The solution deploys a network of low-cost, long-range radio nodes in underserved areas that connect to high-altitude balloons or drone base stations equipped with satellite uplinks.

Each node acts as a repeater, creating a mesh network that enables data packets to be sent across local nodes to reach a nearby uplink, ensuring at least partial connectivity even if some nodes temporarily go offline.

The system leverages intelligent routing algorithms to maintain data flow and adapt to connectivity changes, prioritizing data packets based on urgency, such as emergency health alerts.

This hybrid approach reduces dependency on local infrastructure build-out by integrating satellite and local radio technology.

It provides a cost-effective, scalable solution that increases the reliability of remote care internet access in rural and underserved regions, reducing health disparity and potentially saving lives by ensuring timely medical intervention.

Low-cost radio nodes and existing satellite technology make this solution technically feasible.

Costs are kept low due to minimal ground infrastructure and reusable drone and balloon technology, facilitating deployment.

Telecommunications partnerships will be essential to navigate spectrum regulation and further reduce costs.
