One of the necessary conditions for ISPs operating in rural areas lies in finding ways to ensure uninterrupted Internet connectivity and maximizing the utilization of available bandwidth with minimal impact on the end user’s experience. 

Bandwidth is an expensive resource in many developing countries and is often one of the most considerable components of a rural ISP's operational expenses.

In this project, we focused on the development of a unique set of solutions for this challenge, collectively referred to as the “Bandwidth Maximizer” (BwM). Essentially, AirJaldi’s BwM combines local content caching and filtering with tools that enable the use and load-balancing of multiple upstream connections. The development of the AirJaldi BwM was made possible through the kind support of ISIF Asia .

You can read more about the Bwm by accessing the links provided here, which include the project report available both as an Acrobat .pdf file and as an HTML text. The report’s annex, also available in HTML and  .pdf, contains a step-by-step installation manual. Also note the configuration file, which you will need if you intend to use the AirJladi BwM.
