Wireless LAC (TRICALCAR)
Posted 10 December 2007 by kelly
APC is always looking for South-South networking opportunities. While the wireless project was initially located in Africa, from the outset APC’s strategic uses programme felt that APC should be exploring similar opportunities in other regions.

- Tricalcar regions
As the team monitored the strengths and weaknesses of the emerging Africa workshops, the project was reconfigured. TRICALCAR, as the project became known, puts more emphasis on constructing permanent usable networks that will be left to communities who host workshops, as well as on developing a strong network of LAC experts and community network administrators.
As part of TRICALCAR:
- A series of training materials are being developed, localised into Spanish and published online
- Nearly a hundred telecentre operators, academics and other professionals are being trained in building community wireless networks
- An online network is being created of people interested in using wireless technology for development work in LAC following workshops in three regions
