Abstract

This paper presents the design and implementation of a portable satellite station (Ku band) for itinerant multimodal Internet access, to be used on the Inca Trail route to the citadel of Machupicchu – Cusco – Perú. A restrictive and challenging set of requirements had to be meet or exceeded such as low energy consumption, portability and ease of deployment, all of them achieved via a field-tested prototype based on a simple but innovative approach.
