尼泊尔偏远村庄的社区网络工程
In the high Himalayas, thousands of villages lie hours from the nearest paved road. For years, their isolation meant no phone signal and no internet, cutting them off from vital services and economic opportunities. But a quiet revolution is underway, driven not by telecom giants, but by the villagers themselves.
Community-run internet networks are springing up across Nepal's most remote districts. Local volunteers, often young people with basic technical training, install solar-powered routers and antennas on rooftops and hillsides. They connect these in a mesh system, sharing bandwidth from a single satellite link among dozens of households.
