Irrigation and Communication Networks: HuaralThis is a project that it is being managed by the Boards and the Commissions - with all the problemsand difficulties that that implies. The telephone service is key for their own organisation– the Board sees that first. Second, they see that it is an attractive question in terms of the generationof revenues and some see that that will be the main source of income in a telecentre.Mr. Vega tells us:The telephone plays an important role. The Board, will be able to communicate with the IrrigatorsCommission, with a director, or representative of one of the sectors if a user or resident hasemergency. We’ll be able to communicate immediately with the police, the hospital, or clinic.Without the phone, when a sick person comes to our office, hours can pass before we geta message out.... So many things the phone line will be helpful for. Right now the system isonly for the internal network but they are going to install some equipment and we’ll be connectedwith the public phone network.With time, the Users Board has become aware of the importance of the telephone network andthe need to organise the service appropriately. The Board has accepted the challenge of not developingthe telephone project from a limited business perspective. Instead they will develop itas a public service. They believe that they have an obligation to provide the service to thefarmers of the valley, and that this is more important than making profits from the network.According to Mr. Vega:There are some that are looking at it as a business, but for me it is not. We can charge forthe maintenance of the equipment and to make sure we can continue growing, but firstly this116
Community-based Networks and Innovative Technologiesis a working tool. In rural areas all are children of farmers, families of farmers, we want todevelop everything together, to develop the farmer economically and culturally. In the sameway the neighbour will also develop more because when a farmer is better off, he will hiremore help. In all the cases we are communicating with them and developing the idea in a cooperativeway.4.2 From Project to Public ServiceInstalled InfrastructureThe project has deployed a wireless network that connects 13 populated centers of themiddle and low areas of Huaral Valley with the Board of Users located in the town of Huaral.The interconnection of the locations of the project will be done with digital linked radioequipment that allows high-speed data transmission using WiFi 802.11g technology in the2.400-2.500 GHz frequency range over distances up to 25km. The system will enable thelocations to be interconnected fulltime, using their own infrastructure and, therefore,having low monthly maintenance costs.The locations are: Huando, Retes Naturales, Huayán Chico, Cuyo, San Miguel, Caqui, Palpa,Chacra y Mar, Quepe Pampa, Chancayllo, La Huaca, Jesús del Valle y Aucallama. EsperanzaBaja, Las Salinas y Acos will not be connected.The use of this technology will allow the interconnection of the computer networks at eachlocation mentioned above, at speeds ranging from 64Kbps to 2Mbps. Each location willbe able to add new computers to its local network without altering the wide area networklinking the communities. All thirteen locations share the 512 Kbps broadband connectionthat the Users Board contracted in Huaral for the project.117
