Internet Access for Tusheti I

Amirani Giorganashvili connecting a sector antenna while setting up a tower on Diklo Mountain in Tusheti, a beautiful but very remote region of the Greater Caucasus Mountains in the Republic of Georgia, on 2 July 2017. He was part of a team building a solar-powered wireless network to bring broadband to Tusheti. The project was a joint effort between several organizations including the Internet Society, Small & Medium Telecom Operators Association, the Tusheti Development Fund and Freenet. It aims to support Tushetians’ ability to build economic opportunities while preserving their heritage, traditions, and ways of life.
