Introduction
In some villages located far from big cities, there are severe problems with Internet access. The lack of a high-quality Internet connection interferes with work, communication, and entertainment. The purpose of this paper is to propose three potential solutions to this problem and assess their quality and the feasibility of their application.
Solution Number One
Wired connection – optical fiber. This type of connection is possible if the local provider has the technical capabilities to bring the network into the house. It requires an already laid fiber-optic network, which is very rare in remote settlements since it is unprofitable for communication service providers from a financial position.
Solution Number Two
Satellite Internet. A practical option that allows connecting regardless of the distance from the base station. If a user wants to organize Internet in the village via satellite communication, they need to be prepared for the purchase of an antenna, modem, signal translator and special mounting equipment.
Solution Number Three
Internet via 3G/4G modem. To connect the Internet in this way, only a SIM card is needed if a user plans to access the network only from a mobile device. It should be noted that a router is additionally required to organize a wireless connection. It is the easiest way to connect the Internet in the village and the country, but it can malfunction.
Evaluation Criteria
The criteria for evaluating the proposed solutions will be the quality of the connection, the price of equipment, and a variety of tariffs. Connection via optical fiber and satellite Internet ensures high connection stability, while mobile 3G/4G Internet gives a weak signal at long distances from the station. When using a fiber-optic connection, it is necessary to conclude a new contract every year since providers do not allow pausing tariffs and require a fee every month, regardless of the use of the network. Satellite Internet also has a high cost, and mobile Internet is financially affordable. Finally, fiber-optic communication satellite Internet does not have a wide variety of tariffs, unlike mobile Internet.
