Fwd: [afren] IoT School at ICTP — grants available
by Barrack Otieno 16 Jan '18

16 Jan '18

Listers, Might be of interest to some. Best Regards ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: <mzennaro(a)ictp.it> Date: Tue, Jan 16, 2018 at 1:13 PM Subject: [afren] IoT School at ICTP — grants available To: afren(a)afnog.org Joint ICTP-IAEA School on LoRa Enabled Radiation and Environmental Monitoring Sensors Date: 23 April to 11 May 2018 Venue: ICTP, Trieste, Italy LoRa is a long range, low power networking solution recently developed for the Internet of Things (IoT). In the workshop we will learn about the underlying technology and protocols and we will develop scientific instrumentation with LoRa chips. A LoRa network can connect a plethora of tiny battery powered LoRa sensors and devices within a few kilometers and even up to 150 km with line of sight. With complete LoRa modules available from $5 USD the cost of instrumenting huge areas and cities with real-time environmental sensor networks has diminished substantially. In this school the participants will develop and construct instrumentation and sensors equipped or embedded with LoRa chip and they will deploy and analyse the data from a LoRa enabled sensor network across the ICTP campus and in Trieste. The power of the technology to rely on long distance, low power (battery or rechargeable/ renewable) technologies is of considerable interest to the environmental monitoring of cities and agricultural environments. Topics: • LoRa and LoRaWAN protocols; • Prototyping of sensor boards; • Coding of LoRa sensors; • Planning and deployment of a LoRa network; • Collection, analysis and the visualization of the data. A limited number of grants are available to support the attendance of selected participants, with priority given to participants from Developing Countries. Additional grants for students from Developing Countries formally enrolled in a PhD programme are available thanks to Sigcomm’s support. Online application: http://indico.ictp.it/event/8298/ Application deadline: February 26, 2018 Best, Marco Marco Zennaro, PhD // Research Officer // T/ICT4D Lab // ICTP // wireless.ictp.it _______________________________________________ afren mailing list afren(a)afnog.org https://www.afnog.org/mailman/listinfo/afren -- Barrack O.

On Kenya power and lightening reliability
by William Muriithi 21 Dec '17

21 Dec '17

Hi guys and girls, I read this article below yesterday and it got me thinking how Uhuru's policy in electrification, while initially looked nice is bound to leave the country in a poorer state way past his time in office. I think the only way KPLC will ever recover the investment it has put down is from the government - essentially tax. Have no problem with tax, but this is a white elephant, not something to take the country forward. https://www.economist.com/news/middle-east-and-africa/21732540-power-and-pe… This paragraph sum up at what the problem with Uhuru's strategy on electrification. Imagine if all that money wasted on connection were invested in solar panels. Most of those people would actually be using electricity instead of charcoal stoves and kerosene lamps as it would be cheaper. Quote: Bringing electricity to subsistence farmers certainly improves their lot. But it is not cheap: a single connection in Kenya can cost nearly $2,500. And since few people in rural areas can afford to buy power-hungry appliances such as fridges or airconditioners, there is little chance that utilities will make much of a return on their investment. For people in rural areas, off-grid power such as solar panels or small hydroelectric systems may be a better option. Abandoning the attempt to connect them to the grid would mean more money to invest in urban areas. End quote: And this is the sad consequence, basically no investment in manufacturing as no one can count of KPLC providing power in a sustainable manner. Really sad as Africa can win manufacturing business as China is getting rich and labour becoming expensive. Quote: Worldwide, power consumption is strongly correlated to GDP, but in Africa most countries use less power than their incomes would predict. That is largely because Africa has so little manufacturing and heavy industry. If electrification programmes continue to focus on rural areas, utilities may be too cash-strapped to maintain the grid where it really matters: in cities and industrial regions where investors are building factories. Without industrialisation and good jobs, few Africans will be able to afford much more electricity. That is real powerlessness. End quote: Regards, William
