Practical aspects of broadband access for rural communities using a cost and power efficient multi-hop/relay network

Faisal Darbari, Malcolm Brew, Stephan Weiss, W. Stewart Robert · 2010

Summary. Wireless radio networks offer practical broadband solutions for sparse rural populations where fiber and DSL are economically unfeasible in mountainous terrain. The authors deployed a test bed in the Scottish Highlands and Islands using 5GHz networks with UHF white space overlay. They demonstrate that energy self-sufficient relay nodes create a robust, independent system for delivering broadband to remote rural communities.
