Diseño de conectividad y red comunitaria de bajo costo para el Barrio Sauce de la parroquia San Pablo de Tenta del cantón Saraguro

Abstract

Abstract: Internet access is an important factor in the development of a society. The lack of Internet access in rural areas has relegated them to technological and educational progress. The objective of this degree project is the design of a low-cost community network for the Sauce neighborhood of the San Pablo de Tenta parish in the Saraguro canton. The project uses the method of mixed quantitative and qualitative approach, through surveys to know the situation of the sector, and necessary technical requirements, in order to provide Internet service at low cost and thus minimize the digital divide and inequalities with the current society. WiFi technology with the IEEE 802.11 a/n/ax standard was chosen to establish point-to-point and point-to-multipoint links that guarantee data transmission, availability, integrity, confidentiality and security. A 5-year financial and economic analysis of sustainability is carried out, with three scenarios that allow the financial evaluation of the project. This analysis made it feasible to establish two scenarios to achieve the sustainability of the project.
