Reducing the Digital Divide in Vulnerable Populations in the City of Córdoba Using WIFI and Unlicensed LTE Technology

Years
2021
Countries
Argentina

The goal of the project is to reduce the digital divide in vulnerable areas of the city of Córdoba with little or no Internet access, using LTE base stations operating on unlicensed frequency bands for point-to-multipoint links. Thus, it seeks to enable access to the various services available online, including education, health, public services, and access to the Digital Neighbor (VeCi) and Digital Citizen (CIDI) platforms.

The project format allows its replication in different municipalities, as well as in other provinces. Its main focus is to reduce the digital divide. In this sense, any jurisdiction can develop a similar project adapted the characteristics of each city (example: by identifying its own citizen participation centers). The proposed technology only requires electricity for CPEs as it is uses LTE, can reach several places in just a few days, and can be adapted to different modalities and, therefore, to different geographical locations.
