Rural Community Internet<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Award<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

Soluciones Tecnol\u00f3gicas TW has managed to expand Internet access by deploying its own infrastructure and wireless links in marginalized areas of the southern state of Yucat\u00e1n, where most of the communities do not have access to mobile telephony, let alone access to Internet services. As a strategic component and for the purpose of optimizing the use of our own resources and benefitting the poorer communities, hotspots were deployed in 20 indigenous communities so that the population would not need to invest in infrastructure but would still be able to access the Internet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing a CoAP Proxy in the Contiki-NG Operating System for 6LoWPAN Networks<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Grants<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

The general objective of the project is to implement the proxy feature for the CoAP protocol in the Contiki-NG operating system. This will contribute to the development of the Contiki-NG open-source project, allowing academia, companies, and government agencies to use this feature in embedded devices without the need for additional hardware and robust software libraries such as Californium for Java, CoAP.NET for C#, or CoAPthon for Python<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DDoS Attack Identification and Mitigation in Software-Defined Networks for IoT<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Grants<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

The mitigation of cyberattacks using emerging technologies such as SDN and NFV has not been sufficiently studied. The purpose of this research is to identify and characterize the main attacks that can occur in new-generation network architectures that include IoT devices, and to design strategies that will allow the rapid deployment of high-level security policies in the network using SDN and NFV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Understanding the impacts of Remote Peering on Internet routing<\/strong><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Grants<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

Our project aims to analyze Remote Peering (RP) deployment at Latin American IXPs and investigate its implications to Internet routing. By understanding the RP usage and its impacts on the control and data planes, we expect to provide transparency on which networks are remote at IXPs and help operators to assess the tradeoffs of RP and of exchanging traffic with remotely connected ASes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

VE without Filters<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Award<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

Venezuela without Filters (VSF by its Spanish acronym) is a project that seeks to defend digital rights in Venezuela.
To do this, it takes advantage of existing studies and recognized research results to document and obtain critical information on the scale of cyberattacks sponsored by the Venezuelan government against dissidents, independent media, and civil society organizations and activists, trying to identify government surveillance efforts and strengthening documentation on Internet censorship and network interference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Health Online Indicators in LAC: Access to Safe and Affordable Health Solutions Using the Internet \u2013 Study on Telemedicine and Purchase of Medicines Online<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Grants<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

The \u201cHealth Online Indicators\u201d project will present, in an easily readable form, five indicators that can help enable access to safe and affordable health solutions using the Internet in LAC. The information that will be part of this dataset will be taken from various national laws, executive orders, communications from national authorities, and academic research. So, while the data mostly exists already, it is neither properly organized nor accessible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4G Community Network<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Grants<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

In Mexico, approximately 12 million people do not have access to mobile or fixed bandwidth, and this substantially limits their chances of being informed and participating in the global economy and society. In terms of aggregate mobile coverage (including 2G, 3G, and 4G technologies), rural areas with less than 10,000 inhabitants are the most affected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
