Smart Padyak: Wifi on Wheels

Listen to article

Inq7.net melaporkan bahwa Smart Communications telah menggunakan ojek sepeda untuk membawa internet nirkabel ke daerah di Filipina yang masih belum memiliki internet:

Sebagai pengganti penumpang, sisi sepeda roda dua khusus yang dilengkapi khusus justru membawa komputer desktop dan antena nirkabel yang terhubung ke jaringan seluler perusahaan telekomunikasi Smart Communications.

Smart menjalankan layanan Internet nirkabel tetap, yang disebut Smart Bro, melalui jaringan selulernya.

Namun, komputer tersebut tetap harus terhubung ke soket listrik biasa untuk berfungsi, kata Ramon Isberto, kepala hal ehwal publik Smart.

Dia mengatakan bahwa eksperimen ini, yang disebut "Smart Padyak" (Smart Berlayar), sedang berlangsung di Cebu dan beberapa bagian di Metro Manila.

Sepertinya mereka lebih agresif memperluas cakupan mereka daripada menyimpan cakupan yang sedang memburuk ini.

Cerita lengkap dapat ditemukan di sini.

Ever heard of Smart Click? Its a complete internet cafe/computer center in a container van franchised by Smart. We have one here in our place – Aurora province. I heard that there are now 5 of these in Luzon. It uses the Smart wifi/bro service to connect to the internet.

For a moment I thought the PCs would be pedal-powered. It might work if those were laptops.

I agree. What good would the Smart Padyak do my cousin’s woeful connection speed of 23kpbs?
