Current Challenges in the Gambia High speed Internet connections are expensive and customers face a long wait for their line to be set up. Broadband is not available in most cities outside Banjul Post-paid contracts remain the only option, in sharp contrast to the mobile phone business. Computers are expensive, and require lots of power.

High speed Internet connections are expensive and customers face a long wait for their line to be set up.

Broadband is not available in most cities outside Banjul

Post-paid contracts remain the only option, in sharp contrast to the mobile phone business.

Computers are expensive, and require lots of power.

The answer lies in: Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs)

Access Point Up Close Weighs about 2 kg. Completely waterproof, weatherproof. Just needs power Only uses 3 Watts, can be set up for solar operation.

Start with a fast and reliable Internet Connection.

Connect it to the weatherproof Access Point on top of a building, or mobile phone mast

Distribute that Connection Wirelessly That router distributes the Internet connection wirelessly, with a radius of 2 km, serving as an Access Point

That router distributes the Internet connection wirelessly, with a radius of 2 km, serving as an Access Point

That Access Point Can Connect to Other Access Points...

2 km Forming a Chain 4 APs thus extend the Internet 8 km 2 km 2 km

Or, more often, a Mesh

Advantages of mesh Major resiliency - automatically routes around a failed Access Point Covers enormous amounts of area - just add new AP and you can bring new neighborhood online! Infrastructure is easy to install and once in place, users can join network on the same day!

We can use Mesh Networks to provide access within cities and then use directional antennas to connect up other cities with Point to Point links. 30 km

30 km We just need a clear Line of Sight Connection... ...and we can form 30 km Wireless “Bridges” from Banjul to other towns, countries. 30 km 30 km

Banjul Mesh Sanyang Connection, received from Banjul and then distributed wirelessly over 2 km radius 30 km PTP Bridge A Point to Point (PTP) Connection Example

The Gambia is ideal for such long range Wireless Connections, since the topology is generally flat. Of course, it can go beyond the Gambia to communities in neighboring countries.

Already in Operation in Bissau, Maseru Guinea Bissau: 9 Access Points Sharing Internet Connection from Port Authority across city. Lesotho: 6 Access Points Sharing Internet Connection across airport, conference centre, hotels.

Have a UPS? Work for 3 hours, not 30 minutes in a Power Out! A UPS that will keep a Dell or HP desktop and monitor (180W Power) running for 30 minutes in a power out will keep an E2 and monitor running for 3 hours - 6 times as long - and enough to work through the power out!

Use the E2 as a Thin Client A group of E2’s can be connected into a network in your school, clinic or IT Centre, operating as a ‘thin-client’ solution: Low power: the computers can run off solar power and batteries Rugged VESA-Mountable so low foot-print Reliable with three years local warranty and support Fast Connects to Edubuntu server, operates with Linux Terminal Server Project Fully compatible with Citrix, Tarantella, Windows Terminal Service Free Server! For orders over 30 units, we will include a free Edubuntu server (with 8GB of memory to ensure rapid performance). That saves you not only money, but also time spent configuring, selecting, and procuring a server. And we guarantee it will be low power!

Free Server! For orders over 30 units, we will include a free Edubuntu server (with 8GB of memory to ensure rapid performance). That saves you not only money, but also time spent configuring, selecting, and procuring a server. And we guarantee it will be low power!

How does it work as a Thin Client? We configure a server with appropriate software (such as Edubuntu). All data resides on the server, which is powered by a UPS, that can in turn be connected to a solar grid. Each E2 then serves essentially as a Keyboard, Video, Mouse device. It’s so small that it can be built into the trunking that the Ethernet cables pass through (as shown above).

What are advantages of E2 over HP or Wyse Thin Client? Low power consumption and price of E2 is only slightly less than Wyse S50. However, the E2 boasts 512MB RAM onboard RAM, compared to 128MB on a Wyse S50. It also features a powerful graphics chipset. That means, it can display and stream Video Content, making for a superior multimedia experience, especially important with education. It also has a 3 Year Warranty, versus a 1 Year Warranty for most thin clients (including Wyse).

What are the technical specs? Memory: 512MB DDR2 RAM. CPU: VIA EDEN 500 MHz CPU. Graphics: VIA UniChrome Pro II for 2D & 3D graphics with MPEG2 & MPEG4 decoding accelerator; up to 128 MB shared memory; can play HD Video. VGA Port: Supports resolutions of up to 1920x1440. Audio: VIA Vinyl VT 1708 chip (handles HD Audio). Expansion: 3 x USB 2.0 Ports; 10/100 Mbps Ethernet Port.

Expansion: 3 x USB 2.0 Ports; 10/100 Mbps Ethernet Port.

Is 500MHz fast enough as a CPU? Puppy Linux runs entirely in RAM . Programs move from the CF Card to RAM. In a traditional computer, programs are accessed through a hard drive and the hard drive’s speed (for instance, 7200 rotations per minute, or RPM) and the CPU’s speed are the bottlenecks to faster performance. With Puppy running entirely in RAM, performance is extremely fast.

Processor speed is not the “be all and end all” factor that Chipmakers Intel and AMD would have you believe. Smarter software means you can use less expensive and less power-hungry components and still enjoy great performance.

Warranty Advantage Because the Aleutia E2 has no moving parts and all components have been selected for their reliability and compressed on one board, we are able to easily offer Local Warranty for 3 Years . In a traditional computer, all sorts of components can fail. For instance, hard drives have a 3% annual failure rate. When a computer fails, each component (hard drive, graphics card, memory, etc.) has to be fault-tested and diagnosed by an engineer. With the E2, by contrast, a local reseller is provided with spare units which can be instantly swapped for the failed unit. The reliability of the system enables us to shoulder the cost of a 3 Year Warranty.

Support Advantage: 3 Years, Unlimited Aleutia and its partners pride ourselves on providing immediate support on any software or hardware related queries. Every E2 includes 3 Years of Unlimited Email Support at no additional charge. Moreover, for large projects, we are able to offer unlimited telephone support over 3 Years free of charge.

90 Day Guarantee We offer a 90 Day Money-Back Guarantee on our computers. If you don’t completely love the E2, you have 90 days to return to us for a FULL REFUND.

Total Quality Management (TQM) Aleutia maintains a cutting-edge online database that logs all serial numbers of its products. Every computer’s sale is recorded and logged - enabling faster turnaround of warranty fulfillment and optimal tech support.
