Southern Space Studies,2523-37183-030-15765-2 Broadband access for remote un-serviced communities -- Requirements definition -- Conceptual design -- Detailed design -- Impact -- Financing the construction and operation of the BARC -- Conclusions.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.Southern Space Studies,2523-3718Electrical engineeringAerospace engineeringAstronauticsEconomic developmentCommunications Engineering, Networkshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T24035Aerospace Technology and Astronauticshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T17050Regional Developmenthttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/913050Electrical engineering.Aerospace engineering.Astronautics.Economic development.Communications Engineering, Networks.Aerospace Technology and Astronautics.Regional Development.621.382025.042Kotze Christoffelauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1061730BOOK9910366577903321A Broadband Apparatus for Underserviced Remote Communities2519911UNINA
