They have setup broadband network in Dharamsala and in places where there are power problems using WiFi routers, solar cells and Ubuntu. Airjaldi’s is providing broadband services in rural India where terrain is difficult, the population is sparse, and financial resources are scarce. Success depends on keeping overheads to an absolute minimum – and there is no spare budget for costly, proprietary software. Instead, the company powers its Network Operations Centre (NOC) with free, open-source software Ubuntu Server. To further reduce operating costs, Airjaldi uses Ubuntu on its workstations, where its simplicity and ease of use are great benefits for employees. http://www.canonical.com/about-canonical/resources/case-studies/ubuntu-helps-bridge-digital-divide-rural-india If you are using Ubuntu in interesting ways or have significantly large deployments, do let us know! -- Prakash Advani | http://cityblogger.com -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in -- Regards, T.Shrinivasan My Life with GNU/Linux : http://goinggnu.wordpress.com Free/Open Source Jobs : http://fossjobs.in Get CollabNet Subversion Edge : http://www.collab.net/svnedge _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
