More than 2 billion people in the developing world live in rural and remote communities that lack basic access to information and communications technologies, such as telephony, computing, and Internet access.
So what’s so important about internet access?
Let’s say someone in your village is sick and the medicine they need is in a village 200 kilometers away. Lacking basic infrastructure such as telephones means someone has to hoof it, bike, or in very lucky circumstances—drive to that next town. That’s a 400km round-trip over bad roads and anywhere from a 6 hour to 2 day trek.
Now let’s say your village has a low-cost radio tower with basic internet services and can make a VOIP call to that next village. That call shaves the trip in half and gets the medicine there quicker.
Inveneo builds those towers.
