CAST is a research project that is currently running in Armenia. We are introducing a local WiFi/intranet-style network to three remote villages. The project is looking into whether information can be provided in remote locations with little to no connectivity, or where connectivity is expensive or unreliable, as well as places where media may be controlled. It will test new digital ways for villages to connect with news, information and each other, without being connected to the internet.
The project is a collaboration between Media Innovation Studio (University of Central Lancashire), WiCastr and Impact Hub Yerevan.
