Information and Data Distribution System for Rural Areas of Indonesia
Abstract: Internet becomes
critical infrastructure in the distribution of information. The information is
used for decision making and ensure the success of human activities. However,
the distribution of information in rural Indonesia is inconvenient, because the
digital communication infrastructure (internet) doesn’t cover all areas in
Indonesia. This problem causes the digital divide in Indonesia. This study
proposes communications infrastructure and data transfer mechanism or media
sharing that can be applied to a variety of rural areas conditions in
Indonesia, which has limited communications infrastructure. The approach is to
build low power digital carrier devices in the form of minicomputer and utilize
Delay or Disruptions Tolerant Network (DTN) architecture. Testing results in
the digital carrier node show that the data is successfully delivered.
