Abstract

The digital divide limits access to education, employment, and healthcare-particularly in rural areas. Unfortunately, most wireless solutions have been developed for urban and suburban environments. However, by using transdisciplinary systems approaches, we can highlight gaps and opportunities to resolve this divide by addressing technology, policy, and community challenges. By creating a digital entity to represent the problem space, we can tailor solutions to specific scenarios.
