INFRASTRUCTURE

Ten rural telecenters of information and communication technologies are consider to be implemented, which will be interconnected with servers for video, contents and another one for trials and management. They will be installed in a communication cabinet, located in the central station.

This interconnection will take place through an extra net that will use an appropriate telecommunication system, and also it make rural telecenters be provided with internet service, which allow them to have access to all services provided by the rural telecenter platform.

Two kinds of technologies will be used for the implementation of our system:

These ten selected persons will receive 6 live attending courses; and when rural telecenters begin to work and are able to provide internet services,

They will receive three month updating teletraining courses through teletraining systems which will be implemented in the first project activity (rural platform).

The training course structure for network managers is as follows:

•  Course 1: Rural telecenter management.

•  Course 2: Introduction to free software use and Linux operating system.
