Presentation trieste nov 2011
- 1. Application of open software and embedded systems in wireless networks for rural areas by GTR-PUCP. CESAR CORDOVA BERNUY Rural Telecommunications Group
- 2. Founded in 1998, GTR-PUCP is a group of professors, professionals, current and graduated students and researchers dedicated to the development and promotion of the rural telecommunications in Latin America. We are an organization formed and supported on the Faculty of Sciences and Engineering of PUCP into the field ofTelecommunications.
- 3. We are a multidisciplinary team committed to the research, development, application, analysis, evaluation of impact and promotion of Information and CommunicationTechnologies (ICT), which contribute to the improvement of the standard of living of marginal communities, which have none or limited access to communication media, with emphasis in those located in the rural environment.
- 4. Our goal is to become one of the leaders in development of appropriate and innovative low-cost technological solutions in the field of rural telecommunications and to be recognized national and internationally as a reference in the areas of Information and CommunicationsTechnologies for human development.
- 5. It was an initiative of GBT-UPM, joined PUCP and formed a researching laboratory on low cost rural telecommunications. There was a technological transference from GTB- UPM to GTR-PUCP At the begining GTR-PUCP was supported by: - Hispanic American Health Link (EHAS) - Politechnical University of Madrid (UPM) - NGO Engineering Without Borders (ISF) - Pontifical Catholic University of Peru (PUCP) Atthebegining
- 6. Now we are partners on EHAS Foundation. We've replicated the experience and also we've done technological transference to other institutions like: - National University San Antonio Abab of Cusco (UNSAAC) – Peru - National University of Ica (UNICA) - Peru - Private Technical University of Loja (UTPL) - Ecuador - NGO ITDG through CEDECAP in Cajamarca - Peru Our purpose is to develop technical expertise in different zones of intervention in different levels. We make training and workshops on wireless technologies. Now
- 9. Research and development of appropriate telecommunications technologies for the rural areas. Execution of social responsibility projects in the university; Exercising and strengthening of academic teaching, inside and outside of our university. Technical training for universities, social organizations, enterprises, workers and final users of ICT.
- 10. Developed by EHAS partners and mainly based on radiocommunication and free software WiFi Embeded system Linux Voyage

- 17. ROUTER VOYAGE GTR •Wireless router outdoor •For long distance •Low energy consumption, under 10 W (can be fed with a solar panel of 50 Wp) • Low cost. •Support 802.11abg (1, 2 ó 3 wireless interfaces) •Asterisk (VoIP server) incorporated •Interface web for easy basic configuration •SNMP •Dinamic routing (OSPF) •Security (WPA2-PSK) •QoS WiFisystem
- 18. Network configuration and voIP test
- 19. GTR-PUCP develops its work in areas located in rural zones with difficult access and with no energy sources but the natural ones. Then, we have developed our own solutions in order to use our technologies with the available power sources.

- 22. NewlinesofResearch • 802.11n under test in field • Wimax technologies • Remote surveillance systems for telecommunication infrastructure. • Fentocells and Low cost GSM mobile telephony: Open software solutions: Open BTS + GNUradio + Asterisk, over USRP Hardware • Wireless Sensor Networks
- 23. GTR-PUCP works in two programs related to millennium developments goals. - EHAS program on e-health - Willay program on e-government
- 24. GTR-PUCP is founder and member of the Hispanic- American Health Network (EHAS for its initials in Spanish) consortium, conformed by more than 10 universities and institutions in America and Europe. We develop projects which involve ICT in health and social development in general. The main objetive is to employ appropiated telemedicine systems for rural primary health care (low cost and adapted to local needs)
- 25. GTR-PUCP and the NGO ISF ApD in 2006 founded theWILLAY program. Its objective: Improving the local democratic governability of public entities such as municipal governments, education, health and inclusion of minorities from the rural zones of Peru. The word “Willay” comes from the family language of quechua, and means “communicate”.That is the original purpose of the program. Associates: ISF, UNSAAC, SP-ITDG and GTR-PUCP
- 26. We work with government institutions and beneficiaries to raise awareness about the use of ICTs We involve beneficiaries in the process of designing, implementing, care, maintenance and repair systems for sustainability. In ICT’s projects usually There are local contributions from the province government, the local councils and the communities Training activities in the use and maintenance of ICT’s
- 27. The objective of this project was to improve the health conditions of the Peruvian population from the Amazon rainforest in Loreto, providing electric energy, data and voice communication to the chosen health centers in the province of Alto Amazonas. AECI
- 28. processes in 6 health establishments in Peru (North of the Province of Alto Amazonas) and 6 in Colombia (Indigenous Reserve of Guambia). In total, 69 EHAS stations were installed in the provinces of Alto Amazonas and Datem del Marañon. Project which involved the installation of EHAS Stations, offering remote training services and improvement of health
- 29. The objective of this project is to demonstrate that primary health assistance services in rural zones of Latin America are possible through the development of adequate ICT. Three pilot projects were implemented in Peru, Colombia and Cuba, as a result we had a decreasing number in emergency evacuations and the improvement of the patient references system and the epidemiologic surveillance system.
- 30. Pilot project which aimed to evaluate the institutional and technical viability of telemedicine services such as stethoscophy, cardiology and dermatology in the Cuzco network, which was implemented through the EHAS-@LIS Project.
- 32. Project of epidemiologic surveillance of malaria in borderline zones of the Andean region, approved byTheWorld Found through the subproject “Data and voice communication networks in health centers of the border zone Peru-Ecuador” (RECOVODA), which consists in the establishment of data and voice telecommunication networks for 29 stations in Peru and 12 in Ecuador in the rural zones and frontiers.
