In 1998 in relation to a research project between Technical University of Denmark and University of Ghana, a network infrastructure was implemented using different wireless technologies. The network which is operational today is connected to the Internet back bone using a satellite (VSAT) connection.
As depicted in the following figure the network is envisaged to consist of different research and education institutions with the existing university ring at University of Ghana (Legon) and the Library network as associated networks.
The connection to other institutions in Accra area like CSIR and Korlebu are point to point WiFi connections. The WiFi solution is immediately relevant for the institutions in and around Accra with a distance of about 20 to 30 Kilometres to University of Ghana. In the case of institutions far away from Legon separate solutions has been sought, e.g., using the fibre ring that is installed by the Volta region power company in the southern region of Ghana.
