The next billion mobile users will come from rural areas. These sites, however, have limited or no electricity. Using renewable energy sources enable networks beyond the grid possible.

The rural market is largely untapped and provides a huge growth potential. For telecom operators, the urban areas are now saturated with a teledensity of over 70 percent. Rural or remote areas are now the obvious choice to expand.

Many years ago, telecom companies were reluctant to penetrate rural markets simply because these areas have limited access to electricity. Not anymore. Telecom companies are not only rushing for the rural markets but are also creating products that are apt for the market.
