On November 23, 2018, with the support of the Internet Society in the village of Suusamyr, Chui oblast, the project \u201cSuusamyr Net\u201d was launched.<\/p>\n
This initiative aims to provide Internet access to residents of the Suusamyr Valley, expanding opportunities and increasing access to information.<\/p>\n
In a mountainous country, more than half of the population lives far from big cities and modern technologies. Less than 40 percent of the country’s population has access to the Internet. Such a project allows realizing the idea of digital transformation of the country.<\/p>\n
Internet Society began work on the promotion of the Internet in the remote villages of the country in 2017. A round table was held on the Internet connection in remote areas of Kyrgyzstan. This project is the first of its kind in Central Asia. Building a public Internet provider in the village of Suusamyr will also allow you to gain experience in connecting remote areas and help identify obstacles to creating public providers. The budget of the pilot project in Suusamyr is $ 35,000 provided by the Internet grant program of the Society \u201cBeyond the Net\u201d.<\/p>\n
This pilot project consists of two phases:<\/p>\n
1. Conducting the Internet in the village Suusamyr.
\nThe optimal solution for the implementation of the first stage was the use of radio relay transmitters.
\nAt a distance of 23 km from the village there is a connection point (gas station Gazprom) to the fiber-optic highway Elkat. Due to the lack of direct visibility, the radio bridge was built of two spans.
\nThe first span from the gas station Gazprom to\u00a0Tokiluu, distance 6km.
\nSecond span from\u00a0Tokiluu to Suusamyr 18km distance.
\nAt the moment, it was possible to achieve a channel with 90 Mbps speed. In the future it is planned to double the width of the channel.<\/p>\n
2. Construction of a network inside the village.
\nThe Community Network infrastructure is based on GEPON technology. The main feature is high – connection speed, up to 1000 Mbps. Such a reserve of speed will allow to delay the need to upgrade equipment for many years, providing an extremely high level of services.<\/p>\n
Local residents were involved in the construction of the network. So welders for metal welded fixtures on which wires were hung. Local electricians hung fiber optic cables on power poles. Several people were trained to work with a special welding machine for optical fiber and work with subscriber equipment.<\/p>\n
Preliminary results of the project:
\nThe use of modern technology has reduced the cost of the project. The involvement of local people in the creation of a community network has strengthened the future of the project.
\nSo the subscriber connection is 4000 soms, which is equal to the cost of equipment and necessary work.
\nThe monthly fee is 650 soms with a tariff of 5 Mbps for the first 50 subscribers. The network is capable of receiving up to 250 subscribers. With an increase in subscribers, the monthly subscription fee will significantly decrease, dividing all monthly network expenses equally among subscribers.<\/p>\n
At the request of residents, it is also planned to introduce the possibility of connecting IP television with 100 channels, which will cost an additional 200 soms per month, and the purchase of a TV box for 2000 soms will be necessary.<\/p>\n
After the successful launch of a Community Network in the village of Suusamyr, the project will be scaled to all regions of the country. This will include training of interested communities on the example of a pilot project, assistance in designing, building and launching Community Networks.<\/p>\n
