Two weeks ago and in a collaboration between Fairwaves and Rhizomatica, UmTRX was used to bring mobile communications to the rural village of Yaviche in Mexico.
Arriving late on the evening of Thursday 26th September and after a 5 ½ hour drive, by the end of the following day Fairwaves had installed a GSM network that is now providing up to around 2km coverage, and were able to leave early on the morning of Friday 28th.
