ANTENNE SOLIDAIRE uses the concept of inter-network synergy and ICT to promote sustainable development. It allows televisions from several different households to be networked together using a manual multi-port connector, hooked up to one radio wave antenna. These connectors are manufactured locally, which creates a source of self-employment for youth in the telecom sector. This initiative uses a single antenna to build a community environment around sharing a common resource.
This initiative helps protect the environment while providing low-income populations with the opportunity to experience community solidarity by sharing a single television antenna that benefits many households.
This project aims to revitalize a weakened sense of community solidarity in Africa.
We shared the project idea with Benin’s TV Com, who are currently carrying out this initiative.
