MCTs are experimented in two villages with no electricity | ||||||
The MCTs, which were deployed under the Valetta Action Plan (VAP), are located in two small villages containing 2,000 and 3,500 inhabitants, respectively. These villages are surrounded by smaller villages of less than 300 inhabitants which lack telephone service, electricity and adequate road access. | ||||||
mini-MCTs are connected to MCT by packet radio | ||||||
The packet radio network will link ?gmini-MCTs?h, consisting of 1-2 personal computers (PCs) in an outlying village, to one of the full size MCTs. Each mini-MCT will use a 38,400-baud packet radio node and establish a wireless link to a server at the nearest MCT. The mini- MCTs will be capable of providing all of the standard Internet-based services plus a set of customized services developed by the project partners in the areas of tele-health, tele-education, agriculture, emergency management and community messaging. | ||||||
Half of the cost is electricity generation | ||||||
The cost of a basic repeater station for the planned pilot network is USD 2210. The cost breakdown by component reveals that the communications equipment is responsible for only about half of the cost while the power source accounts for nearly 45% of the total expense. |
