As part of a hybrid Village Area Network implemented to provide real-time internet access at different sites throughout the capital of Kigali, FMS's unique store-and-forward connectivity is demonstrated in the countryside. Throughout all the implementation, major emphasis is put in the formation and training of a local technical team in order to ensure the proper transfer of technology and its associated knowledge. At FMS's departure the local team is capable of operating, troubleshooting and expanding the network at their own will.
