Broad Band Access in Rural Areas: Bridging the Digital Divide Through Technological Innovations
Summary. Rural areas lack internet connectivity, restricting access to education, healthcare, and economic opportunities. This paper proposes a hybrid broadband network combining cable TV infrastructure with Wi-Fi 6 mesh technology and satellite backhaul to deliver affordable, scalable internet access. The system uses solar-powered nodes and edge caching to maximize efficiency, enabling rural communities to access telemedicine, online education, and digital marketplaces.
