Community Networking |
A project of students and faculty at the LBJ School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas at Austin, CommunityNetworking.org is a resource and news site for organizations that need to use computers and the Internet, but which have to work with low budgets. New technologies and techniques are emerging that allow low-budget, community-based organizations to improve their use of information technologies and still stay within their financial means.

Delay Tolerant Networking Research Group |
The Delay-Tolerant Networking Research Group (DTNRG) is concerned with how to address the architectural and protocol design principles arising from the need to provide interoperable communications with and among extreme and performance-challenged environments where continuous end-to-end connectivity cannot be assumed. Examples of such environments include spacecraft, military/tactical, some forms of disaster response, underwater, and some forms of ad-hoc sensor/actuator networks.

First Mile Solutions |
The Internet is the nervous system of our planet and the billions of people who lack communications infrastructure do not see themselves as the "last mile problem". Last mile problems are seen as first mile opportunities for both operators and end-users. Now, for under $1.00 per user, rural communities that have never seen a newspaper can do things like email, browse the Web, and have their own voicemail box. Our technology leverages two major trends that are rapidly driving costs down: WiFi (802.11x wireless) and digital storage. Essentially, we develop cached WiFi intelligence.

Postman Always Rings Twice |
Why does the postman ring twice? Answer: once for traditional paper (analogue) content and twice for digital data. In this project, we study: how to extend and complement the Internet with the literal use of the postal system; how to build peer-to-peer interaction applications on top of the postman network; and how to deliver basic education in disadvantaged areas as a key application.

Radio E-mail in West Africa |
Deep inside the warm green interior of Guinea, centered in the frontal lobe of West Africa, field personnel in the widely scattered village-towns of Dabola, Kissidougou and Nzerekore now enjoy access to regular internet e-mail, directly from their desktops. Here we have bridged the digital divide, and there isn't a telephone line or satellite dish in sight. Instead we are moving the mail over distances of hundreds of miles--over jungled mountains and high palmy savannahs--through wavelengths of high-frequency (HF) radio.

Survey of Projects on ICT for Developing Regions |
Today's world is shaped by availability of information and ability to communicate, both of which are enabled through the advance of the computer as a core part of our existence. However, while these technologies and advances in telecommunications are readily available in developed countries, the cost of setting up the necessary infrastructure is often too high for developing regions or urban areas.

WiderNet Project |
The eGranary Digital Library provides Internet resources off-line to institutions lacking adequate Internet access. Through a process of copying Web sites and delivering them to intranet Web servers INSIDE our partner institutions in developing countries, we deliver millions of documents that can be instantly accessed over local area networks.
