Diseño de conectividad y red comunitaria de bajo costo del Barrio San José

Abstract

Abstract: The project developed in the San José neighborhood represents a significant step forward in improving the quality of life for its residents. It involves the implementation of a community Internet provider tailored to the specific needs and conditions of the area. To achieve this, a network infrastructure based on point-to-point links has been designed, capable of providing high-speed Internet access to all residents. The strategy includes the use of wireless connections and splitters, which proves more efficient given the complex topography of the area and the high costs of traditional alternatives. Additionally, the project incorporates a training component so that residents themselves can maintain and care for the network, ensuring its long-term sustainability. In this way, the technical advantages of fiber optics and radio links are balanced with the social and economic realities of the neighborhood. The process involves conducting surveys, field visits, and data collection to define a clear implementation strategy. It also allows the identification of infrastructure and investment costs, ensuring a sustainable model that reduces the connectivity deficit and helps close the digital divide in this rural community.
