Title: Antena workshop replication in India?

tags: APC

People involved

• Manoj, ServeLots
• Pablo Bustos, TDR

Background

Antennas can be expensive, they can damage easily, and it is a key asset in the wireless networking. Being able to manufacture them locally means that they are easily replaceable, with local materials, cheaper and provide local labour, and improves the skills within the communities… and can also adapt to their realities.
We developed an antenna model that fits different scenarios. We are interested in systematising and sharing the procedures and tools used for its construction.

Deliverables

Activity 1

Name: Story of why we chose the waveguide model for our antenna.
Output: we propose a jitsi meeting to share our experience. This activity will result in a compilation of material that will facilitate decision-making to choose techniques, materials and tools.
Who: Pablo Bustos, TDR; Manoj, ServeLots
Duration: 2 hours

Activity 2

Name: Share designs and drawings of the models developed.
Output: We will provide material in pdf/website format with designs and plans, and a meeting to explain how we arrived at this design.
Who: Pablo Bustos, TDR; Manoj, ServeLots

Activity 3

Name: Build a step-by-step tutorial collectively to replicate antenna fabrication in other territories
Output: Will produce written documentation, and videos from the calls.
Who: TDR

Activity 4

Name: Share obstacles, mistakes and challenges found throughout the experience.
Output: Sharing it on a webinar. Learning team documents and complements documentation built by teaching group.
Who: TDR
