Very cool! Many of us have dreamed of doing this in the USA. Seeing it done in Africa where it meets an actual neeed rather than just a hacker fantasy is particular cool!

How are the nodes connected? Is it a mesh?

How about the backhaul? How's that handled and is it still under the control of the telcos?

It's not a mesh. We do a point to point between towers and then a point to multi point to customers. Mesh halves throughput, so we stayed away from it.

Single radio meshes halve throughput, but a multi-radio mesh does not have that same hop speed halving effect.

Or you could bond the two radio channels and have twice the throughput, which is effectively the same thing as halving the throughput vs equipment and spectrum costs.

Would love to know any details about the last point to multi-point part segment.

Do customers need to install wifi receivers on their roof tops ?

Can you go inside flats ?

Do you need line of sight to the towers from homes ?

How far can a house be from the tower ?
