  Abstract

Current wireless communications systems and related business models do not suit realities in low-income remote rural areas (LIRRA) in developing countries. In this article, we first analyze socio-cultural, economic, and environmental conditions in these areas to illustrate the inappropriateness of current approaches. Then, we propose a more adequate four-layered multi-disciplinary connectivity model and a matching wireless system architecture to specifically and durably connect these under-privileged areas. The proposed model and technological choices exploit strengths and weaknesses of LIRRA to derive befitting tradeoffs. A particularity of the proposed model is that it accommodates key traditional international development partners. Existing and future wireless technologies are also analyzed vis-à-vis the proposed model.
