Yesterday I had the privilege of hanging out with Stefan, the Tech Advisor of BOSCO Uganda, an Austrian organization that attempts to use battery powered devices to bring communications technology to IDP camps and villages around the Gulu area. Stefan uses several technologies that I School folks might be familiar with. For example, one location, in the Pabo IDP camp, uses a low-power Inveneo thin client to conserve battery power (provided by a 30 watt/hour solar cell and battery array). At the Pagak camp, some of the trainers in a community center had just received a shipment of XO-1 laptops. The trainers were demonstrating them, and told me that they were going to use them for the camp's ICT cirriculum. Finally, Stefan demonstrated that he uses, among other things, Berkeley's TIER long range WiFi technology to connect isolated camps with a 200+ kb/s network connection in Gulu. Therefore, camp to Internet is slow, but camp to camp network is up in the megabit speed range. BOSCO doesn't log what IDPs are checking out on the network, but Stefan told me that it's a lot of email, Facebook, and news.
