This is partially funded by the RSBI connecting the schools at Whanganui Awa, Aberfeldy and Upokongaro, and an additional 3 small repeaters down the valley. All it took was a little bit of local passion and drive, and 2 days with binoculars and a quad bike to plan.

There are fairly easy solutions for most of these communities if they actually want broadband, the biggest problem to supplying broadband connectivity into these areas is that many people just expect it to be delivered to them with no effort on their own part.

Cheers
