Wireless Ghana

Below is a list of current and ongoing community wireless projects in and around Ghana. If you have a project please list it here, along with any links to more information about it.

Projects:

+ TIER: UC Berkeley initiative to connect university libraries and more.

+ Akwapim Community Wireless Network: Pilot project of Wireless Ghana.

+ Twifo Connect: Twifo Hemang Lower Denkyra District Assembly was the first rural District in Ghana to get a sattelite link to the internet and operate a public internet café in 2002 as a pilot for a regional ICT project. Due to operational difficulties however, the cafe had to close in 2005. Only in December 2006 it reopened under new management as a local private company Twifo Connect ltd. The cafe is located at the Assembly Building and from the roof of the building a hotspot will be providing WLAN services to offices, schools and businesses in Twifo Praso from the third week of February 2007. A radio link to some schools and institutions farther away will be set up soon.
