Arquitectura de red para mejorar la conectividad de los ciudadanos de la zona rural del barrio La Merced

Abstract

Abstract:This thesis addresses the analysis, design, and implementation of a community ISP for the La Merced neighborhood, a rural area with limited connectivity. The problem lies in the lack of access to quality internet, which affects the educational, economic, and social development of its residents. The objective is to implement a sustainable network that guarantees efficient and accessible connectivity for the community. The methodology used included a diagnosis of the current situation through speed measurements and a technology census, revealing service deficiencies and a high interest in a collaborative model. An infrastructure based on fiber optics and radio links was designed, optimizing costs and coverage. The conclusion was reached that the implementation of a community ISP not only improves internet access but also boosts local development, enabling online education, digital commerce, and technological inclusion. In addition, a training program is proposed for the sustainability of the system, strengthening the community's technological autonomy.
