Steve, the FRIDA (LACNIC) awards and grants are currently open and AlterMundi could ask up
to $40.000 this time.
I've seen that
is also open now.
Both FIRE and FRIDA are part of the same Seed Alliance. Maybe we could send a project to
both programs?
During the IGF where we met, I met a Florence Toffa, director of Mobile Web Ghana[0] and
Project Manager of Code for Ghana[1]. Her project was awarded a FIRE award last year.
They might be interested in partnering with Village Telco for a FIRE grant this year...
Cheers!

Hi Nicolas,
Sorry for the slow reply. I got a response today but not for a single
AR9344 device, rather for something a bit more powerful. They suggested
an AR9344 + AR9382 design, with high power (up to 600mw ) on both 2.4G
and 5.8G and four antennas. The estimated manufacturing cost is around
$70~$80 depending on final spec. This is obviously a much more powerful
device. What do you think?
More info on AR9382

And here is a Ruckus device that seems to implement both chipsets,
selling for about $450

Hi all,
Just a short note to say that I have passed on the specs we
discussed to
our manufacturing partner in Shenzhen and he
should be able to give us
feedback shortly on the affordability of the platform.
I found out that the AR9344 needs an external chip for the dual
radio to
operate simultaneously. We obviously need that.
