Actelis to Win 1st Place for NA in IEEE ComSoc Internet for All Competition
Feb. 2022, Fremont CA – At the end of 2021 IEEE ComSoc initiated a competition for solutions that can help close the Digital Divide and provide Internet to all. As ComSoc defined it, the “Digital Divide” is the gap between those who are able to benefit from the digital age and those who are not. The absence of connectivity is not merely a technological barrier, but one that affects access to healthcare, education, social services, work, and participation in global and local economies. A similar problem exists with local infrastructure. Internet providers may not be focused on deploying the infrastructure necessary to bring services to all rural homes and villages.
