Abstract

This paper describes a rural ICT (Information and Communication Technology) project in the most remote areas of Sarawak, the Bario and Long Bedian. In the absent of both regular power supply and basic telecommunication infrastructure, the e-Bario and the e-Bedian projects overcome the challenges in providing the community and the schools with Internet connectivity. The telecommunication infrastructure implemented in the project is also discussed which include the use of VSAT(Very Small Aperture Terminal), call routing and wireless technology.
