Abstract

Next generation wireless technology with converged voice and data applications can offer rural connectivity for proper boost in Information and Communication Technology (ICT). In this study, a cost-effective ICT based solution for economic development of rural community in developing countries using appropriate next generation wireless networking technology has been represented. In the target country, Bangladesh, several Wireless Rural Points (WRPs) in a village will be connected to the local server of the village called Wireless Access Point (WAP). Each of several WAPs will be connected to several Rural Resource Servers (RRSs) and thus will form a Rural Resource Network (RRN). Adopting the proposed model with the existing ICT infrastructure of the target country can provide significant economic development therefore for the rural community. A similar implementation in other developing countries can offer a massive success.
