The MCTs, which were deployed under the Valetta Action Plan (VAP), are located in two small villages
containing 2,000 and 3,500 inhabitants, respectively. These villages are
surrounded by smaller villages of less than 300 inhabitants which lack
telephone service, electricity and adequate road access. |

The packet radio network will link ?gmini-MCTs?h, consisting of
1-2 personal computers (PCs) in an outlying village, to one of the full
size MCTs. Each mini-MCT will use a 38,400-baud packet radio node and
establish a wireless link to a server at the nearest MCT. The mini-
MCTs will be capable of providing all of the standard Internet-based
services plus a set of customized services developed by the project
partners in the areas of tele-health, tele-education, agriculture,
emergency management and community messaging. |
