LTE

Despite the fact that four billion users are on the Internet, three billion people in rural and developing areas still have no access to the Internet [1]. Due to the lower population density and the lack of infrastructure, the return of investment in these areas does not compare to cities. In our lab, the Information and Communication Technology for Development (ICTD) lab at the University of Washington, we expand Internet access by developing a small-scale LTE core network that the communities can deploy and maintain by themselves. The project is called Community LTE Networks, or CoLTE for short.
