in the form of a self-contained broadband apparatus. It discusses how the proposed design can help bridge the digital divide by removing one of the main hurdles to adopting technologies: infrastructure. In turn, the book explores how the lack of infrastructure, especially with regard to connectivity and electricity, can be addressed by exploiting new technological advances in a number of fields, notably the newly proposed large broadband satellite constellations. In closing, it uses concrete examples to demonstrate the potential positive impacts of a "broadband ecosystem" on economics, governance and society, and on achieving the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals.
