Diseño de conectividad y red comunitaria de bajo costo para el Recinto Unión Bolivarense

Abstract

Abstract: The purpose of this thesis is to design a community network in the precinct Unión Bolivarense, located in the province of Pichincha, in the canton of San Miguel de los Bancos. Currently, only a few homes within the campus have internet access; however, the cost of the service is high and inaccessible to the area's residents. For this reason, the design of a low-cost community network is proposed. For its implementation, factors such as the campus's topography, climatic conditions, and economic situation be considered. Taking into account the needs of the residents, an extended star topology was designed, which is perfectly suited to this type of work in rural areas with varying elevations and tree strata. For this reason, purpose, the use of Ubiquiti brand equipment is proposed, providing efficiency and robustness in the network design. Three scenarios are presented to assess the project's financial sustainability, considering sources of financing such as bank loans and the "Conectamos Comunidades" program, a Ministry of Communications and Telecommunications (MINTEL) initiative in collaboration with the various municipal GADs. These options enable project implementation, reducing the financial burden on the site and ensuring its sustainability.
