Ucha Seturi (right) and Murmani Tcharelidze aligning an antenna near the village of Jvarboseli in Tusheti, a beautiful but very remote region of the Greater Caucasus Mountains in the Republic of Georgia, on 22 July 2017. They were part of a team that was building a solar-powered wireless network to bring broadband Internet access to Tusheti. Jvarboseli is in a part of Tusheti where there was no communications connectivity of any kind, and where Internet access is particularly welcome.<br />
<br />
The network project was the result of the partnership between several local and international Internet and development organizations including the Internet Society and its Georgia Chapter, and the Tusheti Development Fund. The project aims to provide a way for the people who live in Tusheti to build opportunities while preserving their local heritage, traditions, and ways of life.
