Resumo

This work presents a cost-effective solution for extending internet access to underserved communities in the Amazon and other isolated regions. By deploying private LTE networks using open-source software, such as MagmaCore, a core network solution, and leveraging satellite backhaul connectivity, we address the limitations of WiFi based community networks. Our approach offers wider coverage, scalability, and quality of service, making it an attractive option for rural connectivity. Through the integration of open-source software and satellite technology, we demonstrate a scalable and affordable strategy for bridging the digital divide in remote areas.
