Speaker
Description
This lightning talk will present real-world deployment scenarios for NRENs and the transformative potential of a solar-powered eduroam node. More than just a green solution, this node provides a resilient, scalable, and inclusive technology that is redefining eduroam's reach. Join us to discover how this innovation is not only growing NRENs and greening eduroam but also changing lives in underserved areas, one connection at a time.
We will show how NRENs can expand digital access to remote and underserved areas without relying on traditional power grids. It all started with an idea that was born at the Uganda NREN RENU: to develop a solar powered eduroam node which can work with all kinds of upstream infrastructures like 3G, 4G and 5G mobile infrastructures. RENU developed a solar-powered node that provides a groundbreaking solution, not just for sustainability but for resilient, inclusive, and adaptable connectivity.
