Please add captions to the video? Would love to see this in rural US. Like in the mountains?

Great job, India! Now if only we could get the US to stop protecting regional monopolies on internet service in the US, maybe we'll also get fiber here. The awful FCC people put in place in 2017 by Trump after the current election have been allowing those companies to do whatever they want ...

We want to implement this project in our country. How to contact you?

[@desperatechihuahua7035]

Mother Yakar that is very GORD!

[@dalebob9364]

They're going to have faster internet than most of my state!😂 I guess wireless makes sense as is probably not many people wanting super low ping.

[@kvitlim8443]

Very cool. But what happens when the sun goes down and there's darkness?

[@agustinc6102]

Probably store solar power on batteries? The issue might be foggy or smoky days when the optical signal is not able to reach across the distances, though different light wavelengths are affected less or more by these phenomena.

[@markelliott3636]

They may have to put down the electronics and play with sticks. lol

[@pundirhimanshu]

Good but it won't work in india hig altitude village.... Because most of the time you will get foggy weather..... So light is not the answer 🤗🤗🤗🤗 Where as radio waves signal are still way more stronger in bad weather then light

Less prone to errors? A slight misalignment or an obstruction or rain must affect this

[@Hackerisitic]

Error correction is a thing, isn't it?

It's better than 5G

Much before the people in these areas get services which improve health or education they will get social media...do the math

[@SanjayRamaswamyWolvie]

Internet is enough to get better health and education now. We have got Huge funding into edtech sector last year and there are many online doctor consulting apps. A mobile with internet and money in pocket can get them what ever they want now.

[@gaswhole]

@@SanjayRamaswamyWolvie which are the doctor consulting apps which poor people can use? Im curious.

[@hampTC]

They will get access to the ever growing collective knowledge of humanity. There is more to the internet than social media :/

[@gaswhole]

@@hampTC Sure there is more to the internet than social media, just as there is more to TV than saas bahu. same story here sadly compare the growth of the company Facebook to any medical or educational service. How old is Facebook (16) and how big its become. Zuck is worth $140 billion. The pandemic has shown that there are next to no public education resources online for poor students. The internet hasn't given people access to anything but has given companies access to poor people, the fortune at the bottom of the pyramid

[@SanjayRamaswamyWolvie]

@@gaswhole It is not about poor or rich. It is about hospital availability. For now, people can use Practo and other online consulting apps for 200/- rs per session if they want a private doctor or If govt wants to intervene a Govt Doctor sitting in a city can talk to people in tribal areas and prescribe medicines which can be delivered by drones or RMP or India Post. Tech just helps us, But our intention to help each other is the important thing here
