COST EFFECTIVE DELIVERY OF NETWORK CONNECTIVITY TO REMOTE AREAS

Abstract:

A computer-implemented method for delivering network connectivity includes receiving, by an edge server, a set of communication packets from a communication device. The method further includes storing, by the edge server, the set of communication packets as part of outbound data. The method further includes determining, by the edge server, that a mobile access point is within a communicable range of the edge server. The mobile access point travels back and forth between the edge server and a base station. The method further includes transmitting, by the edge server, the outbound data to the mobile access point that is within the communicable range.
