Abstract

This paper presented a report about a multimedia project carried out in underdeveloped area in Indonesia. We first explained assumptions of the project, then followed by discussion on network design issues using wireless LAN and power line communication (PLC) based the assumptions. The network design then would be a platform for the e-learning applications we created based on feedback from local people, to address digital divide in the area of Lombok Island. Problem and challenge encountered from network design issues and applications would be addressed including lesson learnt.
