Abstract

This paper presents an integrated solution with associated technologies for enabling broadband access in rural areas. Wired and wireless technologies are used to allow broadband access in remote areas of Brazilian Amazon Forest (northern Brazil). This solution allows the increase of telecommunication services to citizens in these areas, and it also provides digital inclusion in regions with low availability infrastructure. Aspects of deployment, management and maintenance costs are also presented and discussed.
